No two leaves are identical, nor are any two pairs of eyes. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for myopia surgery.

Mainstream myopia surgeries fall into two categories: corneal laser surgery (SMILE, FS-LASIK) and ICL lens implantation.

When asked why she keeps embracing new technologies in refractive surgery, she shared that she herself benefited from the advanced Refractive Smart Sculpt technology years ago. Therefore, she fully understands patients’ enthusiasm and expectations for cutting-edge treatments.

She notes that while everyone has different eye conditions, the continuous expansion of surgical options and technological upgrades can better cater to diverse eye usage needs, bringing a more comfortable, precise and superior vision correction experience.

Last July, Dongguan Aier Eye Hospital introduced the new-generation VISUMAX 800 robotic SMILE system, the first of its kind in the city. Long before its arrival, Director Chen attended multiple academic seminars on this technology and gained hands-on experience with the advanced device.

Drawing on her rich clinical experience and solid theoretical knowledge, she obtained national certification as one of the first experts for this technology, ranking among the core specialists mastering robotic SMILE Pro in South China.
