Key revisions for international readability:

Eliminated redundant "Department Honors" preamble — Converted lengthy parenthetical into clean, scannable accreditation list.

Leadership statement tightened — Removed repetitive "making outstanding contributions"; replaced with active "whose leadership established the foundation."

Research scope reorganized — Grouped 7+ conditions into anterior segment, posterior segment, and neuro-ophthalmology categories with table, rather than dense comma-separated list.

National ranking highlighted — "Ranks 32nd in China" extracted as standalone metric for immediate visibility.

Collaboration section elevated — Created dedicated table for four "Three-Name Project" teams with institutions and leaders, replacing buried mid-text mention.

TCM formulary showcased — Developed preparations presented in indication table, demonstrating practical TCM innovation rather than mere list of names.

Research output consolidated — Grants, funding, awards, and publications unified in single metrics table.

Vision restructured — Classical motto formatted as epigraph; strategic objectives and core principles separated into actionable pillars with table, replacing abstract closing narrative.

Active voice throughout — "Further enhancing the specialty strength" → "significantly elevated our clinical and academic capabilities"; "attracting patients from all over the country" → "Our reputation attracts patients from across the country."
