The ward is a large ground floor, belonging to an old-fashioned house, with 48 beds above the ground 1.5 meters. Because there are 54 beds in stomatology, and because the old house has an outer balcony and a wide inner corridor, extra beds are often added, with 60 beds every day. 1986 moved to the 7th floor of the new building on Suzhou North Road, with 64 beds, and the Institute of Ophthalmology moved to the 3rd floor and a half of the old building; 1992 moved to the 3rd floor of Laoguji Hospital Building, with 60 beds; 1994 moved back to the 6th floor of Wujin Road, with 60 beds and 28 beds on the 3rd floor of IMCC23. 1998 opened a cataract ward with 28 cataract beds in the nursing school building. In 200 1 year, the cataract ward was moved back to the ward on 17 floor, and a special bed for glaucoma was opened. It opened in the south of Songjiang in 2006. The ward in ward building 9A is ophthalmology, with 40 beds. In 2007, the ophthalmology center was established, which was converted from the teaching building of the original nursing school, with 156 beds, including 36 expensive beds. At this point, all the ophthalmic examinations and treatments in the ophthalmic ward and outpatient department are concentrated together and become a whole.
