    1. Given the lack of a typical March uptick and your cautious view of Q2 volumes, how will you mitigate risks if the LAL volume fails to pick up in the second half as expected?
    2. With growing competitive pressures and pivotal macroeconomic uncertainties, can you provide more detailed plans on accelerating LAL adoption and countering the impact of competitive trialing by fixed premium lens players?
    3. As you reduced production in 2025 to align with revised revenue guidance despite last year’s production ramp-up, what specific cost-control initiatives are in place if inventory sales underperform in the latter half of the year?
    4. In light of recurring workload challenges highlighted by practices, what concrete measures are you implementing to streamline postoperative adjustments, and how will these address capacity constraints to boost overall LAL procedures?
    5. Given that international expansion is a market-by-market decision and upcoming regulatory approvals are underway, how do you plan to quantify and leverage premium IOL volume gains in regions like South Korea and the U.K. while managing potential tariff risks?
