With the deepening reform and opening-up of China, international academic exchanges and cooperation have become increasingly frequent and in-depth, particularly in the field of ophthalmology. From the friendly exchanges that began between international friends or individual hospital ophthalmology departments in the early 1980s to the arrival of ORBIS aircraft to China to spread advanced ophthalmic concepts and techniques, all these have undoubtedly played a positive catalytic role in changing China's technological lag. The ophthalmic professionals in China, combining experience from both the old and the young, have made rapid progress by actively going abroad and bringing back a wealth of ophthalmic theories, equipment, and technologies from developed Western countries. With their skilled hands and a spirit of precision, exploration, and innovation, they have achieved significant advancements in clinical ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment, while also laying a new foundation for applied basic research in ophthalmology. These progressions are closely related to international academic exchanges.
During the translation process, we have gradually come to appreciate the many valuable aspects of this book. The author not only possesses extensive academic experience and profound expertise but also presents the content in a vivid and engaging manner, making it a truly enjoyable read. Ophthalmic surgery encompasses a core body of knowledge that integrates the essential skills ophthalmologists must master. Forming such a knowledge core is highly beneficial because compiling all ophthalmic surgical knowledge comprehensively and in a timely manner is extremely challenging. Moreover, what makes an excellent physician outstanding lies in their ability to grasp key points, possess strong technical proficiency, and exhibit admirable qualities: solid foundations, calm confidence, targeted precision, sharp thinking, self-awareness, relentless pursuit of excellence, and efficiency in time management (the last point is difficult to describe). Continuous innovation is the icing on the cake. A physician who understands the intricacies of all diagnostic and treatment techniques may not necessarily be outstanding, but those who can discern the essential knowledge are truly exceptional.
