If Union Medical College Hospital is one of the most famous tertiary hospitals in China, I believe that no one will object. This hospital, not far from Tiananmen Square, with its high-end hardware and software level in China, has long surpassed Beijing in influence and has become the hope of patients all over the country in the face of diseases, especially incurable diseases. In terms of ophthalmology, according to the "2016 Best Specialty Reputation Ranking of Hospitals" issued by Fudan University School of Medicine, the Department of Ophthalmology of Union Medical College Hospital ranked eighth in Beijing after Tongren and Peking University People's Hospital.

As the ophthalmology department of a national tertiary hospital, the Department of Ophthalmology of Union Medical College covers almost all common ophthalmic diseases such as glaucoma, cataract, fundus disease, refractive and corneal diseases, and has also set up a professional group for ophthalmic genetic diseases. As the earliest established ophthalmic genetic disease professional group in China, the department is very good in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic genetic diseases and molecular genetics research, and takes the lead in carrying out research on various ocular genetic diseases such as Stickler syndrome, familial lens ectopia, congenital stationary night blindness, etc., and the group is entrusted by authoritative organizations such as the American Antiblindness Foundation, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Natural Science Foundation of China to carry out genetic analysis and treatment of ophthalmic genetic diseases, and is well received by patients with ophthalmic genetic diseases in China.

In addition to ophthalmic genetic diseases, another "incurable disease" in ophthalmology is ophthalmic nerve disease. Because it involves multidisciplinary interdisciplinarity, the diagnosis time is long, the pathology is complex, and the ocular nerve disease requires a high level of comprehensive ability of ophthalmologists, so there are not too many ophthalmic neurologists in the domestic ophthalmology department, and Zhong Yong, director of the ophthalmology department of Xiehe Medical College, is one of them. Zhong Yong studied under Professor Lao Yuanxiu, the pioneer of neurovisual field in China, and went to the United States to study the diagnosis and treatment of optic nerve diseases and eye-related cranial neuropathy. The group focuses on joint consultation with neurology and otolaryngology; Attaching great importance to visual field examination in neuro-ophthalmology, we have held many national neuro-ophthalmology study classes and exchange meetings since 08, and is a leader in the clinical diagnosis and treatment and research of neuro-ophthalmology in China.

It is worth mentioning that Professor Zhao Jialiang of the Department of Ophthalmology of the hospital has been engaged in clinical glaucoma since 1976, and has rich experience in the treatment of primary angle-closed/open-angle glaucoma and advanced glaucoma, and the diagnosis and treatment effect is excellent.

Thanks to the outpatient building that has not been built for too long, Xiehe Ophthalmology has done a very good job in the environment and crowd control, and it is well organized, but the number of appointments and registrations is still very considerable.
