Ever heard of microsporidia keratitis? 👀

Need another reason to stop rubbing your eyes? Here’s one 🚨

Dr Don shares a fascinating case of a patient whose lens became dislocated (subluxed) after repeated violent sneezes and constant eye rubbing — leading to a sharp decline in vision.

While a simple surgery restored his sight, this serves as a strong reminder: don’t rub your eyes! And if you have an artificial lens that isn’t working as well as before, book your check-up ASAP.

Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) Lenses: See More, See Clearer 👁️

Noticing cloudy vision or struggling to drive at night? These could be early signs of cataracts. Cataract surgery with EDOF lenses can help you see clearly across distances, with fewer side effects than traditional lenses.

Why Choose EDOF Lenses?
EDOF lenses offer smooth, sharp vision from far to mid-range, with fewer issues like glare or halos. Perfect for drivers and active adults who want more freedom from glasses.

In Singapore, there are 3 main lens options:
✔️ Monofocal: Clear at one distance, but you’ll still need glasses for near work.
✔️ Multifocal: See near, mid, and far — but may cause glare or halos.
✔️ EDOF: Smooth, natural vision across distances with fewer side effects.

🕒 When to get checked?
If you’re over 50, or under 50 with diabetes or a family history of eye conditions like glaucoma, it’s best to book your eye screening early.
