NUH Ophthalmology offers a comprehensive range of sub-specialties, diagnostic and therapeutic services for both adults and children. Our approach involves unique multi-disciplinary and multi-modality methodologies. We work closely with other specialties to provide comprehensive patient services and treatments. Here is an overview of our services:
Cataract, a common condition associated with aging, occurs when proteins in the eye's native lens change shape and clump together resulting in clouding of the lens. Our skilled ophthalmologists use advanced surgical techniques, including such phacoemulsification and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, and offer a selection of various intra-ocular lenses (IOLs) to address diverse vision needs.

We provide patient care and treatment for common eye conditions and diseases, such as Diabetic Retinopathy, Red Eye, Chalazion and Myopia.
The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye. It plays a crucial role in focusing light and maintaining visual clarity. Our cornea specialists are experienced in treating various eye disorders, from common conditions such as keratitis and corneal abrasion to the more complex ones such as pterygium. We also have a contact lens clinic for patients who require customised contact lens and a service providing comprehensive treatment for dry eyes. Click here to find out more about our cornea doctors.
Glaucoma, commonly known as the "silent thief of sight", often shows no symptoms during its early stages.
