Cataract refers to the clouding of the native lens of the human eye and is a common condition faced by the elderly. As we age, the protein in our lens may gradually change in shape and clump together to cloud the lens. Our ophthalmologists are skilled in the treatment of cataracts and we offer advanced surgical techniques such as phacoemulsification and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, as well as a range of intra-ocular lenses (IOLs) to suit your vision needs.

Cornea is the transparent front part of the eye which plays a crucial role in focusing light and maintaining visual clarity. Our cornea specialists are experienced in treating a wide range of eye disorders from common issues such as keratitis and corneal abrasion to more complex conditions such as pterygium.
