Biographical Sketch
Ningli Wang, Ph.D., Professor, Director of Beijing Institute of Ophthalmology, President of Ophthalmology Academy of Capital Medical University, President of Chinese Ophthalmological Society, Vice chairman of director of Asia-Pacific Academy of ophthalmology. His pioneering research focuses on the field of glaucoma, which has proposed a new classification system of primary angle-closure glaucoma based on the angle-closure mechanism; proposed new concept that high Trans-Lamina Cribrosa Pressure differences can cause optic nerve damage in glaucoma, and conducted a series of studies to verify these hypotheses; performed a study on the mechanism of glaucomatous posterior retinal neuron damage and proposed the concept that glaucoma is a disorder of the entire visual pathway; discovered the clinical features of pigment dispersion syndrome in the Chinese population is different from that in European and American populations, and developed diagnostic criteria for exfoliation syndrome in Chinese people; designed and spearheaded a number of new ophthalmic technologies, such as non-penetrating trabecular surgery, improved surgical extra-trabeculotomy, Schlemm’s forming dilatation, two-phase aqueous drainage implantation and endoscopic implantation in high myopia. He has been awarded Golden Key and Golden Apple Awards by the Chinese-American Ophthalmological Association, Outstanding Achievement Awards by the Chinese Ophthalmological Society, Achievement Awards by the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO), APAO Arthur Lim Awards, and Senior Clinician Scientist Awards by the World Glaucoma Association (2011).
