Hospitals designated as a training center for advanced eye surgery

By Cai Wenjun

Two Shanghai hospitals have been designated as high-end eye surgery training centers for young medics.

Fudan University's Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Hospital, a leading public hospital, and Shanghai Ai'er Eye Hospital, a private facility, have both been designated as training centers for implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery, which involves implanting a lens between the iris and the natural lens to treat refractive errors.

Typically, Fudan University's ENT Hospital offers ICL surgery as an alternative to people who do not meet the criteria for LASIK surgery.
