Choose the accountable route
An eye hospital, a general-hospital ophthalmology department, an optical shop and a medical contact-lens service do not have the same licence, staff, records or responsibilities.
Separate examination from purchase
Keep the provider-issued examination or refraction record distinct from an eyeglasses order, contact-lens product, price, warranty and insurer decision.
Preserve the handoff
Request the Chinese originals of reports, prescriptions, images, procedure or fitting records, product identifiers, itemized charges and follow-up ownership.

This collection provides source-led administrative navigation for eye and vision care. It does not assess symptoms or urgency; interpret visual acuity, refraction, imaging, visual-field or other examination results; choose an examination, lens, contact lens, orthokeratology product, medicine, procedure, surgery, clinician or provider; compare clinical quality or outcomes; give wearing, preparation, medicine, procedure or aftercare instructions; decide whether an existing plan should continue; or promise a price, appointment, language service, insurer payment, refund or result. Qualified ophthalmology, optometry, optical, emergency, insurer and legal professionals retain the decisions within their scope. For a perceived medical emergency in mainland China, call 120.
