That day, Mr. Masashi Sawano focused on inspecting the functional layout, process design, and hardware and software facilities of the adolescent myopia prevention and control clinic of Ming Vision & Ophthalmology, and spoke highly of the professionalism and meticulousness of its work in adolescent myopia prevention and control. During his visit to the myopia surgery center, he stopped to observe every piece of equipment. Having visited many myopia centers before, he marveled at the fact that Ming Vision & Ophthalmology has brought together the world's most advanced equipment systems to provide one-stop precise and personalized technical solutions for people with myopia.

As a senior consultant in RGP and orthokeratology technology, Mr. Masashi Sawano has been deeply engaged in the field of contact lenses since 1977, and has a solid theoretical foundation and rich practical experience in corneal physiology, tear circulation and the influence of contact lenses on visual function. He has not only taken part in the design and development of a number of innovative contact lenses and care solutions, but has also widely promoted RGP and orthokeratology technology in many Asian countries as well as in China, cultivating a large number of professionals for the industry. He has also co-authored papers on keratoconus and orthokeratology with other experts.

Mr. Masashi Sawano shared his knowledge on the precise fitting of orthokeratology lenses, the mechanism by which orthokeratology lenses control myopia, corneal topography interpretation and parameter determination. Combining theory with case analysis and hands-on practice, he gave detailed explanations and provided one-on-one guidance on indications for orthokeratology lenses, design principles, personalized customization and many other aspects.

M3D Orthokeratology at Ming Vision & Ophthalmology

Precise Personalized Correction

The M3D orthokeratology technology (Mingvision Doctor Digital Design) adopted by Beijing Ming Vision & Ophthalmology is led by a doctoral supervisor formerly of the Optometry Center of Beijing Tongren Hospital and carried out by a physician team with doctoral graduates at its core. After more than 10 years of clinical research and application integrating ophthalmology with optometry, and drawing on the essence of precise personalized corneal laser surgery technology, it performs personalized corneal reshaping based on fully digital analysis and design of the refractive development status, corneal geometric morphology and visual quality of different children and adolescents, thereby precisely correcting refractive errors and effectively controlling the progression of myopia.

According to data released by the National Health Commission, the overall myopia rate among children and adolescents in China is as high as 52.7%, including 14.3% among 6-year-olds, 35.6% among primary school students, 71.1% among junior high school students, and as high as 80.5% among senior high school students. With the continuous development of technology, orthokeratology has become an effective method widely recognized by the global ophthalmology community for controlling the increase of myopia in adolescents. As the myopia rate among Chinese adolescents keeps rising, the demand for myopia prevention and control is becoming increasingly urgent, and standardized professional fitting of orthokeratology lenses is extremely important.
