試想：如果我們能預防讓眼睛「不生病」，或至少「生病得更慢」，是否比僅在發病後治療更有價值？

Optometrists do so much more than just prescribe glasses or contact lenses. 👁️‍🗨️
We can often be the first line of defence in protecting sight — through early detection, preventive care, and guiding patients toward better long-term eye health.

As Singapore’s population ages and myopia continues to rise among children, optometrists have an even more meaningful role to play — supporting both the young and the elderly in maintaining clear, comfortable vision for life.

I truly hope to see optometrists participating more actively in caring for the eye health of Singaporeans and all residents, working together with the broader healthcare community for a healthier, brighter future. 🌿

🌿 Have we ever thought about how much nutrition our brain really needs?
As we age, malnutrition quietly increases the risk of both physical decline and dementia. Many elderly eat less — or eat foods low in key nutrients — without realizing the brain still needs fuel to think, remember, and feel. 🧠💭

Malnutrition doesn’t just mean “not eating enough.” It means not getting the right nutrients — the ones that keep our cells working, our minds sharp, and our mood stable.

So next time we look at our plate, let’s ask —
👉 Are we eating for our brain, or just our stomach?

✨ Healthy mind, healthy sight, healthy life.

Doctors are concerned about a greater risk of dementia or falls among seniors if the trend goes unchecked.

👀 Too much screen time is silently damaging our eyes.
What used to be “just fatigue” is now a growing public health issue linked to long-term vision problems. In Singapore, where screens dominate our daily lives, it’s time to rethink our habits before it’s too late.

Staring at screens for hours has become routine for many Singaporeans, and it's taking a toll on their eyes. Doctors warn that digital eye strain, once brushed off as fatigue, is now a growing public health issue linked to long-term vision problems.

👓✨ Throwback Moment! ✨👓

As an optometrist, one of my passions has always been looking at eye care beyond lenses and eye drops — exploring how nutrition can play a powerful role in protecting and supporting vision. 🌱👀

To deepen my knowledge, I pursued advanced training with the American Nutrition Association (ANA) and earned the Certified Personalized Nutrition Practitioner (CPNP) credential 🎓.

This journey allows me to combine optometry + nutritional health to create a more holistic approach — helping people not only see better, but also live healthier. 💪💚

Because good vision isn’t just about the eyes — it’s about the whole body working in harmony. 🌟

Walking into the pharmacy can feel overwhelming, but not all lutein is the same. Here’s how to tell the difference

👀 Have you ever had this experience?
Your eye specialist tells you: “You should take lutein supplements for your eyes.”

You walk into the pharmacy…
🤯 The shelves are packed with bottles. Different brands. Different prices.

You start asking yourself:
👉 “Should I just pick any one?”
👉 “Is the cheapest good enough?”
👉 “Or maybe the most expensive must be the best?”

👓 The Truth About Lutein

Not all lutein supplements are the same. The differences are in:

🌼 Source: High-quality marigold flowers → purer, more stable lutein. Low-quality marigold → weaker, breaks down faster.

🧪 Form: Free-form lutein is absorbed better than esterified lutein.

⚖️ Ratio: Science shows the macula needs both lutein and zeaxanthin (around 10:2).

✅ Quality Assurance: GMP certification + third-party testing ensures safety and consistency.

🌟 Takeaway

If you’ve ever felt confused like in the picture, remember this: Don’t just grab any lutein.

Choose one that’s clinically proven, scientifically backed, and optometrist recommended. Because when it comes to protecting your eyes, quality matters.

From Screens to Relief: How Astaxanthin Helps Your Eyes 👀

Tried eye drops, blue-light glasses, more sleep, or massages… but your eyes still feel tired? 😩
That’s because these don’t address the root cause: overworked ciliary muscles + oxidative stress in your eyes.

✨ Here’s how Astaxanthin can help where other methods fall short:
🔹 Relaxes the ciliary muscle → helps your eyes refocus faster.
🔹 Boosts blood flow → delivers more oxygen & nutrients to tired eyes.
🔹 Fights oxidative stress → protects against screen-related eye strain.
🔹 Clinically proven → 4–12 mg/day is an ideal amount to keep fatigue away.

💡 Not all supplements are the same. For safe and effective results, consult a nutritional optometrist or nutritionist.

Think about the eyes support they’ve been missing — inside and out. 👁✨

Will My Myopia Still Increase Even as an Adult?

In the eye exam room, I often hear patients exclaim:
🤯 'How is that possible? I'm already grown up, how can my myopia still be getting worse?'

The truth is, the eyes are just like other organs in our body. They don’t stop changing simply because we are older – they continue to reflect our lifestyle habits.

Why can adult myopia still progress?
1. Long screen time: Computers, phones, binge-watching dramas – hours at a stretch.
2. Lack of outdoor light: Adults also need natural light to relax the eyes.
3. Stress and late nights: The eyes are like 'overworked employees,' and eventually they protest.

Think of it in terms of other organs
- Eyes ≈ Stomach: Eating supper still causes bloating; staring at screens too long still causes blur.
- Eyes ≈ Muscles: Overtrain without rest and you’ll get injured; the eyes behave the same.
- Eyes ≈ Teeth: Cavities are not just for kids; myopia progression is not just for kids either.

Does surgery mean 'permanent stability'?
Many believe that LASIK, Smile, or ICL is a once-and-for-all solution. But surgery only 'adjusts the cornea or adds a lens' – it cannot freeze the eye from further elongation.

Just like:
- Weight-loss pills ≠ Permanent slimness: Stop the pills without changing habits, and the weight comes back.
- Exercise ≠ One-time effort: Work out one week, stop the next, and muscles shrink again.
- Myopia surgery ≠ Freeze the eyes: You may see clearly right after, but without good habits, progression can still return.

Wearing proper glasses is like giving your eyes the correct support.

👀 Still wondering if adults’ myopia can keep increasing?
Yes it can — but with the right habits, you can slow it down! 💪✨
Hope this clears up your doubts and keeps your vision on the bright side 🌟👓
