Your retina does more than help you see shapes and colours, it acts as your body’s internal metronome.

Within the retinal layers are specialised cells known as intrinsically photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells (ipRGCs) that detect light intensity to regulate your circadian rhythm.

In Singapore’s digital-first environment, chronic exposure to high-energy blue light in the evening can signal to your ipRGCs that it is still daytime, disrupting sleep patterns and potentially causing digital eye strain.

As awareness of circadian health grows, human-centric lighting (HCL) has gained attention as a way to better align indoor lighting with natural light cycles.

By designing your home office with lighting that mimics the natural solar cycle, you support both your retinal health and your sleep quality.

Are you experiencing eye strain from your working from home setup?

Consult with the experts at Asia Retina to learn how to optimise your environment for long-term eye health.

The start of a new year is often about setting intentions for health, focus, and longevity.
Vision is rarely part of that conversation, yet it underpins almost everything we do.

Many retinal conditions develop silently, long before noticeable changes in sight occur. Subtle retinal changes can progress without symptoms, which is why proactive eye care matters, not just when vision becomes blurred or distorted.

At Asia Retina, the new year is an opportunity to:
🔹 Reassess retinal health with advanced imaging
🔹 Establish a clear baseline for long-term monitoring
🔹 Identify early changes before vision is affected
🔹 Personalise care according to age, risk factors, and lifestyle

Good vision is not something to react to, it’s something to protect.

Make retinal health part of how you start the year.

Follow retina for evidence-based eye health education and insights into modern retinal care.

Your sight is our priority.

✨ Chronological age tells us how many years you have lived.

✨ Biological age tells us how well your body is aging.

As we transition into 2026, retinal imaging is emerging as a critical tool in the field of longevity and preventive medicine.

👁️ The retina is the only part of the human body where we can non-invasively visualise micro-vasculature and neural tissue in high resolution.

Recent clinical research into the "Retinal Age Gap" suggests that the health of your retinal layers can reflect the biological state of your cardiovascular and neurological systems.

🔹By utilising advanced AI-driven scans, retinal specialists can now identify subtle vascular changes that may precede systemic conditions.

At Asia Retina, we believe that an eye examination is more than just a vision check, it is a comprehensive assessment of your systemic health.

This New Year, look beyond the surface.

Schedule your 2026 Longevity Scan at Asia Retina today and understand your body’s true biological clock.

In sunny Singapore, our eyes get year-round UV exposure. Over time, this can contribute to cataract formation, especially as we age.

🔹 What are cataracts?

A gradual clouding of the natural lens inside the eye. Very common with ageing, and influenced by factors like UV exposure, smoking and diabetes.

🔹 Simple ways to protect your eyes:
Wear sunglasses that block 100% UVA & UVB when outdoors Add a wide-brimmed hat or cap for extra shade If you wear glasses, ask about UV-protective lenses

➡️ Cataracts are a normal part of ageing, but protecting your eyes from UV is a practical way to support lens health in a tropical climate.

⚠️ If you notice glare, haloes at night or blurred vision affecting daily life, you can book a comprehensive cataract evaluation with our team at Asia Retina.

Diabetes does not only affect blood sugar. It can quietly damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, often without any early warning symptoms.

🔹What is diabetic retinopathy?

A diabetes-related condition where blood vessels at the back of the eye become leaky, swollen or blocked.

In more advanced stages it can cause bleeding, scarring, and loss of vision.

🔹Who is at higher risk?
People with diabetes of longer duration. Those with suboptimal blood sugar, blood pressure or cholesterol control. Individuals who do not attend regular eye screening.

🔹 What you may (not) feel:
Early diabetic retinopathy often causes no pain and no change in vision. By the time vision is affected, the disease may already be more advanced. Regular dilated eye examinations can detect changes at a stage where treatment is more effective.

In a country where diabetes is common, eye screening is an essential part of diabetes care, not an optional extra.

If you or a loved one has diabetes, save and share this as a reminder to book a yearly eye check.

You can schedule a comprehensive diabetic eye examination with Asia Retina to assess the health of your retina and discuss individual risk factors.

News: Did you know that in Singapore, artificial intelligence (AI) is already helping to read retinal photos for people living with diabetes?

🔹 What is SiDRP?

The Singapore Integrated Diabetic Retinopathy Programme brings regular retinal screening into polyclinics and community clinics for people with diabetes.

🔹How AI helps:

Retinal photographs are first analysed by an AI system that can flag signs of diabetic retinopathy and some other eye changes.

Large local studies have shown these systems can detect referable diabetic retinopathy with over 90% sensitivity and specificity, helping to prioritise patients who need earlier specialist review.

AI supports the process, but does not replace a full eye examination by an ophthalmologist when needed.

🔹Why this matters?

Makes screening more accessible and convenient

Helps pick up problems earlier, often before you notice changes in vision

If you live with diabetes, ask your doctor about your last retinal screening and when your next one is due.

For a detailed retinal eye exam and long-term eye health plan, you can book a consultation with our team at Asia Retina.

How much screen time is “normal” for Singapore kids… and how much is actually recommended for healthy eyes?

What the Ministry of Health and the Heath Promotion Board recommend outside schoolwork and we support from Asia Retina:

▫️Under 18 months:

Ideally no screen time, except occasional video calls.

➡️ Local studies suggest that by preschool age, almost all children are already using screens for >1 hour/day, averaging about 3.8 hours daily.

▫️Pre-schoolers (≈18 months–6 years):

Short, supervised use and

You do not need to surf to develop “surfer’s eye”. In hot, sunny places like Singapore, Pterygium is actually quite common.

Pterygium is a benign, wedge-shaped growth on the white of the eye that can slowly grow towards the cornea. It is often associated with chronic UV exposure, wind and dust.

You may notice:
▫️A flesh-coloured bump on the white of the eye
▫️Redness, irritation, dryness or a “gritty” feeling
▫️In some cases, if it grows towards the centre, it can affect vision or cause astigmatism

People who work or exercise outdoors without eye protection may be at higher risk in Singapore.

Pterygium is not a cancer, but it can be uncomfortable and occasionally affect vision.

An early eye assessment helps decide whether monitoring, lubricant drops, UV protection or surgery is appropriate.

If you see a persistent bump or redness on the white of your eye, do not ignore it.

Save this post, share it with someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, and book an eye examination with our team at Asia Retina for a proper evaluation.

Outdoor time as a “Myopia Medicine” in Singapore.

In a country with one of the highest myopia (short-sightedness) rates in the world, one simple daily habit keeps showing up in studies: time outdoors.

🔹Why daylight matters?

Natural outdoor light is much brighter than indoor light.

🔹What studies suggest for children?

More time outdoors is linked with a lower risk of developing myopia.

For children who are already myopic, outdoor play is a simple, non-invasive habit that may help support myopia control alongside medical management.

🔹Practical ideas for Singapore families

Aim for some outdoor play every day where possible (even short blocks add up).

Turn homework breaks into a quick walk downstairs or playground time.

Keep screens indoors and make the outdoors a “screen-light” zone.

Outdoor time is not a cure, but it is a powerful lifestyle habit that can support healthier eyes for children growing up in an urban, high-myopia environment like Singapore.

Tag a parent who is trying to balance homework, tuition and outdoor play, and save this as a reminder for school holidays.

If you are concerned about your child’s myopia or your family history, book a comprehensive myopia evaluation with our team at Asia Retina.

What is digital eye fatigue doing to your brain?
It’s not just your eyes that get tired, it’s your brain too.

When you stare at screens for long hours, your eyes must constantly adjust to brightness, contrast, and focus distance.

This continuous strain sends mixed visual signals to your brain, forcing it to work harder to interpret what you see.

Over time, this can lead to:

* Headaches or a heavy feeling behind the eyes
* Trouble focusing after screen use
* Visual discomfort, neck tension, or fatigue

💫 Remember: your eyes capture but your brain sees.

Taking regular visual breaks allows both to rest and reset.

If symptoms persist, a comprehensive digital eye strain assessment can identify the cause and help restore comfort.
