Patient reviews
“The pre-op screening at Zhongshan Eye was the most thorough I’ve had — fundus AI, corneal topography, dry-eye workup. Procedure was under two hours, both eyes 20/15 by the next morning. $1,800 vs $5,200 quoted in California.”
“ICL implantation at Aier Eye — high myopia (-11.5D) where LASIK wasn’t safe. Same-day discharge, 20/20 next morning. The pre-op anterior segment OCT and ECC count were the most thorough I’ve had.”
