Dongguan Aier Retinal Trauma Department: Redefining Complex Retinal Surgery Standards with “Speed, Precision, and Stability”

Mr. Lin, 24, suffers from over 1000 degrees of myopia and previously experienced retinal detachment due to high myopia. Two years ago, he underwent bilateral retinal detachment surgery, with each eye taking over two hours to treat. When his left eye developed retinal detachment again, he sought treatment at Dongguan Aier Eye Hospital. President Wang Hu completed the complex vitrectomy procedure in just half an hour. After the procedure, Mr. Lin couldn't help but marvel: “Previously, surgery on one eye at another hospital took over two hours. I never imagined it could be so fast and so steady!”

This sentiment echoes among many patients who have undergone surgery at Dongguan Aier's Retinal Disease Department. Mr. Shen, a 51-year-old diabetic retinopathy patient, similarly praised the doctors' exceptional skill after his vitrectomy: “The shorter time meant less agony and much greater peace of mind.”

The “speed” patients describe stems from Dongguan Aier Retina and Trauma Department's relentless pursuit of excellence—shorter surgery times signify more advanced and precise techniques, smoother procedures, minimal tissue damage, faster recovery, and a palpable sense of reassurance.

So where does this “speed” come from?

Four Pillars Behind Accelerating Complex Retinal Surgery

· Surgeon's Skill: Mastering “Speed, Precision, and Stability” in Millimeter-Level Operations

All efficiency stems from accumulated expertise.

As the department's lead surgeon, Director Wang Hu has dedicated over two decades to retinal diseases, specializing in high-risk Level IV retinal surgeries. He secured second place in the national vitrectomy surgery competition and is frequently invited to share insights at authoritative industry platforms. What patients most admire is his unbroken record of over 10,000 surgeries with zero complaints—a reassuring presence for those facing complex eye conditions.

In his hands, “speed” is the calm confidence born of deep familiarity and precise anticipation. His surgical precision and efficiency stem from an intimate understanding of ocular anatomy and continuous refinement of surgical pathways. 

·Teamwork: A Seamless Symphony Under the Operating Light

A highly efficient surgery resembles the precise symphony of a well-trained team. Professionalism and seamless collaboration manifest in every detail:

Retinal surgery involves an array of intricate instruments. Before the procedure, nurses and the lead surgeon engage in thorough communication to prepare all specialized tools according to the plan, meticulously calibrating each one to ensure they are “ready for action and performing at peak capacity.”

During surgery, comprehensive support ensures seamless execution. While the surgeon focuses intently on the microscopic world under the microscope, the assistant and nurses meticulously hand instruments, adjust parameters in real time, and closely monitor vital signs—everything proceeds methodically, allowing the surgeon to concentrate fully.

An efficient surgical team is the foundation of speed and the ultimate safeguard of safety.

·Technical Equipment: Ensuring Precision Diagnosis and Treatment Throughout the Process

We firmly believe that cutting-edge medical expertise requires the empowerment of advanced technology. Our department focuses on the forefront of retinal disease diagnosis and treatment, tackling the toughest challenges to establish a regional center of excellence in retinal care.

Equipped with internationally benchmarked gold-standard diagnostic and therapeutic systems, we provide robust referral support and technical assurance for precise patient care: confocal laser fundus angiography systems, Optos ultra-widefield non-mydriatic fundus cameras, OCT vascular imaging systems, DIC imaging systems, Humphrey visual field analyzers, YAG laser treatment system (for floaters), 532nm laser system, IQ577 micro-pulse laser system, and more, enabling comprehensive support from diagnosis to intervention.

The department's capability to efficiently and precisely perform complex retinal surgeries relies on its significant advantages in vitrectomy procedures:

Minimally Invasive Approach: Routinely performs internationally mainstream 25G/27G ultra-micro vitrectomy, featuring finer incisions, reduced tissue trauma, faster patient recovery, and enhanced comfort.

High-Definition Visual Field: Imported high-end microscopes integrated with high-speed vitrectomy machines deliver bright, stable, and three-dimensional surgical views, leaving no subtle pathology undetected.

Intelligent Surgical Navigation: The introduction of the Zeiss ARTEVO 800 3D Digital Navigation System achieves integrated “4K + 3D + Real-time OCT Navigation.” Intraoperative OCT functions like “X-ray vision” for surgeons, significantly enhancing precision and safety in complex procedures.

Comprehensive Care: Building a Warm Guardian for “Lifetime Eye Health”

In our view, a successful surgery is merely the beginning of health protection.

Before and after procedures, physician assistants consistently visit patients' bedsides, alleviating anxiety and unease with plain language. A smile and a reassuring “Don't worry” serve as the best medicine for anxiety. The department operates a 24-hour on-call system to ensure prompt response to any emergencies.

At Dongguan Aier Retinal Disease Department, patients receive lifelong, dynamic eye health management services through integrated care spanning “preoperative – intraoperative – postoperative – long-term follow-up.” From admission, we establish one-on-one case files, develop personalized treatment plans, provide preoperative reassurance visits, offer postoperative recovery guidance, and maintain long-term regular follow-ups and consultations—creating a complete service loop.
