What should an international patient prepare before traveling?

International patients should first obtain a medical visa (S2 or L visa) for China, and bring all relevant medical records, including recent eye exams, OCT scans, and fluorescein angiography results. It is advisable to arrange a professional medical interpreter if you do not speak Mandarin, as technical eye-care terms require precise translation. Plan for an initial stay of at least 2–3 weeks to complete the first injection and follow-up assessment. Finally, confirm with your chosen hospital about accepted payment methods (often cash, wire transfer, or international credit cards) and whether they offer package pricing for multiple injections.
