Shenzhen Sigma Lin Shunchao Eye Hospital: An International Gateway for Premium Ophthalmic Care in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

I. Hospital Overview

Shenzhen Sigma Lin Shunchao Eye Hospital is a premium private tertiary ophthalmic specialty hospital founded by renowned Hong Kong ophthalmologist Professor Lin Shunchao. It is part of the Sigma International Eye Group (a Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed enterprise). Positioned as a “Precision Ophthalmology, International Standards” institution, the hospital specializes in complex eye disease treatment and premium refractive surgery, ranking among the most influential ophthalmic specialty medical institutions in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

The hospital is located in the Coastal City commercial district on Haide 3rd Road, Nanshan District, Shenzhen (Main Campus), adjacent to the Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Base. It offers convenient transportation and a premium environment. With a total floor area exceeding 20,000 square meters, the hospital offers 150 beds (including VIP wards), handles over 300,000 outpatient and emergency visits annually, and performs more than 15,000 surgical procedures (over 40% of which are complex Grade III and IV surgeries). Its comprehensive services cover all ophthalmic fields, including myopia correction, cataract surgery, retinal diseases, glaucoma, and pediatric ophthalmology.

The hospital brings together an international team of ophthalmic experts led by Professor Lam Shun-chiu, including dual-licensed specialists from Hong Kong and mainland China, members of the Ophthalmology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and members of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO). The team has collectively performed over 100,000 high-difficulty ophthalmic surgeries, published more than 50 SCI papers, and participated in the formulation of national/regional guidelines such as the national and regional guidelines such as the Chinese Myopia Prevention and Control Guidelines and the Hong Kong Ophthalmic Clinical Practice Standards. It serves as a core platform for ophthalmic technology transfer and academic exchange in South China.

II. Hospital Technical Advantages: Cutting-Edge International Technologies for Precise Solutions to Complex Eye Conditions

Shenzhen Sigma Lin Shunchao Eye Hospital centers its mission on “building the hospital through technology and strengthening it through innovation.” It has established internationally leading technical advantages in myopia correction, cataract surgery, retinal diseases, glaucoma, pediatric ophthalmology, and other fields:

1. Myopia Correction: A “Model of Safety” Covering All Surgical Approaches

• The Refractive Surgery Department performs all procedures, including SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction), FS-LASIK (Flapless LASIK), ICL lens implantation (for extreme myopia correction), and corneal cross-linking (for keratoconus treatment). Annual surgeries exceed 8,000 cases, with a 10-year postoperative satisfaction rate of 98%.

• Pioneered “Personalized Corneal Topography-Guided Femtosecond Surgery,” integrating OCT and AI algorithms to precisely match corneal morphology, yielding postoperative visual quality (night vision, contrast sensitivity) superior to industry averages;

• Equipped with South China's first “VisuMax Femtosecond Laser Corneal Refractive Treatment System” and “ICL Lens Implantation Phacoemulsification System,” achieving surgical accuracy <5μm (international standard: 10μm).

2. Cataract: Minimally Invasive & Precision “South China Benchmark”

• Annual cataract surgeries exceed 5,000 cases, performing phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation (minimally invasive 2.2mm incision) and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) with an over 99.9% success rate;

• Specializes in complex cataract cases (e.g., hard-nucleus cataracts, coexisting glaucoma/diabetes), offering advanced options like trifocal IOLs and extended-depth-of-focus IOLs, achieving over 95% spectacle-free outcomes post-surgery;

• Implements a “preoperative OCT IOL power calculation + intraoperative real-time navigation” system, with IOL power error <0.5D (international standard: 1.0D).

3. Retinal Diseases: A Stronghold Against Complex and Severe Conditions

• The Retinal Diseases Department handles over 100,000 outpatient visits annually, performing more than 3,000 surgeries, including retinal detachment repair, macular hole repair, and anti-VEGF injections (for diabetic retinopathy and AMD);

• Pioneering application of cutting-edge technologies, including Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) and Intravitreal Chromophoric Angiography (ICGA), enables early, precise diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration (AMD);

• Equipped with a “27G/25G minimally invasive vitrectomy system,” reducing surgical trauma by 50% and elevating the reattachment rate for complex retinal detachments to 92% (compared to the international average of 85%).

4. Glaucoma: An International Model for Personalized Management

• The Glaucoma Department has established a multidimensional assessment system integrating intraocular pressure, visual field, and optic nerve fiber layer thickness, achieving an early diagnosis rate exceeding 80%.

• Offers minimally invasive treatments including Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) and glaucoma drainage valve implantation, achieving stable IOP control at target levels in 90% of patients;

• Leads development of a novel AI-powered glaucoma diagnostic system, achieving 95% diagnostic accuracy through optic nerve image analysis (world-leading).

5. Pediatric Ophthalmology: A Humanistic Model of Comprehensive Care

• Annual pediatric outpatient volume exceeds 50,000 visits, offering services including strabismus and amblyopia correction, myopia control (orthokeratology/defocus lenses), and treatment for congenital cataracts/glaucoma;

• Pioneered a “Gamified Vision Training” system using VR devices to enhance pediatric compliance, achieving a 90% effective rate in strabismus correction.

• Established a “0-18 Year Myopia Prevention and Control Registry.” Combining orthokeratology (OK lenses) with low-concentration atropine, it controls myopia progression in children at a 75% rate (national average: 60%).

III. Hospital Specialties: Nationally Recognized and Internationally Certified
