The spokesman said that the Hospital Authority believes that the implantation of intraocular lens technology has been widely used, and it is also a standard course of treatment for cataracts after clinical evaluation by ophthalmologists in public hospitals.
After discussing with the government, the Hospital Authority decided to include the basic model of intraocular lens in the standard public service scope for qualified persons.
At present, public hospitals will charge an additional RMB 1,520 to cataract patients as a fee for the purchase of intraocular lenses. The relevant items have been listed in the government gazette of the medical items purchased by patients.
Private service patients or non-eligible persons will continue to pay the cost of the intraocular lens in accordance with the government gazette.
