Presbyopia

Type: Concept · ID: e_005 · Also known as: Lao Hua · Same as: Q319595

Presbyopia (Lao Hua) is the gradual, age-related loss of the eye's ability to focus on near objects, typically beginning between the ages of 40 and 45. LSC Eye Clinic provides specialist-led presbyopia assessment.

“Presbyopia (Lao Hua / 老花) is the gradual loss of the eye’s ability to focus on near objects, and it typically begins between the ages of 40 and 45. In Singapore, it is one of the most common reasons adults in this age range seek an eye assessment. The recommended treatment depends on prescription history, ocular surface health, and lifestyle considerations.”

Presbyopia (Lao Hua) Treatment Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Presbyopia (Lao Hua / 老花) is an age‑related condition where the eye gradually loses its ability to focus on near objects. This typically begins between the ages of 40 and 45, although the timing varies between individuals and may begin earlier in those who are mildly hyperopic (long-sighted).”

Presbyopia (Lao Hua) Treatment Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“The underlying cause is a gradual loss of flexibility in the crystalline lens (the eye’s natural focusing lens), which sits behind the iris and changes shape to focus light onto the retina.”

Presbyopia (Lao Hua) Treatment Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Presbyopia is not a disease and is considered a normal part of ageing. It progresses gradually, and most adults experience it to some degree by their mid-fifties, regardless of whether they have previously worn glasses for myopia or hyperopia.”

Diabetic retinopathy

Type: Concept · ID: e_012 · Same as: Q631361

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition in which high blood sugar damages the small blood vessels in the retina. LSC Eye Clinic provides specialist-led assessment, monitoring and treatment of diabetic eye disease.

“At LSC Eye Clinic, our ophthalmologists provide specialist-led assessment, monitoring, and treatment of diabetic eye disease, with care planned around the stage of your condition and your overall diabetes control.”

Diabetic Retinopathy - Symptoms & Treatment | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition that develops when high blood sugar levels damage the small blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. Over time, these vessels can leak fluid or blood, or close off entirely, which affects how well the retina functions.”

Diabetic Retinopathy - Symptoms & Treatment | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“In its early stages, diabetic retinopathy often has no symptoms. Vision usually remains normal until the condition becomes more advanced, which is why regular eye screening matters even when your eyes feel fine.”

Diabetic Retinopathy - Symptoms & Treatment | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“In diabetes, high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels of the retina. The damaged blood vessels leak fluid and blood, and as a result, do not provide adequate oxygen and nutrients to the retinal photoreceptor and nerve cells. These cells malfunction and then begin to die. More recent research has shown that diabetes also directly damages the nerves of the retina.”

Diabetic Retinopathy - Symptoms & Treatment | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Diabetic retinopathy is best managed by an ophthalmologist with experience in retinal disease. A diabetic eye specialist can examine the retina in detail, identify the stage of the condition, and plan monitoring or treatment based on what is found.”

Glaucoma

Type: Concept · ID: e_013 · Same as: Q159701

Glaucoma is a long-term eye condition in which optic nerve damage can lead to gradual loss of vision, often associated with raised intraocular pressure. LSC Eye Clinic provides glaucoma treatment with ongoing assessment and monitoring.

“Glaucoma is a long-term eye condition that requires ongoing assessment, treatment and monitoring. At LSC Eye Clinic, our glaucoma eye specialists provide personalised glaucoma treatment, with care plans built around the type of glaucoma, the stage of the condition and individual eye anatomy.”

Glaucoma Causes & Treatment at LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Glaucoma is often associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP), but it can also occur in individuals with normal eye pressure. There are many other factors that can cause glaucoma, increased in IOP is not the sole or primary cause but a major risk factor.”

Glaucoma Causes & Treatment at LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“As the disease progresses, the eye’s optic nerve, which sends images to the brain, becomes damaged and can lead to gradual loss of vision. If left untreated, it may eventually lead to significant vision loss or blindness. Glaucoma typically causes peripheral (side) vision loss first, with central vision becoming affected only in the later stages.”

Glaucoma Causes & Treatment at LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“The effects of glaucoma are irreversible. Therefore, it is recommended to have regular eye checks at least once every one to two years (or as advised by our eye care professional), especially if you have one or more risk factors. With early detection and treatment, you can protect your eyes against serious vision loss.”

Glaucoma Causes & Treatment at LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type. It is largely related to age and therefore results in a chronic condition. Due to the natural aging process, the drainage process gradually becomes less efficient over time, even when the channels are opened. This causes the fluid to be retained in the eye and with time, the build-up increases the pressure within the eyeball. There are usually no symptoms presented in such cases.”

Age-related macular degeneration

Type: Concept · ID: e_014 · Also known as: AMD · Same as: Q830308

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an age-related disease affecting the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. LSC Eye Clinic provides AMD eye treatment with personalised assessment and long-term monitoring.

“Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. At LSC Eye Clinic, our eye specialists provide AMD eye treatment with personalised assessment, treatment and long-term monitoring across both dry and wet forms of the condition.”

Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treatment | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an age-related disease affecting the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp and detailed vision. Symptoms associated with AMD are distortions of central vision, such as seeing that words that appear wavy in the central area of a sentence when reading.”

Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treatment | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“The symptoms are blurred central vision, straight lines appearing wavy, dark patches in central vision. AMD can make everyday activities such as reading, recognising faces and driving more difficult.”

Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treatment | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Only about 10% of AMD are the wet type. However, some patients with dry AMD may eventually lead to wet AMD, which is often associated with a more sudden drop in eyesight, caused by leakage and bleeding from abnormal retinal blood vessels at the macular area. Wet AMD requires prompt treatment involving photodynamic treatment, laser or injectable anti-vascular endothelial growth factors, to prevent further damage from bleeding vessels, and irreversible central visual loss from macular scarring.”

Keratoconus

Type: Concept · ID: e_015 · Same as: Q611984

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition in which the cornea thins and bulges outward into a cone shape. LSC Eye Clinic assesses and treats it through specialist ophthalmologists with experience in corneal conditions.

“Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition in which the cornea (the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye) gradually thins and bulges outward into a cone shape. This change in corneal structure causes light entering the eye to be deflected unevenly, resulting in distorted and blurred vision.”

Cornea Keratoconus Treatment in Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“In a healthy eye, the cornea maintains a regular, rounded shape that focuses light accurately onto the retina. In keratoconus, the corneal tissue weakens over time, causing it to thin and protrude forward.”

Cornea Keratoconus Treatment in Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“The condition typically presents during the teenage years or early adulthood and can affect one or both eyes. Where both eyes are involved, the degree of change often differs between them.”

Cornea Keratoconus Treatment in Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“An eye specialist is able to monitor the rate of change through serial corneal mapping, identify when treatment is needed to slow progression, and guide decisions about vision correction options suited to the current severity of the condition.”

Cornea Keratoconus Treatment in Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Routine glasses prescription updates alone do not address the underlying corneal changes. Instead, specialist assessment allows for corneal collagen cross-linking treatment of keratoconus to be considered at an appropriate stage, before significant structural changes occur.”

Pterygium

Type: Concept · ID: e_016 · Same as: Q1862972

A pterygium is a fleshy, pinkish growth on the white of the eye that can slowly extend onto the cornea. LSC Eye Clinic covers its assessment, monitoring and surgical removal.

“Pterygium treatment at LSC Eye Clinic covers the assessment, monitoring and surgical removal of pterygium, a growth on the surface of the eye that can affect comfort, vision and appearance. Care is led by specialist ophthalmologists in Singapore.”

Pterygium Surgery and Treatment Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“A pterygium (from the Greek word for “little wing”) is a fleshy, pinkish growth that forms on the white of the eye. It usually develops on the side closer to the nose and can slowly extend onto the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye).”

Pterygium Surgery and Treatment Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“The growth begins on the conjunctiva (the thin membrane covering the white of the eye) and may spread towards the pupil. It can affect one eye or both, and is generally benign rather than cancerous. When it progresses towards the centre of the cornea, it can cause irritation and affect vision.”

Pterygium Surgery and Treatment Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Pterygium is common in countries near the equator, including Singapore, where sunlight is intense throughout the year. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun is considered the main cause, which is why the condition is sometimes called “Surfer’s Eye”.”

Pterygium Surgery and Treatment Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Not every pterygium needs immediate treatment. A small, stable pterygium that causes few symptoms can often be monitored over time, with regular checks to track whether it is growing.”

Dry eyes

Type: Concept · ID: e_017 · Also known as: Dry eye syndrome · Same as: Q18553790

Dry eye syndrome occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears, produce tears of poor quality, or when tears evaporate too quickly. LSC Eye Clinic's ophthalmologists assess the tear film and ocular surface to recommend a management plan.

“At LSC Eye Clinic, our ophthalmologists assess each patient’s tear film and ocular surface to identify the underlying cause of dry eye and recommend an appropriate management plan. If your eyes feel persistently dry, irritated, or uncomfortable, a proper evaluation is the first step toward relief.”

Dry Eyes - Causes & Symptoms | LSC Eye Clinic Singapore — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Dry eye syndrome occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears, produce tears of poor quality, or when tears evaporate too quickly from the eye surface. Tears are not simply water; they are a structured film composed of three layers: an oily outer layer, a watery middle layer, and a mucus inner layer. When any of these layers is disrupted, the result can be discomfort, visual disturbance, and surface irritation.”

Dry Eyes - Causes & Symptoms | LSC Eye Clinic Singapore — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Dry eye is more common than many people realise, and its severity can range from mild intermittent symptoms to chronic discomfort that affects daily activities. Because different causes require different approaches, a thorough assessment by an eye specialist is important before starting any form of treatment.”

Dry Eyes - Causes & Symptoms | LSC Eye Clinic Singapore — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Many people manage dry eye symptoms on their own with over-the-counter eye drops, but this approach has its limits. Lubricating drops can provide temporary relief, but they do not address the root cause of the condition. Without understanding what is driving the dryness, symptoms are likely to persist or worsen over time.”

Dry Eyes - Causes & Symptoms | LSC Eye Clinic Singapore — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Air-Conditioning and Environment: Singapore’s heavily air-conditioned indoor environments result in reduced humidity which tends to accelerate tear evaporation. This is one of the most common contributing factors locally.”

Floaters and flashes

Type: Concept · ID: e_018 · Same as: Q142807

Floaters are moving spots, threads or shapes in vision that develop when something disturbs the vitreous gel inside the eye. LSC Eye Clinic assesses and treats vitreous floaters and flashes.

“LSC Eye Clinic assesses and treats vitreous floaters and flashes. Evaluation is specialist-led: floaters and flashes are evaluated by ophthalmologists with a focus on the retina, to establish whether they are harmless or signal a retinal tear, detachment, or bleeding inside the eye. Located at Paragon Medical, LSC Eye Clinic provides individualised floater assessments and recommends treatment tailored to your symptoms, only when it is clinically needed.”

Eye Floaters & Flashes - What Should I Do | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Some patients may experience seeing floating particles in their vision, often described as small moving spots, threads, cobweb-like shapes, rings or shadows. These eye floaters are usually more obvious when observed against a white wall or bright sky. They represent shadows cast onto the retina by the lining of the vitreous gel that has detached from the retina. The vitreous gel is what fills the core of the eye, and the natural ageing process can lead to posterior vitreous detachment. This can also be precipitated by eye trauma.”

Eye Floaters & Flashes - What Should I Do | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Long-standing floaters and flashes that have not changed are generally harmless but they can be bothersome. However, a sudden increase in floaters, or floaters with flashing lights should be assessed by an eye specialist because the same posterior vitreous detachment that produces them can also tug hard enough on the retina to create a retinal break. A break can be sealed with laser retinopexy, but if it progresses to a retinal detachment, vision can be permanently lost without prompt surgical repair.”

Eye Floaters & Flashes - What Should I Do | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Floaters can also signal bleeding inside the eye (vitreous haemorrhage) or inflammation. About 2% of patients experiencing posterior vitreous detachment go on to have a retinal break, which is why all patients experiencing new floaters and flashes should have a full eye check with dilated retinal examination to rule out a retinal tear or detachment.”

Eye Floaters & Flashes - What Should I Do | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“The vitreous gel inside the eye gradually liquefies and shrinks with age. As it pulls away from the retina, a process called posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), it can produce floaters.”

LASIK

Type: Service · ID: e_002

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) uses a laser to reshape the cornea so that light is focused correctly onto the retina. LSC Eye Clinic provides a range of LASIK options, including customised treatments.

“LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis, a procedure that involves the use of a laser to reshape the cornea of the eye so that light traveling through is properly focused onto the retina for a sharp and clear image. This improves refractive capability and allows varying degrees of myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness) and astigmatism (“san guang”) to be corrected.”

LASIK Surgery Singapore & Types of LASIK | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“LASIK surgery has also advanced steadily over the years. The technology used to measure refractive errors prior to surgery has been progressing and laser correction can now be optimised for different patient needs. At LSC Eye Clinic, we provide an extensive range of refractive surgeries, from flap-based to flap-less, so patients are able to choose the treatment which suits them best.”

LASIK Surgery Singapore & Types of LASIK | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“LASIK is performed with numbing eye drops and both eyes are usually treated at the same time. You will need to be awake during the procedure to focus on the centre of a blinking light. There will be a special instrument to hold your eyelids to prevent your eyes from closing when you blink during the surgery. The actual surgery for each eye takes between 5-10 minutes while the entire process may take around 20-30 minutes.”

LASIK Surgery Singapore & Types of LASIK | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“This refers to a LASIK treatment that is customised for an individual. It includes mapping with iris registration to capture specific characteristics and unique imperfections in an individual’s eyes to accurately align each Customised LASIK treatment for precise and accurate LASIK correction.

ZEISS PRESBYOND

Type: Service · ID: e_004

ZEISS PRESBYOND is a form of LASIK designed specifically for presbyopia in patients aged 40 to 60. It is a laser blended vision approach offered at LSC Eye Clinic.

“At LSC Eye Clinic, we provide specialist-led presbyopia assessment and a range of treatment options for near vision correction. These include ZEISS PRESBYOND laser blended vision, monovision LASIK, and lens-based approaches where clinically indicated.”

Presbyopia (Lao Hua) Treatment Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“ZEISS PRESBYOND is a form of LASIK designed specifically for presbyopia in patients aged 40 to 60. It is performed using the ZEISS MEL 90® excimer laser, with a treatment profile calculated individually for each eye.”

Presbyopia (Lao Hua) Treatment Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“The approach is called laser blended vision because it combines a small intentional difference in correction between the two eyes (micro-anisometropia) with an extended depth of focus in each eye. The dominant eye is corrected for distance, the non-dominant eye to a slight myopic (short-sighted) setting of around -1.5 dioptres for near vision, and the focusing ranges overlap in an intermediate range called the Blend Zone.”

Presbyopia (Lao Hua) Treatment Singapore | LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“This differs from conventional monovision LASIK, where the difference between the eyes is larger (often up to -3.0 dioptres) and the intermediate range is typically left uncorrected, which not all patients adapt to comfortably.”

Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)

Type: Service · ID: e_006 · Also known as: ICL

ICL surgery is a non-laser vision correction procedure that places a biocompatible lens inside the eye to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It is offered at LSC Eye Clinic for myopia or astigmatism, subject to pre-surgical screening.

“Implantable Collamer lens (ICL) surgery is a non-laser procedure for vision correction that involves placing a biocompatible lens inside the eye to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Unlike laser procedures that reshape the cornea, ICL works by adding a corrective lens between the iris and the natural crystalline lens, leaving the eye’s existing structures intact.”

ICL Eye Surgery in Singapore | Implantable Collamer Lens at LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“It is an established option for patients with myopia or astigmatism, particularly those who have been assessed as unsuitable for laser-based procedures such as LASIK or ZEISS SMILE® pro. The procedure is performed as a day surgery and patients typically return home the same day.”

ICL Eye Surgery in Singapore | Implantable Collamer Lens at LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Implantable Collamer lenses are soft, flexible lenses made from Collamer, a proprietary material developed by STAAR Surgical that contains a small amount of collagen. This composition makes the lens biocompatible, meaning it is generally well-tolerated by the eye and does not need to be removed under normal circumstances.”

ICL Eye Surgery in Singapore | Implantable Collamer Lens at LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

“Classified as a phakic intraocular lens procedure, ICL is designed to remain in place long term. However, should the need arise, whether due to changes in prescription or other clinical reasons, the lens can be removed or replaced by a surgeon. Suitability for the procedure, and whether ICL or another option is more appropriate, is determined through a comprehensive eye assessment.”

ICL Eye Surgery in Singapore | Implantable Collamer Lens at LSC Eye Clinic — published by LSC Eye Clinic

Cataract surgery is a microincision day procedure that removes the clouded natural lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens. At LSC Eye Clinic it is performed by a cataract specialist with subspecialty training in lens implant surgery.

“Cataract surgery is a microincision day procedure that removes the cloudy natural lens of the eye and replaces it with an intraocular lens, restoring vision affected by cataract. It is performed when cataracts begin to affect daily activities such as reading, driving, or work.”

“A cataract is a condition in which the lens of the eye gradually becomes cloudy, reducing the amount of light reaching the retina and causing a gradual decline in vision. Cataracts develop over months or years and can affect one or both eyes.”

“Cataract treatment is available through clinical monitoring at earlier stages and through cataract surgery once vision is meaningfully affected. The procedure removes the clouded lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens (an artificial lens that takes on the focusing role of the natural lens).”

“Cataracts develop in most people as part of the natural ageing process and become increasingly common from the 60s onwards. Onset and progression vary between individuals and are influenced by several factors beyond age.”

“In earlier stages, cataract treatment in Singapore may involve clinical monitoring, updated glasses prescriptions, and improvements to lighting at home. Cataracts cannot be reversed by eye drops, supplements, or other non-surgical means. Once vision is meaningfully affected, cataract surgery becomes the appropriate option.”

Myopia control

Type: Service · ID: e_019

Myopia control aims to slow the rate at which myopia worsens over time, not to eliminate short-sightedness. LSC Eye Clinic provides myopia control in Singapore with personalised assessments and treatment options.

“Myopia, or short-sightedness, affects a significant proportion of children in Singapore and often begins during the primary school years. At LSC Eye Clinic, our specialists provide myopia control in Singapore, with personalised assessments and treatment options designed to slow progression and support long-term eye health.”

“Myopia is a refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while near objects remain clear. It develops when the eyeball grows longer than normal or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it.”

“Myopia often begins in childhood and tends to progress as the child grows. The earlier myopia develops, the more likely it is to reach higher degrees by adulthood. This is why early identification and management are an important part of paediatric eye care in Singapore.”

“Children with myopia may need glasses or contact lenses to see clearly at a distance. Myopia treatment in Singapore goes beyond simply correcting vision, focusing on slowing the rate at which myopia worsens over time.”

“Glasses and contact lenses correct blurry vision, but they do not slow the progress of myopia. Myopia control aims to address the progression itself, which carries longer-term implications for eye health.”

Astigmatism treatment

Type: Service · ID: e_020

Astigmatism treatment at LSC Eye Clinic falls into three paths: corrective eyewear, laser vision correction and lens-based procedures. The right approach depends on prescription strength, corneal shape and lifestyle.

“Astigmatism is a refractive error caused by an irregularly curved cornea or lens, and several treatment options are available in Singapore to correct the resulting blurred vision. The right approach depends on prescription strength, corneal shape, lifestyle, and overall eye health.”

“Treatment for astigmatism falls into three main paths: corrective eyewear, laser vision correction, and lens-based procedures. Suitability depends on the degree of astigmatism, corneal anatomy, prescription stability, and lifestyle considerations.”

“Spectacle lenses and toric contact lenses correct astigmatism by refracting light to match the eye’s irregular curvature. Both options provide convenient daily correction, although toric contacts require careful fitting and routine prescription updates. Long-term lens wear can also contribute to dry eye in some patients.”

“Laser vision correction reshapes the cornea to correct astigmatism, often alongside myopia or hyperopia. Available approaches at LSC Eye Clinic include LASIK, ZEISS SMILE® pro 2.0, and trans-PRK. Suitability depends on corneal thickness, corneal shape, prescription stability, and overall eye health.”

“Lens-based procedures are an alternative when laser correction is not advisable, such as in cases of very high astigmatism, thin corneas, or specific corneal conditions. Options may include Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) or other specialist-recommended approaches. The appropriate path is determined through a clinical assessment.”
