How to choose
How to choose a ophthalmology hospital in Shanghai
- Cataract or retinal disease: a dedicated eye hospital offers sub-specialist clinics under one roof.
- Orbital, eyelid or facial-related eye problems: consider departments with oculoplastic and maxillofacial expertise.
- Expect re-measurement on arrival. Lens calculations are always repeated locally before surgery.
- Short stays are common. Many eye procedures need only one to two weeks in Shanghai.
Grade 3A is the highest level in China's three-tier hospital classification. A grade describes the hospital as a whole, so Horcare matches the department and subspecialty to the diagnosis first. What a Grade 3A hospital is.
