Clinical Excellence
Dr. Liu's clinical practice is distinguished by her comprehensive approach to children's visual health — addressing not just the immediate presenting condition, but the full context of a child's visual development, lifestyle, and long-term visual prognosis. Her particular strengths in myopia prevention and control and visual fatigue management reflect the most pressing pediatric eye health challenges of the digital age.
- Myopia Control Program: Dr. Liu has developed a comprehensive, evidence-based myopia control program at the EENT Hospital, integrating the full range of proven myopia control interventions — orthokeratology, low-concentration atropine, dual-focus contact lenses, and myopia control spectacle lenses — with individualized selection based on each child's age, myopia severity, lifestyle, and family preferences. China has one of the highest rates of childhood myopia in the world, and Dr. Liu's program addresses this epidemic with the most current evidence-based strategies
- Visual Fatigue Expertise: Particular expertise in the diagnosis and management of visual fatigue (asthenopia) — an increasingly common problem in children and young adults in the digital age. Dr. Liu's systematic approach identifies the underlying cause (accommodative dysfunction, convergence insufficiency, dry eye, uncorrected refractive error, or binocular vision disorder) and provides targeted treatment rather than generic advice
- Amblyopia Treatment Innovation: Committed to evidence-based amblyopia treatment including the latest dichoptic therapy approaches, with systematic monitoring of visual acuity progress and individualized adjustment of treatment protocols
- International Family-Friendly: Particularly well-suited for international families in Shanghai with children experiencing strabismus, amblyopia, myopia, or visual fatigue — conditions that are common in school-age children worldwide and often require specialist evaluation
- Collaborative Care: Works closely with Dr. Zhao Kanxing for complex strabismus cases requiring advanced surgical expertise, providing seamless continuity of care within the EENT Hospital's Pediatric Ophthalmology Department

- Visual fatigue — prevalence, causes, and treatment in children
- Strabismus surgery outcomes in children
