Due to recent surge of new referrals, Hong Kong Eye Hospital (HKEH) in Kowloon Central Cluster needs to focus resources and manpower on urgent patients of the Priority 1 and Priority 2 categories. Starting from 3 January 2022, HKEH will suspend booking of appointments for stable patients catogorised as routine new cases from other Clusters, until further notice. Patients could make appointments with SOPCs in Clusters according to the residential addresses.
