Boao Lecheng Aier Eye Hospital: An International Ophthalmic Healthcare Benchmark on the Free Trade Port

I. Hospital Overview

Boao Lecheng Aier Eye Hospital is an international, intelligent ophthalmic specialty hospital strategically developed by Aier Eye Hospital Group (China's first publicly listed medical institution with over 700 ophthalmic facilities worldwide) within the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone in Hainan. Leveraging Lecheng's pioneering policy advantages (special permits for medical services, research, and operations), the hospital integrates Aier's global medical resources and technological expertise. Positioned as an “International Ophthalmic Medical Center,” it is dedicated to providing high-quality, full-lifecycle eye care services to domestic and international patients. Simultaneously, it drives cutting-edge technological innovation and clinical translation in ophthalmology, contributing to the development of Hainan Free Trade Port's health industry.

Located in the core area of the Lecheng Pilot Zone (see address below), adjacent to Haikou Meilan International Airport, the hospital spans over 20,000 square meters with 150 beds. It features internationally certified laminar flow operating rooms, advanced ophthalmic diagnostic and treatment equipment, and a multilingual service team. Annual patient volume exceeds 100,000, with over 20% being international and Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan patients.

II. Technological Advantages: Leading the Eye Health Revolution with Cutting-Edge Science

Leveraging the pilot zone's special policies, Boao Lvcheng Aier Eye Hospital pioneers the introduction of multiple internationally advanced ophthalmic technologies and therapies not yet approved or available domestically, establishing its technical leadership in South China:

• Specialized Medical Breakthroughs: Approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), the hospital conducts clinical applications of innovative international drugs and medical devices, such as novel anti-VEGF medications and gene therapies (e.g., AAV therapy for hereditary retinal diseases), enabling patients to access global innovations simultaneously.

• Precision Refractive Surgery: We offer procedures including SMILE 3.0, FS-LASIK, and the Amaris 1050RS all-laser SMART, combined with personalized corneal topography/wavefront aberration guidance. This delivers “eye-specific” surgical plans, achieving internationally leading postoperative visual outcomes.

• • Diagnosis and Treatment of Complex Eye Conditions: For challenging cataracts (e.g., hard nuclei, dislocations), glaucoma (refractory high intraocular pressure), and retinal diseases (diabetic retinopathy, macular holes), we employ femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma drainage devices (e.g., iStent), and vitreoretinal microsurgery (23G/25G) to achieve high surgical success rates.

• Myopia Prevention and Control for Children and Adolescents: Implementing a comprehensive “screening-intervention-tracking” prevention system using orthokeratology (OK lenses), defocus-inducing spectacles, low-concentration atropine combined with digital monitoring systems (such as visual function training software and biometric axial length measurement devices) to effectively slow myopia progression.

III. Specialized Departments: Comprehensive Eye Health Care for All Ages

The hospital focuses on high-frequency patient needs and international medical trends, establishing eight specialized departments to deliver “specialized care for specific conditions with precision diagnostics and treatment”:

1. Refractive Surgery Department: Among China's first certified “SMILE Demonstration Centers,” performing over 5,000 procedures annually with 99% patient satisfaction.

2. Cataract and Presbyopia Specialty: Equipped with the LenSx femtosecond laser cataract surgery system, offering multifocal/trifocal IOL implantation to address combined presbyopia and myopia.

3. Glaucoma Specialty: Performs minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) and drainage valve implantation, with particular expertise in personalized treatment for complex glaucoma (e.g., neovascular, congenital).

4. Retinal Disease Specialty: Utilizes Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) and IOL Master 700 optical biometer. Expertise in minimally invasive treatments for diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration.

5. Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus/Amblyopia Specialty: Utilizes visual motion nystagmography (VNG) and binocular vision simulators to perform strabismus correction surgery, amblyopia therapy, and pediatric refractive correction, aiming to reduce myopia rates among adolescents.

6. Ocular Surface and Corneal Diseases Department: Performs corneal transplantation (penetrating/lamellar), comprehensive dry eye treatment (OPT intense pulsed light, meibomian gland massage), and corneal collagen cross-linking (for keratoconus).

7. Medical Optometry & Eyewear Center: Offers comprehensive medical eye exams, orthokeratology/RGP lens fittings, and premium eyewear customization. Equipped with digital slit lamps, comprehensive refractometers, and other precision diagnostic tools.

8. Oculoplastic & Lacrimal Specialty: Performs eyelid deformity correction (double eyelid surgery, ptosis repair), lacrimal duct recanalization, and artificial eye socket implantation, prioritizing both function and aesthetics.

IV. Departmental Structure: Comprehensive Service Support

Beyond specialized departments, the hospital maintains foundational units including General Ophthalmology, Ocular Trauma, Anesthesiology, Radiology (equipped with DR and CT), and Laboratory Medicine (ISO 15189 certified), forming a closed-loop “examination-diagnosis-treatment-rehabilitation” system. The Anesthesiology Department supports pain-free ophthalmic procedures (e.g., pediatric chalazion removal, geriatric cataract surgery), while the Radiology Department provides specialized ocular CT/MRI scans to deliver precise diagnostic support for complex cases.

V. Medical Equipment: World-Class Devices Empowering Precision Care
