纪家树教授现任香港理工大学眼科视光学院主任、教授及视觉科学研究中心副主任，并获授胡赓佩家族眼科视光学教授席。他毕业于理大眼科视光学系，后获美国纽约市立学院硕士及休斯顿大学博士学位，曾任新英格兰视光学院助理教授。纪教授专注研究近视和散光机制及防控技术，领衔创建了两家初创企业。他构建了结合诊断设备与动物模型的体系，揭示屈光发育机制；并将小动物精密数码诊断系统转化为便携式检测设备，提升了偏远地区儿童散光筛查的可及性。纪教授曾获理大医疗及社会科学院2019/2020年度杰出教学成就奖，其研发技术获多项国际专利。他领导团队屡获日内瓦国际发明展殊荣：2024年凭「便携式高清角膜地形图仪」获特别大奖及金奖；2025年凭「Wellsees角膜塑形镜」获银奖；2026年凭「oka³y! 人工智能辅助散光非对称设计的个人化自由曲面角膜塑形镜」获特别优异奖及评审团嘉许金奖。

Prof. Chea-su Kee is a Professor teaching Optometry subjects related to clinical and ophthalmic dispensing at the School of Optometry, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). He received his Bachelor degree in Optometry from PolyU and later obtained his Masters and PhD degrees from the City College of New York and the University of Houston, respectively. Before returning to Hong Kong, Prof. Kee was an Assistant Professor in Physiological Optics at the New England College of Optometry in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He currently holds the prestigious title of K.B. Woo Family Professor in Optometry. 

Prof. Kee’s constant research interest is how visual optics regulate eye growth. Through active collaborations with vision scientists and engineers around the world, he has devised ocular diagnostic tools and animal models to study the role of visual experience on refractive development. Knowledge gained from the mixture of basic and translational research has accelerated knowledge transfer. 

In particular, the transformation of a digital diagnostic imaging device to analyze anterior eye shape from his animal lab has facilitated the early diagnosis of astigmatic children. His current goal is to understand how optics due to abnormal corneal shape can alter refractive development. 

Prof. Kee’s innovative work has been recognized with several prestigious international awards. The “Portable High-Definition Corneal Topographer” developed by Prof. Kee’s team shone at the 49^th Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions in 2024, winning both the Prize of the Saudi Arabian Delegation and Gold Medal. Furthermore, the “Wellsees Orthokeratology Contact Lens”, developed under his leadership, achieved remarkable success at the 50^th Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions in 2025, winning a Silver Medal and continuously demonstrating the innovative capabilities of his research team.
