Yang Zhengfei

Doctor of Medicine, attending physician

Member of the Guangdong Provincial Myopia Prevention and Control Doctoral Publicity Team
Member of the Glaucoma Professional Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Eye Health Association
Senior Member of the Asian Branch of the International Academy of Orthokeratology (IAOA)

Dr. Yang received her Ph.D. in Optometry and Ophthalmology from the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University and completed systematic standardized training in ophthalmology at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. As an ophthalmologist, she has long focused on evidence-based, precision-oriented myopia prevention and control, management of complex refractive errors, and research on pediatric visual function development. Her clinical approach emphasizes data-driven, standardized, and individualized care, characterized by meticulous precision and continuous refinement.

With a strong research orientation, Dr. Yang has long dedicated herself to investigating cutting-edge mechanisms in myopia control and clinical applications of new technologies, establishing herself as a key research figure within her institution. She has been deeply involved in multiple national and provincial key research projects, including those funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, provincial and municipal natural science foundations, and major public health initiatives of the Health Commission. She has played a central role in several national multicenter clinical trials on low-concentration atropine, orthokeratology, and MiSight defocus soft contact lenses. Holding dual GCP research qualifications in pharmaceuticals and medical devices, she is a young expert in the Dongguan region who has been extensively involved in clinical studies on novel myopia control drugs and devices. She has published multiple high-impact papers as first or co-first author in internationally renowned SCI journals such as the British Journal of Ophthalmology, and has presented her latest research findings at major academic conferences both domestically and internationally, including the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the National Congress of the Chinese Ophthalmological Society.

Dr. Yang is committed to translating cutting-edge optometric technologies into clinical practice, integrating the latest international research findings and evidence-based data on myopia prevention into daily care. She actively participates in high-level academic exchanges in optometry both at home and abroad, with a focus on novel contact lens applications, corneal biomechanics analysis, anisometropia intervention, and combined optical and atropine-based myopia control strategies.

Dr. Yang Zhengfei specializes in advanced optometric research and precision clinical care, with core strengths in "evidence-based research-driven practice, data-precision myopia control, and rapid clinical translation of new technologies." Her clinical expertise focuses on precision myopia management, complex refractive error correction, pediatric visual function development, and common eye diseases, as detailed below:

Precision, Evidence-Based Myopia Prevention and Control in Children and Adolescents: Leveraging extensive experience from multiple national multicenter clinical trials, she excels in stepwise, evidence-based myopia intervention strategies. She is proficient in the precise parameter customization of various new defocus lenses, orthokeratology lenses, RGP lenses, and scleral lenses. She is particularly skilled in optimizing treatment plans for high-risk children who respond poorly to conventional control measures or experience rapid myopia progression and axial elongation. She adeptly applies combined low-concentration atropine and optical interventions for overlapping myopia control, using research data to support individualized long-term management.

Management of Complex Refractive Errors and Corneal Precision Screening: Based on her research background in corneal biomechanics and scleral morphology, she specializes in precise screening, follow-up, and intervention for irregular astigmatism, high anisometropia, and early subclinical keratoconus. She performs precise preoperative risk assessment for refractive surgery and is skilled in managing various complex corneal refractive issues, providing scientifically sound and safe corrective solutions for patients with challenging refractive conditions.

Pediatric Visual Function and Strabismus/Amblyopia Management: She focuses on the assessment of pediatric binocular visual function development and personalized training. For mild to moderate strabismus and amblyopia across different age groups, she employs detailed visual function assessments combined with individualized intervention strategies, emphasizing the restoration of binocular coordination and alignment with the child's visual development trajectory to achieve scientific, appropriate, and effective visual rehabilitation.

Standardized Diagnosis and Treatment of Common Eye Diseases: With comprehensive clinical ophthalmic capabilities, she is proficient in the standardized screening, diagnosis, and treatment of common eye diseases such as keratitis, glaucoma, and cataracts. She simultaneously addresses refractive issues and underlying ocular conditions in children and adolescents, offering one-stop, precision eye health management for all age groups.
