Professor Hiroko Bissen-Miyajima, chairman of APACRS, presented the award to Professor Yao Ke. Professor Graham Barrett, chairman of the jury of this year’s film festival, commented: “Of all the participating films, this is undoubtedly the best film with both academic and artistic qualities. The completeness of the postoperative patients was followed up and a series of results were compared. It is a highly educational and high-quality film that can be watched!" Professor Yao Ke also said excitedly that this award is indeed like the title of the film I have realized my two big dreams in the same way: First, there are tens of thousands of ophthalmologists in China, but none of them have won a film festival award; second, when I studied in Switzerland in the early 1990s, I studied glaucoma diseases. After returning to China, I followed the ophthalmology department. With the continuous development of technology, cataract surgery has entered the era of minimally invasive surgery, so the idea of combining glaucoma with cataracts for minimally invasive surgery has emerged.

has been known as the Asia-Pacific Ophthalmology Oscar since the APACRS Film Festival has attracted a large number of ophthalmologists from Europe, America and the Asia-Pacific region to submit contributions every year. They present a variety of innovative technologies and clinics through rich film art As a result of the research, the quality of participating films has been improving year by year. From the conception of the film script to the academic content of the film and the post-production, they all reflect a very professional level. The APACRS Film Festival also ranks alongside ASCRS (American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery) and ESCRS (European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery) as the world's three authoritative international film festivals in the field of cataract and refractive surgery. After the conference, Professor Yao Ke also sincerely hopes that more Chinese ophthalmologists can participate in the major film festivals, and show the advanced domestic technology and experience on the international stage in another way.
