In mid-2017, Yu Gang, the former director of the ophthalmology department of Beijing Children's Hospital, announced that he would step out of the system and officially establish his own high-end children's ophthalmology brand. At a time when the government is gradually relaxing and even supporting private clinics to enter fields with weak medical resources such as ophthalmology, Yu Gang's entrepreneurship has set off a lot of waves in the industry, so that Meihe Ophthalmology has received enough attention at the beginning of its birth. Thanks to the rich experience of the founder and Wu Qian (co-founder) and other physicians, Meihe Ophthalmology is at the leading level in the diagnosis and treatment of common eye diseases in children such as strabismus amblyopia, nystagmus, and dacryocystitis, and the implantation of ptosis materials for young children has reached the international level. In addition to the Xizhimen store that is currently open, the branch clinic of Meihe Ophthalmology in Chaoyang District has also started construction, and it has expanded rapidly with the positioning of "large specialty and small comprehensive".
As a frequent and common disease in children's eye diseases, the incidence of strabismus in children is about 1%, which refers to a class of ophthalmic diseases in which the visual axis of the other eye deviates from the fixation target when one eye fixes on the target, which is divided into exotropia, esotropia, congenital strabismus, paralytic strabismus and other conditions. In cases such as intermittent exotropia, surgery should be performed as soon as possible before the dominant exotropia has not formed and the monovision function of both eyes has not been completely destroyed. Yu Gang and Wu Qian have rich experience in the diagnosis and treatment of children's strabismus, and can be said to be the current authorities in the relevant fields in China. In view of the particularity of strabismus surgery, Meihe Ophthalmology has adopted adjustable suture technology, which has the biggest advantage that the eye position can be adjusted by pulling the adjustment ring during and after surgery, and has a better treatment effect for various complex strabismus diseases and various extraocular muscle syndromes, and the success rate of the operation is "more than 90%" (Meihe official statement). The price of strabismus surgery in Meihe Ophthalmology is 12,000 yuan for one eye and 15,000 yuan for both eyes, excluding the expert registration fee, preoperative examination fee and rehabilitation training fee. It is worth noting that strabismus is likely to cause amblyopia, for strabismus amblyopia, if you rashly wear myopia glasses and other methods for correction, the effect is not good and may deepen the symptoms, at this time you should consult a professional ophthalmologist (not an ordinary optometrist) as soon as possible to determine the treatment plan, because although the theory of amblyopia is 12 years old at the latest treatment age, but 2-4 years old is the golden period of amblyopia treatment, so early detection and early treatment is the primary criterion for amblyopia treatment.
Network training is a visual training program developed by Meihe Ophthalmology, which has a good effect on surgical recovery and adjustment of strabismus, amblyopia, nystagmus, congenital cataract and so on. Compared with the traditional children's visual training, the training has been greatly improved in terms of content and interest, the child is not easy to wander, and can be connected to the database through the network, and can also be trained at home, which is convenient for patients from other places. Visual function training requires two pairs of red and blue glasses, but some patients need to wait until their vision recovers to a certain level before wearing glasses for training.
Overall, despite the slogan of "high-end does not equal high price", the fees of Meihe Ophthalmology are still at a medium and high level, and Yu Gang's registration fee is 400 yuan, which is much higher than the price of the expert number in public hospitals. However, Meihe Ophthalmology does have great advantages in terms of doctor level, service attitude, service quality, environment, etc., especially in the field of pediatric ophthalmology, which is relatively niche and complex. In addition, the official website of Meihe Ophthalmology contains a lot of introductions and precautions for different eye diseases, which are detailed and basically without exaggerated publicity, so parents may wish to check them before the consultation.
