Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center (ZOC) of Sun Yat-sen University is an advanced ophthalmic center that integrates prevention of blindness, eye care, teaching and research. It is also the first and the optimum choice for those with complicated eye diseases in China. The quality of medical service is a vital component of the Center.

In 1965, some famous ophthalmic experts, such as Professors Yaozhen Chen (Eugene Chan) and Wenshu Mao (Winifred Mao), founded the Eye Hospital. Endorsed by the Ministry of Health, the Eye Hospital was renamed "Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center" of Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences (SUMS) in 1983.
