    The team has completed over 1,000 next-generation robotic SMILE Pro procedures, ranking among the top teams nationwide with substantial proven clinical outcomes.

At this glorious milestone event, representatives from ZEISS specially awarded Dr. Chen Xiaobei’s Team the Pioneer Award for Surgical Quality – Over 1,000 Minimally Invasive SMILE Pro Procedures with the Next-Generation Robotic VISUMAX™ 800 System. This honor not only verifies the large-scale, standardized and mature clinical application of this technology at our hospital, but also delivers solid data proving that Aier Eye Hospital Group is a national pioneer of this cutting-edge technique, and Dr. Chen Xiaobei’s team at Dongguan Aier stands as a leading domestic force in its clinical practice, winning industry-wide trust through uncompromised safety and superior quality.



Just One Year Since Introduction to Dongguan Aier, Excellence Earns Over 1,000 Patients’ Trust

With profound insight into the rising demand for myopia correction among the public, under the initiative of President Liu Fei and Director Chen Xiaobei, Dongguan Aier Eye Hospital took the lead in introducing the next-generation robotic VISUMAX 800 platform and launching robotic SMILE Pro surgery in July 2025. It became the first medical institution in Dongguan and one of the country’s first 60 facilities to adopt this technology, bringing the era of "10-second myopia correction" to Dongguan. Our mission is to enable local residents to access world-class precise vision correction close to home, delivering greater peace of mind and more treatment options for those seeking freedom from glasses.



01 Cutting-Edge Technology Delivers Brilliant Vision in Just 10 Seconds


Inheriting the minimally invasive, flap-free merits of traditional SMILE surgery, the next-generation robotic SMILE Pro is equipped with the ultra-high-frequency VISUMAX 800 laser system. Laser scanning for one eye takes merely 10 seconds, completing the procedure before patients even realize it.


Dual intelligent positioning technologies — CentraLign Central Alignment and OcuLign Cyclorotation Compensation — act like an inbuilt navigation system, automatically tracking subtle eyeball rotation to ensure every laser pulse lands exactly on the pre-planned target position.


Beyond precision, the operating room is designed for patient comfort: eight-color mood lighting and an open surgical table eliminate the cold, tense atmosphere of conventional operating suites. Soothing light therapy greatly relieves anxiety, boosting patients’ sense of safety throughout treatment.



02 Led by Renowned Refractive Surgeons, Backed by 30,000+ Cumulative Cases of Clinical Expertise


Dr. Chen Xiaobei’s team consists of multiple doctors holding master’s and doctoral degrees in ophthalmology. At its helm is Director Chen Xiaobei, the first specialist in Dongguan and one of the country’s earliest surgeons to perform the next-generation robotic SMILE Pro, with over 20,000 SMILE procedures under her belt. Collectively, the team boasts more than 30,000 completed SMILE surgeries — a clinical record reflecting its profound expertise and outstanding strength in refractive surgery.


Driven by dual core advantages: specialist surgical proficiency paired with intelligent robotic equipment, the team has elevated the safety and stability of refractive surgery to unprecedented levels. Under Director Chen’s leadership, the team continuously tackles complex refractive conditions, setting industry-leading technical standards and redefining the benchmark for myopia correction in Dongguan.


03 Exclusive Launch of Enhanced Astigmatism-Correction SMILE Pro in Dongguan


Building on the clinical success of over 1,000 robotic SMILE Pro cases, Dr. Chen Xiaobei’s team keeps pace with global top-tier refractive innovations to benefit local patients, introducing Dongguan’s exclusive Enhanced Astigmatism-Correction Version of robotic SMILE Pro. This technology precisely addresses the unmet vision needs of patients with astigmatism, filling the technical gap for high-definition astigmatism correction and bringing accurate vision care to astigmatic patients.



Traditional SMILE relies on manual preoperative eye marking by surgeons. When patients shift from a sitting to lying position, physiological eyeball rotation often causes deviation in astigmatism axis alignment. The enhanced robotic SMILE Pro enables seamless data interconnection between the surgical platform and the IOL Master 700 biometer, forming a fully intelligent workflow: digital iris archiving, automatic intraoperative alignment and real-time cyclorotation compensation. Featuring exclusive digital iris profiles, fully automatic iris registration and ultra-precise 1° axis locking, it drastically improves astigmatism correction accuracy, helping patients achieve crisp, high-quality vision.


Full-Spectrum Refractive Solutions Upgraded, Three Flagship Technologies Fully Available


To make advanced eye care accessible to all, matching safe, comfortable correction plans for patients with varying diopters, corneal conditions and age groups, Dr. Chen Xiaobei’s team has comprehensively upgraded its full lineup of refractive technologies, with three mainstream cutting-edge treatments fully operational: next-generation robotic SMILE Pro, Full Light Sculpt and EVO+ ICL (V5) lens implantation.



Up to now, the hospital has completed over 1,000 robotic SMILE Pro procedures, more than 1,500 Full Light Sculpt treatments and over 100 EVO+ ICL (V5) implantations. The full coverage of myopia correction technologies resolves diverse vision problems, bringing state-of-the-art ophthalmic care to every patient with myopia.


Peak College Graduate Myopia Correction Season Arrives; Exclusive Green Channel Helps Students Realize Their Dreams


The annual peak period for college graduates to undergo myopia correction is in full swing, with numerous recent graduates flooding the hospital for eye examinations and surgery consultations. The master’s and doctoral refractive team led by Director Chen Xiaobei operates at full capacity daily, with tight schedules for consultations and surgeries.


To fully support students pursuing their career goals, Dongguan Aier Eye Hospital has launched a dedicated Green Channel for college graduates seeking myopia correction, offering comprehensive support for a seamless glasses-free transformation:


✅ Complimentary full set of preoperative eye exams plus exclusive surgery subsidies for students
✅ Expedited report delivery for all detailed refractive preoperative assessments
✅ One-on-one consultations with Dr. Chen Xiaobei’s team for personalized surgical planning
✅ Dedicated post-operative follow-up appointments to support full recovery

Friendly Reminder


Preoperative full eye examinations are required prior to myopia surgery, and sufficient recovery time should be reserved in advance. Students applying for police academies or flight attendant programs are advised to schedule hospital evaluations as early as possible to avoid scheduling congestion right before physical examinations, which may delay their plans.


Surpassing 1,000 successful cases marks a milestone in technological refinement; delivering affordable care to all embodies the original aspiration of medical practitioners. With a fully upgraded portfolio of refractive treatments and three flagship technologies thriving in clinical practice, Dr. Chen Xiaobei’s Refractive Team consistently adopts international cutting-edge techniques to provide one-stop comprehensive myopia correction solutions.
