When giving this award speech, Prof. Zhang Mingchang mentioned three words: HESH, ophthalmology and innovation. He said that while HESH are developing and growing, it has also given great encouragement to ophthalmology innovation. Without HESH, he could not have won the award. Ophthalmology has seen great progress in recent years and He is very proud to be an ophthalmologist. Innovation is the soul of the nation and the key factor of progress and he will continue to work hard to this end.  

Prof. Jin Zibing believes that winning the "He Eye Innovation Award" is not only an incentive to him personally, but also to a large number of young and middle-aged researchers who do research from a clinical point of view and promote clinical science from a technical point of view. 

He Wei, founder of He Eye Innovation Award: realizing the dream of revitalization of the Chinese nation through innovation.

As the founder of the "He Eye Innovation Award," Dr. He Wei president of He University and He Eye Specialist Hospital, said of the original intention of setting up the award: I am a poor student, and when the 1 million prize was handed out to me, I don't think this award should be given to me. Although the distance between Chinese ophthalmology and international ophthalmology is already narrowing in many ways, and even exceeds the international level in some aspects, there are a few things that we still need to improve. So I donated the money.

Dr. He Wei further pointed out that innovation first requires talent innovation. The training of our basic education, resident system and subspecialty system still needs to be improved, because the high-end equipment, drugs and consumables we use now are still made abroad. Only talent innovation can improve our ability of independent innovation.  

On the other hand, we need the innovation of values, because with the development of economy and the change of society, our values have been greatly impacted. How to stick to them and make the dream of rejuvenation of the Chinese nation come true requires the innovation of values.  

Dr. He hopes to promote the following aspects: Mission, Vision and Action through the establishment of the He Eye Innovation Award. He pointed out that there are currently 20 million people with visual impairment in China, and it is the mission of all ophthalmologists to help them recover. In the internet age, how China and the world will change requires an open and innovative vision, all of which require practical action. 

In order to support and encourage the innovation of young and middle-aged ophthalmologists, train outstanding innovative ophthalmologists, promote the independent innovation of ophthalmology and the development of prevention and treatment of blindness, He Wei, chairman of the International Blindness Prevention Association West Asia Pacific, member of the standing Committee of the Ophthalmology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and president of He Eye Hospital, donated a prize of 1 million yuan to the Liaoning Light of Care Blindness Prevention Foundation. The "He Eye Innovation Award" has been set up in the ophthalmology branch of the Chinese Medical Association to reward young and middle-aged innovative talents in ophthalmology clinical, scientific research and prevention of blindness in the form of an annual prize of 100,000 yuan. 

The He Eye Innovation Award was officially established at the 18th National Ophthalmology Congress on September 13, 2013, and two award ceremonies were successfully held in September 2014 and August 2015. Seven ophthalmologists were awarded the award. 

In 2014, the winners of the first "He Eye Innovation Award":
