Went for a consultation with Dr Por due to dry eyes after lasik (from another clinic) and Dr Por was extremely patient and assuring. He loves to smile. Unlike other doctors, Dr Por took the time to answer your questions and was not rushed with the consultation at all. The procedure ...

I've just completed the trans-PRK Lasik procedure with Dr Por. From my initial enquiry on this DxD site, what really made a difference was how Dr Por replied to my enquiry personally and promptly answered my subsequent emails, never missing a single one. Am thankful for his patience and attention t...

Does Blue LED Light In Facial Treatments Pose A Health Risk?
These days, you can find an assortment of facial treatments out there, many of which use various forms of technology to deal with acne, improve skin quality and manage scars according to severity.
Some may work better than others while some are considered dangerous and inauthentic options that aren't worth the risk.
Many medi-spas and salons provide blue LED lights as part of facial treatment. Many people, however, typically associate blue light from electronics like laptops or mobile phones with detriment to the skin.
So, what's the difference? Are there any harmful side effects? Dr Por Yong Ming, elaborated and here's what he said.
Dry Eyes After LASIK: A Singapore Eye Doctor Discusses Solutions
Sight is a precious sense because we perceive up to 80% of all impressions by means of our sight. Unfortunately, many of us take your eyesight for granted! 83% of young Singaporean adults are myopic. This is why LASIK surgery is so popular in Singapore.
While LASIK surgery can put an end to your short-sightedness, it also creates new problems such as dry eyes. DoctorxDentist invited Dr Por Yong Ming, an experienced eye surgeon, to share his expert opinions on dry eyes after LASIK through a DoctorxDentist Session.
Ask Dr Por Yong Ming: Dry Eyes & LASIK
Dry eyes is the most common complication after LASIK. However, did you know that LASIK itself often isn't the cause of dry eyes? Most of these patients already suffer from dry eyes even before their LASIK procedure.
If you are considering LASIK but worried about suffering from dry eyes, join Dr Por Yong Ming as he hosts a QnA session where he answers all your questions on dry eyes and LASIK.
7 Myopia Prevention Myths, Debunked
By 2050, 5 million Singaporeans will be myopic. 15% of this group will have high myopia, which is defined as having a prescription above 500 degrees. It's associated with serious eye conditions, such as retinal detachment, cataracts and glaucoma.
Children who develop myopia by preschool or primary school are at an increased risk of high myopia in adulthood. The key to reducing high myopia is to delay early onset myopia in children.
An Eye Surgeon's Guide To Reducing Singapore's Shortsightedness Problem (2019)
Singapore has one of the world’s highest rates of myopia (or shortsightedness). We spend $311.5 million on prescription glasses each year.
More than HALF of us wear glasses by the time we are 12, compared to less than 20% for rest of the world.
Now here's the deal - the earlier in life you start becoming shortsighted, the higher your final spectacle degree tends to be. High myopia can give rise to other problems, such as an increased risk of retinal detachments, and an earlier onset of cataracts.

It depends on: the size, location, depth of the scar and whether/how much associated corneal thinning there is. In general, some form of laser refractive surgery (LASIK or PRK) can be considered if the best vision with spectacles is normal (6/6) and the scar is ...

Cataract surgery nowadays is also 'refractive surgery' ie, it aims to minimise refractive errors (long/shortsightedness and astigmatism), or perhaps to target a certain refractive error like low myopia depending on the individual patient's preferences. In this way, cataract surgery aims to a...

Spots on the eye can be several different conditions, and the risks involved depend on what the spot is or what it is suspected to be. It is not possible to give a diagnosis based on a photograph, and hence you need to see a doctor if you want to know the risks specifically for your...

The brown spot is most likely a nevus (mole), and as far as I know there is no non-surgical method to remove such a nevus on the conjunctiva of the eye.

Eyelashes that grow inwards rather than outwards can indeed irritate the eye by rubbing it whenever the eyelid blinks or the eye moves. If that is the case, the offending eyelash can often be seen if you look closely at the mirror. Of course, that may not be easy if you are presbyopic/have Lao Hua....

Hi, although you've sent a pretty good picture, it's a bit difficult to say for sure what it is based on the picture alone. One possibility, especially if it has been there for years with no change, is of a 'mole' or naevus. Assuming that it is a naevus, such lesions are harmless and represent onl...
