When should I see an eye specialist for cataract or glaucoma?

If you’re experiencing blurry vision, difficulty seeing at night, or a family history of glaucoma, it is advisable to consult an ophthalmologist. Patients aged 40 and above are also advised to undergo regular eye screening, particularly at specialised centres. Early treatment helps prevent vision loss.

What can I expect during cataract surgery?

Cataract surgery is a short outpatient procedure where the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear artificial lens. Dr Low tailors each surgery for optimal visual outcomes.

Is glaucoma a serious condition?

Yes. Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that damages the optic nerve, often without early symptoms. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss. Regular screening and early treatment—whether through eye drops, laser, or surgery—can help preserve your sight. Dr Low Jin Rong is an experienced glaucoma specialist offering both medical and surgical options.

What are the options for treating glaucoma?

Treatment depends on the type and stage of glaucoma. Dr Low offers - Medicated eye drops to reduce intraocular pressure; Laser treatment such as Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT); Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS); Conventional surgeries like trabeculectomy for advanced cases.

Can I have cataract and glaucoma surgery at the same time?

Yes. In patients diagnosed with both conditions, Dr Low may recommend combined cataract-glaucoma surgery. This approach allows for faster recovery and reduces the need for multiple procedures. It is especially effective when performed by a dual-subspecialist like Dr Low at our Cataract Surgery Singapore centre.

How often should I go for an eye screening?

Ages 20–39: Every 2–4 years; Ages 40–64: Every 1–2 years, especially for glaucoma risk; Ages 65+: Annually; Those with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of glaucoma should consider more frequent checks. Comprehensive eye screening is available by appointment with Dr Low.

What is Eye Spa Therapy?

Eye Spa Therapy is a specialised in-clinic procedure that goes beyond simple eye drops. It is a comprehensive treatment protocol that gently addresses the root causes of dry eye and eyelid inflammation. The therapy involves a meticulous, two-step process to restore your ocular surface health.

First, our trained clinicians perform a gentle yet thorough eyelid margin cleansing. This step carefully removes debris, excess oils, and bacterial biofilm that can clog the tiny glands along your eyelids, which are essential for producing a healthy tear film.

Following this, a deeply hydrating and warming mask is applied. This therapeutic mask gradually increases to an optimal temperature to soften obstructed glandular secretions, while a concurrent, gentle massage over the eyelids helps to express these oils. This dual-action process promotes healthy oil flow into the tears, prevents glands from clogging, and provides profound moisture to soothe the ocular surface. The entire experience is designed to be both clinically effective and relaxing.
