Submit your case to SSAnkang with a brief diagnosis summary, recent imaging, current medication list, and your passport scan. Our coordinators pre-screen the case with the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center International Department, secure the right specialty slot, translate your medical records, and brief the receiving physician. You receive a written confirmation and pre-visit checklist before you travel.
Typical lead time at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center is General: 5-10 business days; Cataract/refractive surgery: 1-2 weeks. SSAnkang coordinators submit your case the same business day we receive complete medical records, then confirm the slot directly with the hospital’s international desk.
