Features: With the deepening development of China's reform and opening-up, international academic exchanges and cooperation have become increasingly frequent and in-depth, particularly in the field of ophthalmology. From the friendly exchanges that began in the early 1980s between international friends or individual hospital ophthalmology departments, to the introduction of advanced ophthalmological concepts and techniques to China by the ORBIS airplane, all of these have undoubtedly played a positive catalytic role in changing China's technological lag. The ophthalmologists in China, combining the experience of both the old and the young, have made great progress in clinical diagnosis and treatment through their skilled hands and spirit of precision, exploration, and innovation, while also laying a new foundation for the applied basic research in ophthalmology. These advancements are closely related to international academic exchanges. During the translation process, we gradually realized that the book has many valuable aspects to learn from. The author not only possesses extensive experience and profound expertise in academia. The book is richly illustrated, with vivid language, making it a pleasure to read. Ophthalmic surgery has a core knowledge system that integrates the essential knowledge that ophthalmologists need to master. Forming such a knowledge core is highly beneficial because it is difficult to comprehensively and timely summarize all ophthalmic surgical knowledge. Moreover, the excellence of a skilled physician lies in their ability to grasp key points, possess strong technical skills, and exhibit commendable personal qualities: solid foundation, calm confidence, targeted focus, quick thinking, self-awareness, pursuit of excellence, and efficiency in time management (the last point is hard to describe). Continuous innovation is even more valuable. A doctor who has a basic understanding of the origins and developments of all diagnostic and treatment techniques may not necessarily be excellent; it is crucial to gain insight into the essential knowledge.
