Where International Patients Should Go for Eye Surgery & Vision Correction in Shanghai

Shanghai's Eye Care Advantage

Shanghai is a regional hub for refractive surgery and complex ophthalmology. LASIK and SMILE procedures cost roughly 40–60% less than in the US or Western Europe, with cutting-edge equipment and experienced surgeons. Cataract surgery with premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) is another major draw, often completed in a single short stay.

Tier 1: National ophthalmology center

Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University — One of China's most prestigious eye hospitals, a national key specialty in ophthalmology. It leads in complex cataract and vitreoretinal surgery, glaucoma, corneal disease and pediatric ophthalmology. International patients can access English coordination for consultations and surgery planning.

Tier 2: International hospitals

Jiahui International Hospital Eye Center — Offers comprehensive eye care with international-standard equipment: LASIK, SMILE, ICL implantation, cataract surgery with premium IOLs, and dry-eye management. Transparent pricing, English-speaking doctors and direct billing with international insurers. Shanghai East International Medical Center — Provides fast-track pre-operative assessment and refractive surgery services for expatriates and travelers.
