On September 9, 2025, a team from Thondar arrived in Tromsø, Norway, within the Arctic Circle, to upgrade the MRT system and discuss technical advances with
Professor Aleksandar Stojanovic, who is from the University Hospital of North Norway. A specialist in ophthalmic laser surgery, Prof. Stojanovic has been a regular
participant at the ESCRS Congress for ten years. As the first international user of MRT, he continues to track the system's development.

Prof. Stojanovic conducted a hands-on evaluation of the newly introduced MRT features, highlighting key technical advances such as a 150° field of view, 0.05°
measurement resolution, and a 2-second capture time. He noted the system's speed and direct measurement approach, which simplify clinical use.


The Thondar team shared recent MRT research outcomes: 19 new papers have been published in the past year, bringing the total to over 200. These studies cover
MRT's accuracy, its role in evaluating ortho-k and soft contact lenses, the performance of customized defocus lenses based on MRT data, and uses in ICL and refractive
surgery.

During the visit, Dr. Dong Xuechuan, General Manager of Thondar, presented the hospital with a certificate designating it as the “MRT Clinical Demonstration Base
for Europe.” Prof. Stojanovic stated, “It is an honor to host the northernmost MRT site.” He looks forward to further collaboration with Thondar on myopia research
and personalized management.

Thondar's MRT systems are now used in over 1,000 hospitals in China, as well as in Norway, Slovenia, and Italy. It remains the only device that provides rapid, wide-angle, and precise peripheral refraction mapping, supporting its growing role in global myopia control.
