At the beginning of the Spring Festival, the mother of Xiao Ming, a second-grade student at Lixi Primary School, sent a WeChat message to Ma Xiaoyun, director of the ophthalmology department of Zhoupu Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Health Medical College and chairman of the Shanghai Health Hospital branch of Jiusan Society: "My son said that he can see the blackboard clearly in class, you are really our messenger of light!" On the eve of the Spring Festival, the 2023 "Shanghai Outstanding Volunteers" were announced, and Ma Xiaoyun was listed, and the deeds of the award were "carrying out public welfare volunteer services and being a firm guardian of eye health".
The word Xiaoyun in my name means bright, this is probably fate, in this life, I want to be a person who has faith in my heart and brings light to others. In 2019, he chose to come to Zhoupu Hospital in the suburbs, and he believes that with the rise of myopia prevention and control as a national strategy and the release of the "13th Five-Year Plan" National Eye Health Plan, ophthalmology and optometry have ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. "Although Shanghai is a first-tier city with relatively rich medical resources, there is still an uneven distribution of medical resources," he began to explore with his ideals.
At that time, the diagnosis and treatment and prevention of ophthalmology in the Zhou Kanghang area could not well meet the needs of the masses, especially the eye disease problems of the two groups of "one old and one young" were more prominent, and the incidence of myopia in children remained high. How to effectively combine the "prevention" and "treatment" of eye diseases, especially to move the prevention and treatment of eye diseases of "one old and one young" forward? With the efforts of Ma Xiaoyun, the Eye Health (Optometry) Center of Shanghai Health Medical College was inaugurated, with the help of the "Regional Medical Center" specialist medical alliance platform, in the form of volunteer service, in-depth participation in the "one old and one young" eye disease screening, to achieve the organic integration of prevention and treatment. On June 6, 2020, the "Zhoukang Medical Alliance Eye Health Volunteer Service Team" was established, opening a new model of "full-cycle eye health service for the whole population" with volunteer service.
During the development of children's vision, some children will develop acute myopia, and scientific intervention is very important at this time. We worked with the community health service center to go deep into the campus to do vision screening, and sure enough, we found a lot of cases. Ma Xiaoyun designed volunteer activities with a professional vision, led volunteers to use their spare time, visited more than 300 small and medium-sized institutions, and carried out about 200,000 volunteer services for children and adolescents to carry out myopia prevention and control.
Xiao Ming's mother introduced, "My son's eyesight has always been good, and he didn't say anything wrong when he went to the first grade. "What is especially convenient is that Zhoupu Hospital has opened a children's ophthalmology clinic on weekends and Sundays, which is convenient for parents to take their children to see a doctor after school. "We took advantage of the winter vacation, listened to Dr. Ma's words, and intervened in Xiao Ming's eyesight, and the effect was very good. The reporter learned that in order to improve the effectiveness of "myopia prevention and control", Zhoupu Hospital took the initiative to reduce the ** fee for all children and adolescents with refractive refraction, and has been reduced by more than 300,000 yuan.
Since 2021, Ma Xiaoyun has led a team to cooperate with 9 towns and towns to carry out the "Screening for Blinding Eye Disease in the Elderly" project, benefiting more than 90,000 elderly people. On the eve of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Dragon, Grandma Meng was referred to Ma Xiaoyun's specialist clinic through her family doctor, and the operation effect was very satisfactory to the elderly, and she quietly left a big red envelope in Ma Xiaoyun's office on the day of discharge. After Ma Xiaoyun found out, she immediately contacted Grandma Meng's family, but the family resolutely refused to take it back. He asked Grandma Meng's family doctor for "help", but the family still insisted in every way. "I definitely don't accept red envelopes, if you must express your gratitude, then turn love into charity power, so that more people can enjoy the light. After listening to Ma Xiaoyun's suggestion, Grandma Meng's family happily accepted and agreed to leave 200 yuan as a donation to donate to the "Auxiliary Charity and Care" project of the Shanghai Charity Association.
In 2023, with the support of the Zhoupu Town Civilization Office, the "Ma Xiaoyun Volunteer Service Studio" will be established, with 41 permanent volunteers, including 14 doctors, 7 masters, and 16 senior titles. The "Eye Health Center Open Day and Parent-Child Public Welfare Activity" carried out by the studio was selected as an outstanding volunteer service project for the practice of civilization in the new era in Pudong New Area. When the 30th "Love under the Blue Sky" activity month kicked off, the project was supported by the Shanghai Charity Association, and was expanded and upgraded to a comprehensive charity and public welfare project, focusing on special groups and vulnerable groups to regularly carry out activities such as popular science experience, cultural inheritance, charity medical assistance, and humanistic care.
The glimmer gathers, and the galaxy is vast. Ma Xiaoyun and the volunteers created a lot of popular science publicity materials, such as foldouts, manuals, posters, emojis, eye visors, handmade origami, fans, glasses cases, cups, etc.; "Zhoupu Hospital Eye Health Education Base" has been listed in 6 institutions, including Fu Lei Library, Zhoupu Primary School, and Southeast Kindergarten; Ma Xiaoyun presided over the compilation of "Guarding the Light, Illuminating the Future - Special Courseware for the Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents", which was funded by the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission, and the popular science works were accepted by platforms such as Learning Power, with more than 500,000 people reading on the whole network.
