About COOC

COOC is a specialised exhibition serving the ophthalmic and optometric healthcare sector, founded upon the development of China's ophthalmic and optometric industries. Since its inception in 1999, it has become a pivotal barometer for the sector. Annually attracting over 10,000 ophthalmologists, optometrists and industry professionals from 10 countries and all 31 provinces and municipalities across China, it remains the essential international event for the sector. Over its 24-year evolution, COOC has established a distinctive interactive model where academic conferences drive product exhibitions, earning it an outstanding reputation both domestically and internationally.

COOC embodies a spirit of perpetual innovation and transformation

Always committed to innovation and evolution, COOC has retained its time-honored academic sessions over the years, including Refractive Surgery, International Orthokeratology Symposium, Pediatric Strabismus and Amblyopia, Neuro-Ophthalmology & Fundus Imaging, and Ocular Surface subspecialty forums. While carrying forward its legacy, the conference continues to break new ground and thrive with fresh vitality.

Making its second appearance after refinement and iteration, the newly launched Ophthalmology Grand Forum has restructured and integrated multiple sub-disciplines. Bringing together renowned ophthalmologists and young professionals, it features keynote speeches and summit dialogues, creating a direct communication platform for senior experts and emerging scholars. This initiative has facilitated in-depth interdisciplinary exchanges, earning wide acclaim and a tremendous response among participants.

Meanwhile, classic signature events remain a highlight of the conference: the 5th Private Ophthalmic Hospital & Optometric Care Center Development Forum, well-received by practitioners for its focus on the development of private medical institutions; the 4th International Forum on Innovative Development of Blindness Prevention and Treatment, dedicated to public welfare practices; the 2026 International Conference on the Application and Development of Artificial Intelligence in Ophthalmology keeping pace with cutting-edge trends; as well as the 2026 Shanghai International Seminar on New Advances in Presbyopia Management.

Complemented by product launch events, new product promotions and clinical discussion forums hosted by participating enterprises, COOC has long upheld its distinctive model of conferences integrated with exhibitions and exhibitions embedding academic sessions.

Boasting a full spectrum of high-quality academic programs, participation by top ophthalmic experts, and a two-day exhibition showcasing cutting-edge equipment and technologies, the event attracted nearly 210 exhibitors and drew 20,000 attendees including physicians and visitors. Against a backdrop of industry-wide downturns and various uncertainties, the 2026 COOC concluded with resounding success thanks to support from all sectors. COOC is undergoing a remarkable transformation. We look forward to greater innovations and progress at COOC 2027.
