The Hong Kong Ophthalmic Associates was formed in 1997. It has a fine heritage. Dr. Victor C.P. Woo
first established his private ophthalmic practice in Prince Edward, Kowloon in 1974. Dr. Patrick P.C. Tong joined as a partner in 1979 and their clinic was known as Drs. Woo, Tong & Partners. Dr William K.Y. Leung had started his own private ophthalmic practice in Prince Edward in 1982 as well. In 1993, these three doctors came up with a vision - they would merge and recruit more ophthalmologists to set up a technologically advanced and comprehensive private eye care centre providing quality service in Hong Kong. It was then called Drs. Woo, Tong, Leung & Partners. Soon, Drs. S.H. Cheung, C.Y. Shiu , Donald C.F. Woo , Jean Paul Yih and Charmaine Hon joined. These 6 Fellows of the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine renamed the clinic as the Hong Kong Ophthalmic Associates in 1997.

The Ophthalmologist are supported by 7 fully registered optometrists with regard to eye examination, prescription of spectacles and contact lenses.

The nursing staff includes registered and enrolled nurses who are well trained in all aspects of eye care and surgery. At present, the clinic has 30 nurses.

The day to day running of the clinic is ably managed by a team of dedicated and experienced administrative staff.
