The present situation of preventing and controlling myopia among Chinese teenagers is critical, and presbyopia caused by aging poses a severe problem. The National Eye Health Plan for the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) proposes to further establish a high-standard and convenient eye health service system, providing care for patients of all ages. 

HOYA Vision Care, a leader in myopia management for children, is more determined than ever to expand its business in China. HOYA Vision Care CEO Alexandre Montague has emphasized that the company not only contributes to global research on myopia but also offers substantial support to local myopia management professionals in China. 

He said HOYA will help conduct training for grassroots ophthalmologists and explore solutions to optimize eye care management through collaboration with local partners.

Professor Zhikuan Yang, vice president of AIER Eye Hospital Group and a PhD supervisor at Central South University's AIER School of Ophthalmology, introduced that AIER has made innovations in myopia management, talent cultivation, scientific research and extensive data management over the years.
