Dr. Chee Wai Wong

The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye. When it peels away from the tissue beneath it, this is called a retinal detachment — and it requires urgent medical attention.

• Sudden floaters, flashes of light, or a "curtain" across your vision are warning signs
• Most detachments are caused by a tear or hole in the retina
• Surgery is highly effective, especially when treated early
• If you notice symptoms, seek care immediately — do not wait

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula — the central part of your retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It is the most common cause of vision loss in people over 60.

• Dry AMD progresses slowly; wet AMD can cause rapid vision loss
• Blurring, distortion, or dark spots in central vision are common symptoms
• Anti-VEGF injections can significantly slow wet AMD progression
• Regular monitoring is essential to catch changes early

Your first appointment with Dr. Wong is a conversation as much as an examination. We take the time to understand your history, concerns, and goals before any investigation or treatment.

• Comprehensive history-taking and symptom review
• Dilated eye examination with specialist equipment
• OCT and imaging scans when needed
• Clear explanation of findings and all available options

Recovery after retinal surgery requires careful attention and follow-up. Dr. Wong and his team provide detailed post-operative guidance and are always reachable with concerns.

• You may need to maintain a specific head position after some surgeries
• Avoid strenuous activity and air travel during recovery
• Vision improvement can take weeks to months
• Follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring healing
