Students and staff from the Faculty of Optometry and Vision Sciences (FoOVS) at SEGi University participated in two major international conferences — the 5th Global Orthokeratology and Myopia Control Conference (GOMCC) and the 3rd Optometry Vietnam Conference (OVC) — held in Hanoi, Vietnam from 22 to 24 August 2025. The conferences brought together more than 780 eye care professionals from around the world, creating an engaging platform for learning, exchange and professional growth.
For SEGi’s optometry students, this international gathering was far more than an academic event. It was a chance to step beyond the classroom, gain global exposure, and witness how eye care innovation continues to evolve on an international stage.
Among the highlights was the participation of final-year students Dawn Lah Le Xuan dan Low Wency, who presented their final-year research projects through poster presentations. In addition, Dawn Lah Le Xuan, Ling Chia Hao, dan Tan Pei Thong shared their clinical insights through an oral clinical case presentation — demonstrating the confidence, clarity and maturity that SEGi nurtures in its future optometrists.
The conference also featured a workshop conducted by Mr Fakhruddin, senior lecturer at the Faculty of Optometry and Vision Sciences and a board member of the International Association of Contact Lens Educators (IACLE). His session brought together educators, researchers and practitioners to discuss current trends in clinical teaching and contact lens education, highlighting SEGi’s active presence in global optometry conversations.
During their time in Hanoi, the SEGi team also participated in an academic exchange at Hanoi Medical University (HMU). Students visited the facilities of the Optometry and Ophthalmology departments and took part in discussions on curriculum, training and clinical exposure. They also had the privilege of learning from Professor Bruce Moore, a renowned paediatric optometrist, Professor Emeritus of the New England College of Optometry, and Honorary Professor at Hanoi Medical University. His sharing provided valuable insights into paediatric eye care and global best practices.
SEGi University extends its appreciation to Ms Minh Anh Tran, Head of the Optometry Programme at Hanoi Medical University and International Research Fellow at SEGi University, for making this exchange possible.
SEGi is proud of its students and academic staff for representing the university with professionalism, curiosity and global-mindedness.
Their participation reflects SEGi’s commitment to nurturing optometry graduates who are internationally aware, clinically competent and ready to contribute meaningfully to the field of vision care.
This initiative is organised in support of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goal:
SDG 4 | Quality Education
