Dr. Simon Fung

As a young boy born and raised in Hong Kong, Simon witnessed at first hand the effects of corneal blindness when his grandmother lost her sight. He subsequently completed his studies England, earning dual degrees at the University of Oxford in Physiological Sciences as well as in Medicine & Surgery. After his internship in Medicine in the Oxford Deanery, he moved to London for his residency based at Moorfields Eye Hospital, and was appointed the 2013/14 Moorfields Chief Resident. Having acquired the sub-specialist knowledge and skills in adult cornea and anterior segment at a Fellow in London, he followed his passion in pediatrics, and traveled to Toronto to undertake a second fellowship in Pediatric Cornea and External Diseases at The Hospital for Sick Children – the only dedicated fellowship in this subspecialty in the world. Over his career, he performed over 1500 procedures, including in children with complex cornea and anterior segment conditions. He is experienced in teaching and clinical research, and has published multiple peer-reviewed articles and given presentations at conferences both in US and in Europe. It is his ambition to not only provide the best care for children affected by corneal and anterior segment diseases, but also advance our understanding and championing innovation in this field.
