Our doctors and colleagues recently attended the 4th EVO ICL APAC Experts Summit in Guangzhou, joining ophthalmologists from across the Asia-Pacific region for clinical discussions on refractive surgery developments.

The summit brought together specialists to exchange perspectives on current approaches in vision correction, including lens-based and corneal-based options, and to review long-term clinical data presented by regional colleagues.
Continuing education and peer exchange remain an important part of how our team stays current with evolving clinical evidence. We're glad Dr Julian Theng could represent Eagle Eye Centre and contribute to the regional dialogue.

Your sports gear protects your body, but what about your eyes? 👀

Whether you play badminton, football, tennis, basketball, cycle outdoors or hit the gym, your eyes may be exposed to impact, UV rays, dust, glare and contact lens-related discomfort.

This Sports & Safety Month, take a few small steps to protect your vision:

✅ Wear protective eyewear where appropriate
✅ Use UV-protective sunglasses for outdoor sports
✅ Practise good contact lens hygiene
✅ Avoid wearing contact lenses while swimming
✅ Replace scratched or damaged eyewear
✅ Go for regular eye checks if your vision feels blurry or uncomfortable

For those who feel that glasses or contact lenses get in the way during sports, a refractive evaluation can also help assess whether options such as LASIK, SMILE, PRK / Epi-LASIK or ICL may be suitable.

Suitability for refractive surgery depends on individual eye condition and clinical assessment. Further consultation with an eye doctor may be recommended where appropriate.

我们很高兴与大家分享，Eagle Eye Centre 的 潘俊荣医生 和 张洸玮医生 获《联合早报》今日报道采访，提醒公众关注非法隐形眼镜的风险，以及正确佩戴和护理隐形眼镜的重要性。

文章提到，新加坡在加强执法及与电商平台合作后，2025年被下架的非法隐形眼镜产品数量减少了三分之二。不过，医生也提醒，因隐形眼镜引发的眼部并发症在临床上仍不少见。

在报道中，潘俊荣医生指出，非法产品下架数量下降，说明执法和平台合作已见成效，是令人鼓舞的现象。他也提醒，这并不代表实际发生率同样下降，因为许多隐形眼镜相关并发症未必会被正式通报。

张洸玮医生则在报道中解释，来历不明的隐形眼镜风险较高，可能与制造或包装过程缺乏卫生与品质保障有关。他也提醒公众留意常见症状，包括眼红、异物感、视力模糊和流泪增加。

两位医生都提醒公众，隐形眼镜属于医疗器材，不应被当作普通美容用品随意使用。若佩戴后出现疼痛、眼红、视力模糊、流泪，或发现黑眼珠出现白点，应立即停戴，并尽快求医。

Our Director of Glaucoma Services, Dr Desmond Quek, and Director of Optometry, Shandy, spent time with the team at Great Eastern yesterday, sharing on common vision issues and what to look out for.

A few simple reminders:

👓 Blurred vision isn’t just one thing
It could be ageing eyes, cataracts, or even glaucoma — which can be silent early on.

⏳ Don’t wait for symptoms
A quick eye check can catch issues early and protect your vision.

🛡️ Know your coverage
Understanding your insurance makes it easier to take action when needed.

Thanks to Great Eastern for having us; always good to help more people stay on top of their eye health.

A recent Straits Times LIFE article published today highlights how glaucoma can develop quietly, often without obvious symptoms in its early stages.

Read the full article here: https://www.straitstimes.com/life/when-blurry-vision-is-not-just-eye-strain-5-things-to-know-about-glaucoma

The article also features insights from Dr Desmond Quek, Director of Glaucoma Services at Eagle Eye Centre, on how glaucoma develops and why early detection is so important.

Regular comprehensive eye examinations are especially important for individuals aged 40 and above, as well as those with risk factors such as a family history of glaucoma, high myopia, diabetes, eye trauma, obstructive sleep apnoea, or long-term steroid use.

The key takeaway is simple: do not wait for symptoms to appear before getting your eyes checked.

👀 Blurry vision is not always just eye strain.

Glaucoma can develop silently, often without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. That is why regular eye examinations are important, especially for those aged 40 and above, or individuals with risk factors such as a family history of glaucoma, high myopia, diabetes, previous eye trauma, or long-term steroid use.

⏳ Do not wait for symptoms to appear. Early detection matters.

A 40something woman was thought to be too young for glaucoma but more people below age 60 are being diagnosed with glaucoma in Singapore. Risk factors include age, genetics and chronic diseases. Regular eye exams are recommended. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Vision is something we often take for granted… until it’s at risk.

When actor Elvin Ng experienced a retinal emergency, timely care made all the difference. With the expertise of Dr Paul Zhao, a vitreoretinal surgeon experienced in treating complex retinal conditions, his vision was preserved.

This story is a reminder that symptoms like sudden flashes, floaters, or shadows in vision should never be ignored. Early evaluation by an eye specialist can be critical in protecting sight.

Your vision matters. If something doesn’t feel right, get it checked.

What is retinal detachment and how is it linked to severe myopia? Experts break down why it happens, the telltale symptoms and why urgent treatment is critical.
