[Problems and strategies of corneal surgery in China].
Corneal surgery covers corneal refractive surgery and corneal transplantation. Though China has ranked the first in the number of LASIK performed in the world, lack of accredited subspecialty division, surgical admission system and professional administration in the field of refractive surgery prevents the further development of LASIK techniques. However, corneal transplantation techniques of China have been greatly improved in the international level. But the major constrains are legal, storage and screening standards of donor corneas.
