The northern campus of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, officially put into use on October 30, 2026, the first new-generation robotic all-femtosecond refractive diagnosis and treatment device of its kind in China. According to a report by Shangguan News that day, the device's single-eye laser scanning time is only about 10 seconds, noticeably shorter than the previous generation; the device is equipped with an integrated laser robotic arm and an eye positioning and navigation system, which can automatically complete eye positioning and rotation compensation, and adds an independent high-definition optical microscope. The report said that the new-generation device cuts the cornea more evenly and reduces the duration of negative-pressure fixation, helping to alleviate postoperative dry eye and speed up recovery. The next day, Shangguan News reported again that the device had been put into clinical use, with the scanning time and device configuration described consistent with the first report. At present, there are no further follow-up developments.

A new-generation robotic all-femtosecond refractive diagnosis and treatment device has been deployed at the Ninth People's Hospital North Campus, with a single-eye laser scan of about 10 seconds
The North Campus of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, has put into use the first new-generation robotic all-femtosecond refractive diagnosis and treatment device of its series in China, with a single-eye laser scan time of about 10 seconds, significantly shorter than the previous generation. It was officially put into clinical use on October 30. The device is equipped with an integrated laser robotic arm and an eye positioning and navigation system, which can automatically assist in completing eye positioning and rotation compensation, and adds an independent optical high-definition microscope. The hospital said its corneal cutting is more uniform and the duration of negative-pressure fixation is reduced, which helps alleviate postoperative dry eyes and speed up recovery.

Ninth People's Hospital puts into use China's first new-generation robotic all-femtosecond device, with about 10 seconds per eye scan
The North Campus of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, has put into use China's first new-generation robotic all-femtosecond refractive diagnosis and treatment device of the same series, with a laser scanning time of about 10 seconds per eye, significantly shorter than the previous generation. The device is equipped with an integrated laser robotic arm and an eye positioning and navigation system, which can automatically assist in completing eye positioning and rotation compensation, and adds an independent optical high-definition microscope. The procedure does not create a corneal flap and is flapless and minimally invasive. Experts remind that not everyone is suitable for it, and a comprehensive preoperative examination must be completed.

Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital launches new-generation robotic femtosecond refractive equipment, with single-eye laser scanning taking only about 10 seconds
The North Campus of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine officially launched on October 30 the first new-generation robotic femtosecond refractive diagnosis and treatment equipment of its series in China, with single-eye laser scanning time of only about 10 seconds, significantly shorter than the previous generation. The equipment is equipped with an integrated laser robotic arm and an eye positioning and navigation system, which can automatically complete eye positioning and rotation compensation, and adds an independent optical high-definition microscope. The new-generation equipment provides more uniform corneal cutting and reduces the duration of negative-pressure fixation, helping to alleviate postoperative dry eye and speed up recovery.
