Founded in 1958 and administered by the Veterans Affairs Council, the Taipei Veterans General Hospital is a tertiary referral teaching hospital. Here, first-class care is provided to Taipei City and the surrounding areas.  Additionally, this group is active in both basic and clinical research. A highlight of their basic research is the use of a dry eye mouse model to investigate the crosstalk between the immune system and nervous system in dry eye pathogenesis. Clinical research is broad ranging and includes meibomian gland dysfunction treatment to diagnosis and treatment of challenging corneal infections.
