Glaucoma is a condition that damages the eyeโ€™s optic nerve, typically caused by fluid build-up in the front of the eye that increases eye pressure.

As a silent thief of sight, glaucoma can develop slowly with no noticeable symptoms in the early stages; however, this condition can result in progressive and irreversible vision loss, if left untreated.

Fortunately, with early detection and intervention, the progression of glaucoma can be slowed to preserve vision.

Dry eye disease (DES) refers to the lack of lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye, which can make the eyes more prone to irritation, infection, or even impaired vision in severe cases.

As children may not always voice their discomfort, it is imperative that parents keep a lookout for subtle signs to prevent further vision problems and ensure timely management for their children.

Should you notice any of these signs in your child, consult with a paediatric ophthalmologist. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฒ

Itโ€™s common for people to dismiss changes in their vision, thinking itโ€™s simply a part of ageing.

However, in reality, most eye diseases progress silently with no warning signs, and by the time symptoms appear, the damage may already be irreversible.

That is why regular eye screenings are important. With detailed screening, patients can be made aware of any vision changes or underlying risk factors, allowing immediate and appropriate treatment to be made to prevent further vision loss.

For adults aged 18-60, a comprehensive eye exam is recommended once every two years.

For those above the age of 60, with a family history of eye conditions, or are with past eye infections, annual screenings are recommended.

To schedule an eye screening, contact our ophthalmology clinic at ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฒ today.

Strabismus, or crossed eyes, refers to the misalignment of the eyes and is usually seen in children.

While strabismus can affect oneโ€™s appearance, the misalignment of the eyes can also affect the quality of vision.

Over time, untreated strabismus could result in the loss of depth perception and affect peripheral vision, or cause the child to develop lazy eye.

Early treatment is imperative to correct strabismus and prevent further complications. Should your child display signs of strabismus (misaligned eyes, unusual head tilting or squinting), arrange for a detailed assessment with our experienced paediatric ophthalmologist. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฒ

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) occurs when the macula or central part of the retina is damaged, commonly caused by ageing.

There are two main types of age-related macular degeneration:

๐——๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—”๐— ๐——: Usually more common as it accounts for over 80% of cases, and can be managed with good lifestyle changes and nutritional supplements.

๐—ช๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—”๐— ๐——: A more advanced form of AMD that requires prompt treatment as leaking blood vessels beneath the retina can cause irreversible vision loss.

If you are experiencing dark spots, blurred central vision and distorted vision, seek prompt medical attention from an ophthalmologist. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฒ

As diabetic retinopathy could cause changes to the blood vessels that make them swell or leak fluid, or result in the abnormal growth of new blood vessels on the retina, prompt detection and intervention become all the more important.

With regular eye checks, diabetic retinopathy can be detected early and treated through various means, including laser pan-retinal photocoagulation, focal laser, vitrectomy and eye injections to slow disease progression and protect vision.

Dr Leo Seo Wei has over 20 years of experience helping diabetic patients regain and preserve vision. If you or a loved one is diabetic, reach out to schedule a consultation with us today. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฒ

When it comes to surgical treatment of cataracts, bladeless cataract surgery yields good outcomes with increased safety and precision, while offering lower risk of complications.

Having completed two clinical fellowships in the United States, ๐——๐—ฟ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ผ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ผ ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—ถ has in-depth expertise in the field of cataract surgery, whether conventional or advanced bladeless cataract procedure.

She is also one of the few local ophthalmologists trained in the latest trifocal implant lens cataract procedure, and has since helped more than 5000 cataract patients regain clear vision.

When it comes to treating myopia in children, atropine eye drops have been proven to be an effective treatment in controlling myopia progression.

Low-dose atropine eye drops are especially suitable for Asian children, who tend to be at higher risk of developing myopia.

Studies have also shown that low-dose atropine eye drops not only slow down the rate of myopia progression but also carry minimal side effects such as near-blur and glare.

If your child is myopic, consult with our paediatric ophthalmologist Dr Leo Seo Wei to find out if atropine eye drops may be a suitable option. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฒ

Amblyopia is a common condition in young children where one eye is used more than the other, causing reduced vision and poor depth perception in the neglected eye.

The neglect of the weaker eye can be attributed to several causes, which include:

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—บ๐˜‚๐˜€
A misalignment of the eyes, causes the brain to ignore images perceived by the misaligned eye

Obstacles like droopy eyelids, cataract, or blood at the back of the eye prevent light from entering the eye
