What made Fadi wait two years, across 6410 kilometres, from Dubai to Shenyang He Eye Hospital for surgery?

Fadi said, "I think China's medical technology is advanced, and I trust Chinese doctors!" On September 6, Fadi, accompanied by his family, underwent a vitrectomy at Shenyang He Eye Specialist Hospital.

With the continuous improvement of the quality of ophthalmic medical care and the ability of medical technology in China, increasingly foreign patients choose to come to China for treatment, and the advanced and advantageous medical technology has been widely recognized internationally, which promotes the high-quality development of China's medical talent team.

A World with only one meter of manual vision 

Fadi described his eye disease, with light in the left front of the eye, but seeing objects as if they were a dark shadow, only a faint outline, no longer able to read the eye chart, the vision is only HM/1m (manual 1m), and the vision in the right eye is 1.0. On September 4, Dr. Wu Xianwei, Chief  Physician of the Diabetic Eye Disease and Fundus Disease Center of Shenyang He Eye Specialist Hospital conducted a detailed examination for Fadi.

The diagnosis was diabetic binocular retinopathy with vitreous hemorrhage and traction retinal detachment in the left eye and retinal hemorrhage in the right eye.

Dr. Wu suggested that Fadi perform a minimally invasive vitrectomy in the left eye to remove the vitreous hematoma and the proliferative membrane, reset the detached retina, control the development of the left eye and save the patient's visual function.

At the same time, the right eye takes the whole retinal laser photocoagulation treatment to avoid further deterioration in the right eye. The medical staff provided Fadi with the most accurate diagnosis and treatment plan and did their best to keep his light and hope. Fadi and his family waited two years for the surgery, and when it began, Fadi was excited and nervous.

Trust made him choose to operate in China

The Fadi family has a history of diabetes. In 2021, his vision in the left eye was getting worse, and he was observed for two days at a local hospital without surgery.

He has been living with only his right eye for two years, and he hopes to come to China to have his eye treated when the epidemic stabilizes. "I believe in Chinese medical technology," said Ms. Wang, Fadi's wife.

Fadi's wife, from Fushun, Liaoning Province, believes that the medical technology of He Eye Specialist Hospital is authoritative, and many of her friends have recovered through He Eye Specialist Hospital treatment, so she decided to bring her husband back to Shenyang He Eye Specialist Hospital for surgery.

For the whole operation, Fadi praised the skills of the doctors, saying that there was NO discomfort, and the operation was carried out quickly; they were very professional. "I want to get a Chinese driver's license and take her around more." "I want to see my family and my lover." Fadi is full of hopes for everyday life.

After surgery, Dr Wu Xianwei told Fadi to stay prone and rest, strictly control his blood glucose, and reminded him to return to China regularly and continue to take medicine.

During his stay in the hospital, the exquisite medical technology and quality medical service of the medical staff of Shenyang He Eye Hospital made the Fadi family feel warm. Fadi said sincerely. "no one here treats me as a foreigner; I feel comfortable. "

It is because of the trust and support of each patient and his family that He Eye Specialist Hospital has been able to continue to forge ahead and be well-versed in the medical field for nearly 30 years and adhere to the professional diagnosis and treatment technology and sincere and moving service concept to let more patients get better medical services.
