SmartSight Premium: A New Advance in Refractive Error Treatment in Vietnam

One year after pioneering the introduction of SmartSight technology - the world's most modern refractive surgery technique - to Vietnam, Dong Do Eye Hospital has officially become the leading unit in Asia in terms of the number of successful surgeries.

Accordingly, after only 5 months of implementation, the hospital has performed more than 1,000 surgeries, marking remarkable growth in expertise and technique.

SmartSight is a technology that eliminates nearsightedness without using a knife or creating a corneal flap, helping to minimize trauma and shorten recovery time. In particular, this technology allows for personalization of the entire treatment process, integrating a centering system on the visual axis, axis rotation compensation and real-time eye movement tracking, thereby ensuring absolute precision and long-term effectiveness for patients.

On the occasion of its 15th anniversary, Dong Do Hospital solemnly organized the event "Million Bright Eyes" on April 26, 2025, to honor outstanding achievements in the field of ophthalmology and affirm its pioneering position in applying the region's leading modern refractive error treatment technology.

At the event, MSc. Dinh Thi Phuong Thuy, CEO of Dong Do Hospital, shared that SmartSight is not just a technology, but a turning point in the treatment of refractive errors. From a technological dream, we have turned it into reality in Vietnam, helping thousands of people escape their dependence on glasses and regain their quality of life.

SmartSight surgery takes just 15 seconds per eye, is painless, and the tiny 2mm incision allows for almost immediate recovery, with patients returning to normal activities after just 24 hours.

Improvements in the design of the tissue core and transition zone also help reduce dry eyes and fogging - common problems after surgery with older methods.

With outstanding achievements, Dong Do Eye not only received the title of “Asia’s Leading Unit in the Number of Successful SmartSight Surgery Cases” for the second consecutive time, but also became a reliable destination for domestic and foreign patients in need of high-tech refractive treatment.

Also at the event, Dong Do Hospital officially announced the upgraded version of SmartSight Premium - a refractive treatment solution combined with an intensive post-operative eye care process. This model helps patients not only achieve optimal vision but also maintain long-term eye health, minimizing the risk of recurrence and post-operative complications.

This is a new step forward in the comprehensive treatment trend that Dong Do Eye always pursues to bring about differences in both technology and medical experience.

Not only is it a pioneer in technology, Dong Do Eye Hospital is also widely known for its persistent and meaningful volunteer activities. Since 2022, the “Free Your Eyes” project has helped more than 500 poor patients across the country receive free eye surgery, bringing light to those less fortunate.

The program also organizes free screening for nearly 10,000 people in remote areas such as Ha Giang, Son La, Cao Bang ..., helping them access modern ophthalmological medical services.

A typical case is Mr. Nguyen Van Cong - a liver cancer patient living with his wife who has late-stage breast cancer. With cataracts and fundus disease causing severe vision loss, he almost gave up hope. But thanks to the dedicated support from the Dong Do Eye team, he had a successful surgery and regained his sight.

Or the touching story of 2-month-old Do Minh Quan, born into a blind family in Hoa Binh, with congenital cataracts. Thanks to timely intervention, he had successful surgery, opening up a completely different future.

Not stopping there, Dong Do Eye continues to affirm its role as a “community hospital” when announcing 100 free intraocular injections for patients with serious eye diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, uveitis, etc.

Intraocular injection is the most effective treatment method today, but the high cost makes it inaccessible to many patients. This action is not only a gift of health, but also a sincere sharing from the Dong Do medical team with patients, true to the philosophy: "Medicine for people".

“A Million Bright Eyes” is a symbol of Dong Do Hospital’s 15-year journey of dedication in the field of ophthalmology. From pioneering surgeries to humane community programs, the hospital has been creating a comprehensive, modern and compassionate eye care ecosystem.

With a team of leading experts, strategic cooperation with international technology corporations such as Schwind (Germany) and a long-term vision, Dong Do Hospital affirms its goal of becoming the leading ophthalmology center in Southeast Asia, bringing Vietnam to the world medical technology map.
