Abstract Objective: To detect the main problems in the formation of ethics committees in eye hospitals in China and to provide relevant solutions for them by investigating the current status and understanding the establishment and operation at these hospitals. Methods: This was a crosssectional study. Convenience sampling combined with online distribution was adopted to investigate 33 ethics committees in eye hospitals all over the country from October 2018 to October 2019. The contents included the profile, formation, and operation of these ethics committees. Valid questionnaire data were selected and analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. Results: A total of 21(64%) eye hospitals had established ethics committees, and the other 12(36%) had not. Of the 21 hospitals with ethics committees, 12 hospitals had independent ethics committees,9 hospitals had full-time secretaries or staff, 4 hospitals did not have outside committee members, 7 hospitals had not established the presiding censorship, 4 hospitals had not conducted annual or regular follow-up reviews, and 3 hospitals had not organized ethics-related training for their researchers. Conclusions: There are problems in ethics committees in eye hospitals, such as chaotic subordinate relationships, inappropriate membership, inadequate training of committee members, and a lack of the whole course of ethics censorship. Specialized eye hospitals still need to strengthen the establishment of ethics committee setup, personnel composition, effective guaranteed conditions, effective training mechanisms, and normalized ethical review procedures. Mean while, it is recommended to establish a collaborative ethics censor alliance in eye hospitals, to actively promote a more normalized formation of ethics committees in the alliance, and to revise and improve standard operating procedures. While increasing the efficiency of ethical reviews, there are benefits in promoting the development, normalization and high quality of these ethics committees in eye hospitals.
