66 Vision Tech

Suzhou 66 Vision Tech Co., Ltd. operates one of China’s longest-running ophthalmic medical device manufacturing bases, with a history spanning nearly seven decades since its founding in 1956 as Suzhou Medical Instrument General Factory.

Company Overview

66 Vision Tech emerged from one of China’s earliest medical device manufacturers established during the country’s first industrialization wave. The company underwent restructuring and modernization while maintaining its core focus on ophthalmic equipment. Today, it produces over 160 product varieties across 600+ specifications, covering the full spectrum of ophthalmic diagnosis, surgery, and treatment.

The company has built broad R&D capabilities spanning optics, precision mechanics, electronics, microelectronics, polymer materials, laser technology, and ultrasound systems. This multi-disciplinary technical foundation enables fully digital design, manufacturing, and management processes.

66 Vision Tech’s product portfolio encompasses six major categories:

Slit Lamp Microscope Series: The YZ5 series represents the company’s flagship diagnostic product line, including models such as YZ5H, YZ5G, YZ5F, YZ5X, and the digital YZ5S. These instruments feature Schott optical glass with multi-layer coating for high light transmission, providing precise anterior segment examination capabilities.

Surgical Microscope Series: The SOM2000 series includes advanced dual-binocular operation microscopes designed for ophthalmic surgery. The SOM2000Dx represents the top-tier model with features supporting two operators simultaneously, while the SOM2000C offers compact design for space-constrained environments.
