Introduction: With the increased use of filler and fat injections for aesthetic purposes, there has been a corresponding increase in the incidence of complications. Vision loss as an uncommon but devastating vascular side effect of filler injections was the focus of this paper.
Methods: A review committee, consisting of plastic surgeons, aesthetic medical practitioners, ophthalmologists and dermatologists from Singapore, was convened by the Society of Aesthetic Medicine (Singapore) to review and recommend methods for the prevention and management of vision loss secondary to filler injections.
Aims: To determine the analgesic effect of supplemental intracameral lidocaine 1% during phacoemulsification under topical anaesthesia, and to assess the risk factors associated with pain.
Methods: In a double-masked, randomised, clinical trial, 506 patients undergoing phacoemulsification under topical anaesthesia were randomised to receive a supplemental intracameral injection of either 0.5 cc of 1% lidocaine (277 patients, 54.
Objectives: To describe the type of complications related to contact lens wear seen in a hospital setting in Singapore.
Methods: Data were collated over a 2-year period from April 1999 to March 2001, from all public hospitals in Singapore. A standardized clinical record form was completed by the attending doctor when a patient presented for contact lens-related complications.
Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of an aspheric laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) algorithm for myopia with and without astigmatism in minimizing postoperative induction of spherical aberration.
Setting: Four sites in Asia.
Methods: Patients with -1.
Purpose: To describe the loss of light perception and other visual experiences encountered during different stages of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and to compare patients' experiences between LASIK performed with the Zyoptix XP microkeratome and Intralase laser.
Design: Prospective, randomized, self-matched clinical study.
Methods: Forty-one patients (82 eyes) had bilateral LASIK with the corneal flap fashioned by Zyoptix XP microkeratome in one eye and Intralase laser in the other.
Introduction: The aim of the study was to compare the visual performance of LASIK eyes measured using high-contrast logMAR letter charts under bright (photopic) and dim (mesopic) conditions.
Materials And Methods: A total of 46 subjects (35 +/- 8 years of age) undergoing LASIK procedures were recruited for the study. The best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) of each subject was measured using the high-contrast ETDRS logMAR chart under photopic and mesopic conditions at 3 visits: preoperative (Pre), 1 month postoperative (Post1) and 3 months postoperative (Post3).
Bilateral laser in situ keratomileusis was performed in a 37-year-old male ethnic Chinese adventurer. Eight weeks postoperatively, the patient made an unassisted trek to the geographic North Pole. After 2 weeks in this environment, a myopic shift of more than -1.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Singapore.
Methods: This prospective study comprised 30 patients (30 eyes) with more than 3.
