Your eyelids are more than a cosmetic feature, they protect, lubricate, and shield the eyes. But when they lose their natural position, problems arise.

Ptosis, commonly called droopy eyelid, is not just about looks. When the upper eyelid falls lower than normal, it can interfere with vision, cause eye strain, and affect confidence. Ptosis can affect one or both eyes, and its severity ranges from mild drooping to complete eyelid closure.

Some eye conditions develop slowly. Retinal detachment is not one of them. When the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye, pulls away from its normal position, it puts vision at immediate risk.

As we age, our eyes go through natural changes. But some conditions go beyond the normal aging process. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is one of them. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision, and gradually reduces the ability to read, drive, and recognize faces.

Diabetes is not just about blood sugar control. Over time, high glucose levels can silently damage the delicate blood vessels in the back of the eye, leading to diabetic retinopathy. It is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness among working-age adults worldwide, including Singapore.

Presbyopia is a natural part of ageing that affects nearly everyone after the age of 40. It occurs when the eye’s lens gradually loses flexibility, making it harder to focus on nearby objects. Suddenly, tasks like reading menus, threading a needle, or scrolling on your phone may feel frustrating without holding items at arm’s length.

Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it causes gradual vision loss without obvious early symptoms. By the time patients notice changes, significant and irreversible damage to the optic nerve may already have occurred.
