What Eye Hospital of Hồ Chí Minh City - Bệnh viện mắt TP. Hồ Chí Minh does

Eye Hospital of Hồ Chí Minh City (Bệnh viện mắt TP. Hồ Chí Minh) is a Class I specialized public ophthalmology institution operated under the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, founded in 1978 as Điện Biên Phủ Hospital and renamed to its current identity in 2002. It serves as the designated referral center for ophthalmology across all 24 districts of HCMC and 23 southern provinces, treating a population base in the tens of millions through 25 departments, 270 inpatient beds and a staff of 800+ clinicians, nurses and technicians. Daily throughput consists of 3,000-3,500 outpatient consultations, 120+ phaco surgeries, glaucoma follow-ups for ~30,000 patients per year, and a cumulative base of more than 15,000 refractive surgery patients.

The hospital's clinical offering spans the full ophthalmology stack, including cataract (phaco) surgery, refractive surgery using LASIK and SMILE Pro platforms, corneal transplantation, pediatric ophthalmology, vitreoretinal surgery, oculoplastics, neuro-ophthalmology, glaucoma and emergency eye care. Underlying technology emphasizes latest-generation surgical and imaging systems — Femtosecond Laser VisuMax, multiple excimer laser platforms, OCT 3D imaging and modern phaco equipment — sourced from leading global vendors (Carl Zeiss, Alcon, J&J Vision, Bausch + Lomb, MIT Group). Adjacent product lines include contact lenses supplied in partnership with Paragon Vision Sciences and Seed Co., and continuous medical education delivered through 43 accredited programs and 120+ training courses that have certified 6,800+ professionals.

Revenue is generated principally through professional medical services rendered to a mass-market public patient base, supplemented by health insurance reimbursement under Vietnam's BHYT scheme, paid refractive and premium services, and externally-funded development programs. NGO partnerships with Orbis, Fred Hollows Foundation, Eye Care Foundation and Brien Holden Vision Institute have channeled approximately 117 billion VND in project funding into equipment, training and outreach. The hospital also generates soft revenue and ecosystem value via its academic affiliation with the University of Medicine and Pharmacy HCMC and Pham Ngoc Thach Medical University, and is governed under ISO 9001:2015 quality management standards achieved in 2018.
