Over its 10 years of development, the hospital has affirmed its leading position in regional ophthalmology, helping to improve eye-health care quality while earning the community’s trust through professionalism and dedicated service.

History of Formation and Development

Central Highlands Eye Hospital officially began operations on March 7, 2014, marking a significant milestone for ophthalmology in the region. At inception, the hospital had a small scale with a limited number of inpatient beds.
