The "Light of the Sea" academic conference on Ophthalmology and optometry in early 2025 and the 13th Academic Seminar on Caring for Myopia and Smiling and the Vision Science and Technology Exchange Conference were recently held in Shanghai. Experts in many fields jointly discuss the frontiers of ophthalmology and vision science, and the innovation of myopic surgery and presbyopia surgery has become a hot spot.
The optometry team led by Professor Zhou Xingtao of the Eye, Otolaryngology Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, has been working on myopia laser surgery, myopia endoscopic surgery, presbyopia surgery, keratoconus cross-linking surgery, etc., constantly innovative technology and developing new surgical methods, and has completed more than 260,000 femtosecond lasers in a single center since the international report of femtosecond surgery, making it the leading hospital in terms of myopia surgery volume in the world. Professor Zhou Xingtao said, "Behind the quantity is the pursuit of quality control and excellence. We always take the long-term interests of patients as the priority. We must do a good job in the whole process, including comprehensive and careful inspection, optimized program design, standardized operation and long-term follow-up, and must be worthy of the trust of patients."
In addition to femtosecond myopia surgery, in the field of ICL eye endoscopy with high myopia, the Eye otorhinolaryngology hospital has for three consecutive years used artificial intelligence big data to assist research on arch height prediction to promote continuous safety and quality assurance. On the basis of the international maximum ICL operation volume of a single hospital, we have implemented one-step ICL implantation and personalized directional implantation internationally. Clinical research innovation as a visual escort.
In recent years, fusion presbyopia (presbyopia) surgery has brought clear and free vision to people with myopia and presbyopia, and patients with farsightedness and presbyopia and metropia have also benefited from fusion vision technology. A group of experts such as Zhou Xingtao, Wang Xiaoying, Yao Peijun and Xu Ye presented comprehensive solutions for refractive problems of all ages at the meeting, which attracted wide attention from fellow doctors.
Keratoconus, which is characterized by abnormally high astigmatism, is a "minority" eye disease with a prevalence rate of about one in 5000. The optometry team with a high sense of responsibility for this group, with the cooperation of experts such as Zhou Xingtao, Huang Jinhai and Zhang Xiaoyu, has implemented rapid cross-epithelial crosslinking for thousands of keratoconus patients for more than 10 years to help patients avoid the trouble of corneal transplantation. The paper report on long-term surgical safety and stability, reported at the "Light of the Sea" keratoconus forum, allows more people to see the prospect of conus high-quality quality treatment.
The full femtosecond surgical lens has been "abandoned" as a treasures, the surface applied "corneal surface mirror", the thickened and strengthened "corneal level mirror", the remodeled and modified composite mirror, etc., under the exploration of experts such as Zhao Jing, Li Meiyan, Liu Shengtao, some difficult corneal dystrophy, corneal dilatation and other corneal diseases, Some patients with high myopia, ultra-high myopia and thin corneal myopia who are limited by corneal laser and eye endoscopy can enjoy clear vision and regain sports, confrontation and other sports work, and some young people thus achieve their aspirations to fulfill their dreams and join the army.
The conference held a number of important ceremonies, Including the launch of the initiative of ophthalmic quality control experts in 2025, the issuance of the 2025 ICL Quality Year Initiative, the promotion of the project of the Myopia Precision Prevention and Treatment Clinical Demonstration Center of the Chinese National Health Association, the release of the standard of "Standardized Training of corneal refractive lens Extraction Surgeons", and the Expert Consensus on corneal Topographic map Screening before laser corneal refractive surgery in China (2024) "Chinese Expert Consensus on Optometry and monocular Vision Simulation before laser corneal refractive Surgery (2023)" was released, "Corneal refractive lens extraction -- SMILE Operation Guide "Presbyopia" "Keratoconus" new book release, "Minimally invasive full femtosecond surgery series clinical quality cooperation unit" "PRESBYOND Clinical Training and patient Education Science Center" award, "China Eye health refractive talent professional ability training project" launch and "3D navigation digital surgery Center annual New progress" release.
