The achievements in the field of refractive surgery in China are all built brick by brick, and the current minimally invasive surgery is the mainstream of refractive myopia surgery, which is the future and needs to be implemented scientifically and standardly. Wang Yan, chairman of the Refractive Surgery Committee of the Ophthalmology Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, said that through the standardization and standardization of surgery, it not only leads the development of refractive surgery in China, but also plays an important role in the international field.
On March 5, Wang Yan and Shi Weiyun, deputy to the National People's Congress and president of the Eye Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Ge Jian, chairman of the Ophthalmology Branch of the China Association of Non-public Medical Institutions, Zhou Xingtao, president of the Eye and Otolaryngology Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, and Li Ning, head of refractive business of Zeiss China, were guests of the people's ** health client 2024 health policy series live broadcast to jointly build a refractive surgery health ecosystem.

From the history of the development of refractive surgery, it can be seen that the role of scientific and technological development in the medical field has been fully played, among which the ophthalmology practitioners of non-public hospitals have played a very good role in the promotion of femtosecond laser surgery in China, especially after the upgrading of medical services, so that more patients can enjoy high-quality medical services and increase the accessibility of patients with different needs. Ge Jian said, "While improving the quality and accessibility of refractive surgery services, we should look at surgery rationally, including research and development costs, production costs, publicity and education, sales costs, etc., which need to be combined with actual value." ”
Awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018, the femtosecond laser is used to make corneal tissue lenses, and the SMILE surgery allows patients to improve their vision in a very short time after surgery without significant discomfort and vision recovery. Zhou Xingtao said that at present, minimally invasive femtosecond smile has become one of the mainstream refractive surgery methods.
In fact, minimally invasive not only refers to the difference between 2 millimeters and 20 millimeters of full femtosecond and half femtosecond, but also specifically reflects the patient's performance after surgery, which is manifested as less dry eye, good character, mild inflammation and less pain. Li Ning said that in the future, Zeiss will always adhere to the cooperation of government, medicine, enterprises, academia, research, media and other aspects, so that more people and collectives can join the refractive health ecosystem and help the eye health of the Chinese people to a new level.
In the future, the main force of popular science communication should be medical workers, especially clinical medical workers, and work together to do a good job in the popular science education of patients. Shi Weiyun said.
