Since the training and service project for primary cataract surgeons was launched in 2008, the level and present situation of ophthalmology service in nearly 80 secondary hospitals in Guangdong Province were investigated, and the needs of ophthalmology assistance and cataract patients in secondary hospitals in Guangdong Province, especially in remote areas in the province, were found out. The project fully funded the first training course of "small incision non-ultrasonic cataract surgery" for grassroots ophthalmologists in Guangdong Province. Nearly 22 clinical interns were selected to their units for "hands-on clinical teaching". And completed the standardized training of animal eye surgery, in which two secondary hospitals have carried out cataract surgery from scratch, and now they have been able to carry out cataract prevention and treatment independently. In view of the successful operation of the project, Guangdong Provincial Health Department will provide administrative support for the training of grassroots ophthalmologists to alleviate the extreme shortage of blindness prevention forces in grassroots and remote mountainous areas of our province.

Since the Children's vision care Campaign was launched in March 2008, more than 39,000 students from 45 schools have received vision screening and given away more than 4,000 pairs of prescription glasses for free. In view of the extreme lack of myopia knowledge among primary and middle school students, the Office for the Prevention and Treatment of Blindness established the China Youth vision care Network. At the same time, more than 100 lectures on eye care knowledge were held for ametropia students in the project school, and more than 1000 brochures on eye care knowledge were distributed. Together with Guangzhou Education Bureau, we held a knowledge contest of like eyes with the participation of 6,543,800 primary and middle school students, and distributed eye protection equipment worth 50,000 yuan to improve students' awareness of eye protection.

Group eye disease research carried out by the Office for Prevention of Blindness: The Guangzhou Twin Myopia Gene Research Project is jointly funded by Guangzhou Science and Technology Commission, China-Australia Science and Technology Cooperation Fund, National Natural Science Foundation and World Health Organization, and the Office for Prevention of Blindness is responsible for organizing and implementing the five-year international cooperative scientific research project. In the summer of 2007, the second year's vision examination of the twin project was organized. The progress phenotypic data of more than 500 twin families were collected. In 2007, the results of phenotypic data in the first year of the project were published in internationally renowned ophthalmology journals. Among them, two papers of Twin Project won the Best Paper Award at the 2nd World Glaucoma Congress held in Singapore.
