Sai Gon Eye Hospital reaches 1,000 EyeSignature personalized vision correction procedures

The German ophthalmic medical device company Schwind recently awarded Sai Gon Eye Hospital System a commemorative medal, recognizing the milestone of 1,000 successful EyeSignature procedures.

The event took place during Sai Gon Eye Hospital System's reception of Mr. Domenic von Planta, CEO of Schwind (Germany) - Sai Gon Eye Hospital’s strategic partner and the technology provider for EyeSignature. In addition to the commemorative medal, Schwind also awarded "Personalized refractive surgery specialist" certificates to Sai Gon Eye Hospital’s medical team.

As the "largest private specialized eye hospital and clinic system in Vietnam," Sai Gon Eye Hospital was chosen by the German corporation as a strategic partner to collaborate on the development and application of modern ophthalmic technologies. This partnership allows Sai Gon Eye Hospital to continually update with new technologies, while the medical team enhances their expertise through training from international experts, contributing to bringing treatment quality in Vietnam up to international standards.

In April, Sai Gon Eye Hospital - with 19 hospitals and clinics nationwide and continuing to expand - was the first in Vietnam to implement the EyeSignature personalized vision correction technology. This solution designs a laser refractive correction plan based on an individual’s 3D corneal map, developed on Schwind’s advanced technology platform. This technology treats higher-order aberrations - microscopic irregularities in the eye that cause glare and halos at night, or the ability to see objects but with poor contrast and lack of sharpness.

Mr. Domenic von Planta stated that the trend of personalization in refractive treatment is currently growing strongly globally - especially in the US, Europe, Singapore, and China. "Schwind is proud to witness this trend being effectively implemented in Vietnam, with the collaboration of Sai Gon Eye Hospital’s medical team," Mr. Domenic von Planta said.

The milestone of 1,000 successful EyeSignature treatments across Vietnam affirms the expertise of Sai Gon Eye Hospital’s team and the trust patients place in the system. Many patients reported achieving 10/10 vision within one to three days after surgery, with some even reaching 12/10 and experiencing superior visual clarity, free from the glare and halos at night often associated with other vision correction technologies.

Mr. Huynh Le Duc - CEO of Sai Gon Medical Corporation, the parent company of Sai Gon Eye Hospital System, affirmed: "The successful implementation of EyeSignature personalized refractive surgery technology is the result of the professional competence and vision of Sai Gon Eye Hospital’s medical team, and the strong support from Schwind in technology transfer."

On this occasion, representatives from Schwind and Sai Gon Eye Hospital System discussed the direction of comprehensive ophthalmological cooperation in the future. Both sides affirmed their commitment to continued collaboration, particularly focusing on promoting EyeSignature technology. Research, updates, and integration of new features will be prioritized to elevate EyeSignature's already superior treatment accuracy to new heights, better serving the personalized vision restoration needs of Vietnamese people.
