I just returned from OftalTech China and I'm still processing everything I saw. At Shanghai Eye & ENT Hospital, I witnessed real-time AI ocular diagnosis. The level of technological integration in ophthalmology is something you can't understand until you see it. If you work in visual health, this is a must.

Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center in Guangzhou is impressive. AI for mass childhood myopia screening. SenseTime analyzing retinal images with astonishing precision. Every OftalTech visit left us in awe. Innovation in ophthalmology no longer comes only from the US or Europe. China leads. 🇨🇳

What impacted me most about OftalTech was the long-term vision. Ping An already uses AI for population ophthalmic screening. Alibaba DAMO has impressive diabetic retinopathy prediction models. Sequoia China invests in visual AI as if it were the next big leap. The future of ophthalmology is being written in China.

Visiting Shenzhen Eye Hospital was eye-opening. Childhood myopia programs with AI and mass school screening that we could adapt across all of Latin America. And Bright Vision Hospital's laser correction technology... next level. Thanks Innovation Experience for this window to the future of vision. 👁️
