Authors: Sheryl Stevenson, Daniel Ting ｜ Published: August 27, 2025
As myopia rates continue to climb globally—emerging as a major concern not only in Asia but increasingly in the West—the upcoming Collaborative Community on Ophthalmic Innovation (CCOI) Myopia Workshop in Paris, France, on September 8, 2025, will spotlight urgent questions in research, treatment, and public health. The meeting marks the first time CCOI has taken its workshop outside the United States, reflecting the worldwide need for collaboration in tackling this epidemic.
To preview the discussions, The Eye Care Network spoke with Assoc Prof Daniel Ting, program co-chair of the myopia workshop, to learn more. Ting is a senior consultant vitreoretinal surgeon with the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) and concurrently, associate professor, SingHealth Duke-NUS Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences Academic Clinical Programme (ACP) and adjunct clinical associate professor and an innovation mentor at Stanford University. He is also the director of Singapore Health Service (SingHealth) AI Office, SNEC Chief Data and Digital Officer, and head of AI and Digital Innovation in Singapore Eye Research Institute (SERI).
