Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital is a large-scale comprehensive tertiary hospital donated by Mr. Run Run Shaw, a well-known industrialist in Hong Kong, and built by the Zhejiang Provincial Government. In 2006, the hospital passed the review of the International Federation for Hospital Accreditation, becoming the first public hospital in Chinese mainland to pass JCI accreditation, and has passed the JCI review with high scores for many years. JCI is recognized worldwide as the standard for medical services and represents the highest level of hospital service and hospital management. It can be seen that the Shaw Hospital has a first-class standard of medical safety and management.
The Department of Ophthalmology of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital was founded by Professor Yao Yufeng, and is now a key innovative discipline in Zhejiang Province and a doctoral degree awarding unit in ophthalmology at Zhejiang University. Professor Yao Yufeng is an internationally renowned expert in corneal diseases, and the corneal transplantation he founded is internationally known as Yao's corneal transplantation, and has been compiled into the American ophthalmologist textbook by the international academic community, and has profound achievements in the field of corneal disease research and clinical diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, the corneal disease specialty is also the ace specialty here.
Refractive specialty is also one of the key disciplines of the ophthalmology center, but this is largely due to the fact that the hospital is equipped with a number of internationally advanced ophthalmic professional equipment, such as the German Zeiss full femtosecond laser system, the German Zeiss ultra-high-definition front and rear joint OCT and other instruments. These instruments are sufficient to carry out mainstream myopia surgeries in China, such as LASIK, ReLEx Smile, and ICL corneal stromal lens implantation. In terms of the strength of doctors, although the attending doctors of refractive surgery in the hospital are not top experts in this field, their academic qualifications are all master's degree or above, and with the strong platform of the hospital, the doctors have been trained in as many as 10,000 cases of surgery and are very proficient in the surgical process.
Compared with the top two hospitals on the list, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital has a more prominent treatment environment and is one of the best public hospitals in Hangzhou. Its ophthalmology center is located on the 2nd floor of Building 3 of the hospital, and the overall environment is simple and clean, without the noisy and crowded feeling of Zhejiang No. 2 Ophthalmology.
In terms of fees, the fees at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital are not much different from those of the first two hospitals. It should be noted that it is best for patients to avoid weekend hours when making online appointments, as some special eye examination rooms in the hospital are closed on weekends and cannot do a full set of preliminary examinations. Patients who cannot undergo semi-femtosecond or full-femtosecond surgery after the preliminary examination (such as patients with ultra-high myopia above 1200 degrees or low to moderate myopia with too thin corneas) can choose ICL lens implantation surgery, which costs between 32,000 and 36,000 yuan. ICL surgery is a procedure in which a delicate ultra-thin lens is implanted in the eye, and since it is an "additive" procedure, the lens can be removed at any time if there is a problem, and it can be considered to have advantages that cannot be compared with conventional laser surgery. However, since it does not belong to the category of laser myopia correction surgery, it will not be discussed in detail in this article.
