Vision & Eye Alignment
Laser correction, implantable lenses and dedicated alignment services offer different paths for different vision problems in Shanghai.
This page covers two different vision concerns. Refractive errors — short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism — happen when the eye's shape keeps light from focusing sharply on the retina, and are commonly addressed with laser correction (such as SMILE or LASIK) or implantable lenses. Eye-alignment issues (strabismus) are when the eyes do not point in the same direction, which can affect depth perception; they follow a separate specialist pathway and are not corrected by refractive surgery.
A substantial track record in vision correction.
Shanghai has become a destination worth considering for vision correction. Fudan University's Eye and ENT Hospital reported more than 260,000 SMILE procedures by May 2025 and introduced SMILE Pro on the VISUMAX 800 system (Source: Shanghai International Services, May 2025). That combines an established surgical track record with access to newer technology — a concrete reason to consider a vision-correction assessment in Shanghai. Companion does not endorse any single provider. For eye-alignment concerns, the consultation follows a different specialist pathway; these refractive-surgery figures do not describe strabismus outcomes. Tell us whether your priority is reducing dependence on glasses or addressing eye alignment, and we'll help identify the right consultation and clarify the examinations, costs and follow-up involved.
