CLINICAL SERVICES - OCULOPLASTIC & AESTHETIC EYEPLASTIC

RESEARCH

Apart from providing the various clinical services, the Oculoplastic Service is active in research projects and in sharing their work and expertise at regional and international meetings.

Current ongoing projects include collaborations with the NUS bioengineering department on the new osteomesh implant for repair of orbital fractures and bench to bedside studies on the lacrimal gland, in conjunction with the Singapore Eye Research Institute.
