The Golden Hands of Ophthalmology at Hai Yen Eye Care

Amid the rapid emergence of numerous ophthalmology centers in major cities, not all facilities possess sufficient professional expertise, clinical experience, and ethical standards for patients to confidently entrust their eyes—the most delicate and precious organs of the human body. In Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Yen Eye Care has established and continues to affirm its position as a leading specialized ophthalmology center, where knowledge, advanced technology, and dedicated “golden hands” come together.

The Guiding Imprint of Hai Yen Eye Care

The Golden Hands of Ophthalmology at Hai Yen Eye Care

The solid foundation of Hai Yen Eye Care is built upon the vision and dedication of Associate Professor, PhD, MD Tran Hai Yen—former Deputy Director of Ho Chi Minh City Eye Hospital and former lecturer at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City and Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine. With more than three decades devoted to ophthalmology, Dr. Hai Yen is not only a highly respected specialist but also a pioneer in updating and applying modern treatment methods in Vietnam.

She is among the first experts in Southern Vietnam to successfully implement advanced refractive surgery techniques such as SMILE and Phakic ICL, opening new opportunities for visual improvement in patients with high myopia, thin corneas, or those unsuitable for traditional laser procedures.

What truly distinguishes Dr. Hai Yen is not merely the large number of successful surgeries, but her highly individualized treatment approach—carefully listening, thoroughly analyzing, and selecting the most appropriate solution for each pair of eyes and each patient’s unique life circumstances.

When Medicine Meets Empathy

The persistent pursuit of optimal solutions for patients is a core value upheld by Hai Yen Eye Care

One representative story frequently mentioned by patients is the case of Mr. Cu Quang Vinh, a 30-year-old from Dong Thap Province. With myopia reaching up to 20 diopters in both eyes, he had experienced repeated disappointment after being declined treatment at many facilities. When he came to Hai Yen Eye Care, he underwent comprehensive examinations, detailed assessment of ocular structure, and was advised on a combined surgical approach using Phakic ICL and Femto LASIK.

The treatment proceeded smoothly, resulting in stable vision and significant improvement. More than a year later, during follow-up visits, Mr. Vinh shared that his life had changed positively as he could clearly perceive the world around him without relying on thick glasses. This story not only reflects professional expertise but also highlights the persistent commitment to finding optimal solutions for patients – a core value that Hai Yen Eye Care consistently upholds.

A Convergence of Multi-Generational Experts

Alongside the leadership of Associate Professor, PhD, MD Tran Hai Yen, Hai Yen Eye Care brings together a team of physicians with rigorous training, extensive clinical experience, and a modern medical mindset. Each member contributes an essential piece to the comprehensive vision care ecosystem.

PhD, MD Tran Dinh Minh Huy is a prominent representative of the academically accomplished younger generation of specialists. Having participated in short-term training programs at Harvard Medical School and the Wilmer Eye Institute of Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Huy offers a global perspective in both ophthalmic research and clinical practice.

As the Asia–Pacific regional ambassador of the International Myopia Institute (IMI), Dr. Huy has participated in and led numerous studies on school myopia, helping bring advanced myopia control solutions closer to Vietnamese children.

Serving as the medical director at the center, Specialist Level I MD Nguyen Truong Tuong Duy brings nearly 15 years of experience in ophthalmic treatment and surgery. Beyond proficiency in laser refractive surgery, Dr. Duy is also skilled in retinal laser photocoagulation, intravitreal injections, pterygium surgery, management of keratoconus with scleral lenses, and long-term care of chronic eye diseases. His comprehensive expertise makes him a vital bridge between classical ophthalmology and modern treatment approaches at Hai Yen Eye Care.

A Special Focus on Children’s Vision

Hai Yen Eye Care makes serious investments in pediatric myopia control

In response to the rapidly increasing prevalence of school myopia, Hai Yen Eye Care has made a strong commitment to pediatric myopia control. Specialist Level I MD Ha Thi Xuan Thao stands out in this field, with solid ophthalmology residency training and extensive experience in applying advanced methods such as low-dose atropine, Ortho-K lenses, and next-generation myopia control spectacle lenses.

Beyond clinical treatment, Dr. Thao actively participates in international research projects, contributing to the continuous updating of evidence-based treatment protocols tailored to the physical characteristics and daily habits of Vietnamese children. The combination of in-depth expertise and a strong sense of community responsibility ensures sustainable outcomes in pediatric eye care at the center.

Working alongside experienced specialists is a new generation of young physicians such as MSc, MD Tran Minh Man – formally trained at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City and holding advanced certifications in microsurgery. With a gentle, meticulous, and approachable working style, Dr. Man helps create a friendly clinical environment where patients feel reassured from their very first visit.

Spreading Humanistic Medical Values

Going beyond the role of a treatment facility, Hai Yen Eye Care positions itself as a place that spreads the enduring values of medicine: medical ethics, knowledge, and long-term companionship with patients. Each treatment case is not merely a technical procedure, but a journey built on understanding, multidisciplinary collaboration, and a commitment to long-term follow-up.

With a sustainable development orientation, a pioneering spirit, and an internationally integrated vision, Hai Yen Eye Care has continued – and will continue – to restore light to thousands of eyes. There, light is not only about clearer vision, but also about trust, peace of mind, and a better quality of life for patients across Vietnam.
