Vision correction in a short stay

Shanghai's refractive surgery centers run a streamlined timeline: comprehensive screening with corneal topography and OCT on day one, surgery within the following days, and a final review before departure. Most international patients complete the entire journey within one week.

Technologies and candidacy

SMILE and ICL are offered alongside LASIK and PRK at partner hospitals. The pre-operative exam determines which method suits your cornea and prescription; results are explained through 10-language interpretation, and you receive a written plan before any commitment.

Coordinated care, transparent cost

MedBridge matches you to a refractive surgery hospital in 1-2 working days and confirms appointments within 2 hours. Prices are typically 40-70% below comparable European and US centers, with 20+ international insurers supporting direct billing. WhatsApp (+86 138 1783 1623) or email [email protected].
