Recently, the famous "Expertscape" in Europe released its latest international ranking of 2022 "Global experts in laser corneal surgery". Professor Wang Yan, a well-known refractive surgery expert in China, president of Tianjin Eye Hospital, Affiliated Eye Hospital of Nankai University and the Institute of Ophthalmology of Nankai University, ranks 6th out of more than 6,000 experts in the field of corneal laser surgery worldwide.

Refractive surgery plays an important role in the correction of refractive errors, and its mainstream surgical approach is laser-based. Laser corneal refractive surgery is widely regarded as one of the most effective and safest refractive surgeries for patients with refractive errors, according to a study in The Lancet, an authoritative academic journal.

The ranking is based on Expertscape's assessment criteria: SCI papers published between 2012 and 2022; articles indexed and defined as "Main titles" by PubMed; papers excluding "Sub-titles", letters, etc.; and the system's explicit assignment of authors to each article.

"Expertscape" also released a list of the 2022 "Global experts in keratectomy". Professor Wang Yan and Professor Zhou Xingtao, president of Eye & E.N.T Department Hospital of Fudan University, are among the top 10.
