On May 23, the "2026 Beijing Cornea New Technology Academic Conference and Maikeshi Presbyopia Surgery Training Course" hosted by Beijing Ming Vision & Ophthalmology was held at the Capital Hotel.

This conference was led by two senior experts in the field of refractive surgery in China, Professor Zhou Yuehua and Professor Li Ying, and attracted more than one hundred ophthalmology colleagues from across the country. Closely following the latest progress in refractive surgery, the conference focused on key and difficult issues in clinical practice, and carried out in-depth discussion and exchange on the new minimally invasive SMILE Pro technology, personalized laser correction for presbyopia, as well as difficult cases such as high myopia surgery with thin corneas. The conference lasted three days. It offered not only rich theoretical training, but also observation and discussion sessions. On the final day, it also provided doctors with hands-on SMILE surgery practice, helping participating physicians fully master the key points of cutting-edge technology and consolidate their foundation in clinical operation.
I. Led by Two Doctoral Supervisors, the New SMILE Pro Continues to Be Upgraded
Since May 2025, under the leadership of Professor Zhou Yuehua and Professor Li Ying, Beijing Ming Vision & Ophthalmology has carried out the new minimally invasive SMILE Pro surgery step by step. It has not only strived for excellence in surgical operation, with the surgical volume approaching 6,000 cases, but has also conducted in-depth observation and research in the academic field. The clinical and early visual quality observations of the new minimally invasive SMILE Pro conducted by the team show that, compared with conventional SMILE 3.0 and SMILE 4.0, the new minimally invasive SMILE Pro MAX and SMILE Pro offer better clinical predictability, more accurate astigmatism correction, and a significant advantage in postoperative visual quality.
As a ZEISS Refractive Surgery Training Center and a new minimally invasive SMILE Pro Training Center, Ming Vision & Ophthalmology has held eight sessions of SMILE technology training, sharing without reservation the characteristics, difficulties, operating standards and full-process surgical management of the procedure.

Professor Zhou Yuehua delivers a keynote report
At this conference, Professor Zhou Yuehua presented the latest technology of the new minimally invasive SMILE Pro MAX, focusing on how the ZEISS Refractive Workplace, a digital and intelligent refractive workstation, optimizes workflow efficiency through its connectivity and iris registration functions, and shared his practical experience. He noted that the connectivity function enables seamless data transmission between devices, greatly reducing waiting time and data entry time; iris registration can automatically calibrate eye rotation and centration, improving the accuracy of astigmatism correction. The combination of the two drives the new SMILE surgery toward continuous development in intelligence and precision.
II. Professor Li Ying Studio: Frontier Insights on Presbyopia Laser Surgery
Ming Vision & Ophthalmology is a one-stop, full-procedure, precise and personalized myopia surgery platform, focusing on vision improvement surgeries that cross the two disciplines of optometry and ophthalmology, including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia and cataract. With the changes and development of society, people with both myopia and presbyopia have become a key group requiring urgent attention. The Maikeshi presbyopia laser surgery fulfills the wish of people entering the presbyopia stage to regain youthful vision. Since 2015, Professor Li Ying has been performing presbyopia laser surgery to help clients aged 40 and above, and has accumulated extensive experience in clinical plan design.

Professor Li Ying shares insights and answers questions
At the conference, Professor Li Ying shared the presentation "Clinical Practice of Presbyopia Laser Correction Surgery". In her speech she deeply analyzed the difficulty of presbyopia surgery, namely the personalized design of presbyopia treatment. For patients with age-related accommodative insufficiency combined with refractive error, it is necessary to make a reasonable option and design among the bilateral myopic plan, the monovision plan and the optimized monovision plan, taking into account each person's ocular conditions and the needs for distance, intermediate and near vision. At the same time, standardized and comprehensive preoperative examinations, refraction and comfort trial wear are also the keys to achieving good results.

Tao Ye, Executive President of the Jianguomen Branch of Ming Vision & Ophthalmology, Jia Shiwei, Senior Optometry Technician of the Jianguomen Branch of Ming Vision & Ophthalmology, and Guo Yun, Director of the Reception Center of the Jianguomen Branch of Ming Vision & Ophthalmology, respectively gave excellent on-site presentations on the standardized operation of the Maikeshi presbyopia surgery equipment, preoperative refraction and trial wear for presbyopia surgery, and patient communication.
III. The Ming Vision & Ophthalmology Solution for High Myopia with Thin Cornea
A normal cornea is an aspheric structure that is thin in the center and thick in the periphery. The average central corneal thickness in Asians is about 530 microns, and a cornea thinner than 500 microns can be considered a thin cornea. For patients with thin corneas, Ming Vision & Ophthalmology proposes that when choosing the refractive surgery method, consideration should be given to the patient's ocular conditions, personal wishes, and occupational and lifestyle needs, and that thin-flap femtosecond LASIK, implantable lens surgery, or corneal laser surgery combined with corneal cross-linking reinforcement should be appropriately adopted to help patients give up glasses.
Thin-flap femtosecond LASIK is suitable for people with high and ultra-high myopia and relatively thin corneas, and is a type of personalized femtosecond-assisted LASIK. During the surgery, Ming Vision & Ophthalmology creates a corneal flap with a thickness of 90 μm and uses the VISX S4-IR laser equipment, which consumes less corneal tissue, to maximize the saving of corneal ablation thickness, saving an average of 5 to 7 μm per 100 degrees. Meanwhile, for patients with thin corneas who do not necessarily need laser surgery, Ming Vision & Ophthalmology also fully carries out implantable lens surgery for myopia, and mainstream lenses such as Longjing and ICL-V5 are available for patients to choose.

Zhang Jing, Assistant to the Chief President of Ming Vision & Ophthalmology, shared the presentation "New Advances in the Diagnosis of Keratoconus and the Choice of Indications for Refractive Surgery Combined with Cross-Linking" on site. For keratoconus patients identified during the screening before corneal laser surgery, corneal cross-linking treatment can effectively control the condition and prevent further deterioration of the disease. For myopic patients with high myopia or relatively thin corneas, laser myopia surgery combined with corneal cross-linking reinforcement can effectively prevent corneal ectasia, and irregular astigmatism is also effectively suppressed, thereby further stabilizing long-term postoperative vision.

Since its establishment, Beijing Ming Vision & Ophthalmology has regularly held new technology academic conferences and various training courses for refractive surgeons, technicians, nurses and other staff. Under the guidance of Professor Zhou Yuehua and Professor Li Ying, it has formed a complete refractive surgery training and teaching system.
The year 2026 marks the 15th anniversary of the founding of Beijing Ming Vision & Ophthalmology. Ming Vision & Ophthalmology has always adhered to the integrated development path of clinical care, teaching and research, and is committed to building a shared one-stop full-procedure myopia surgery platform, breaking down technical barriers, working with ophthalmology colleagues across the country to create precise and personalized myopia technology, raising clinical standards, and joining hands with all the striving forces in the industry to make unremitting efforts for a bright future for China's refractive surgery cause.
