The use of robotic surgery in ophthalmology has been shown to offer many potential advantages to current surgical techniques. Vitreoretinal surgery requires complex manoeuvres and high precision, and this is an area that exceeds manual human dexterity in certain surgical situations. With the advent of advanced therapeutics such as subretinal gene therapy, precise delivery and minimising trauma is imperative to optimize outcomes.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare (anterior and posterior) corneal parameters obtained by use of 3 corneal topography devices.
Setting: Tertiary referral eye center, Singapore.
Design: Prospective observational study.
Purpose: The study aims to analyze the trends of posterior uveitis and panuveitis patients seen by a tertiary eye center in Singapore between 2004 and 2012.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 363 consecutive new cases of posterior uveitis and panuveitis. The cases were segregated into idiopathic, infectious, or noninfectious.
Purpose: The study aims to describe the characteristics and etiologic causes of intermediate uveitis (IU) patients seen by a tertiary eye center in Singapore over 8 years.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of the clinical records of consecutive new cases of IU that presented to the uveitis subspecialty clinic from 2004-2011 at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Data collected included demographics, clinical and laboratory findings.
