Visual clarity means more than just seeing the world clearly. It means being able to see without relying on spectacles, being able to appreciate the rich colours around you, and being able to observe the fine details on a loved one’s face across the distances that matter in daily life.
Whether you are dealing with cataracts, glaucoma, corneal or retinal disease, or refractive errors, a comprehensive eye assessment and personalized treatment plan can restore your sight, helping you experience every fine detail in life again.
Dr Chan is a triple-Fellowship trained, experienced, and internationally recognised Ophthalmologist. He has international clinical experience from McGill University and Moorfields Eye Hospital London, and has been awarded Ophthalmology accreditation from the UK, Canada & Singapore. As founder & Medical Director of Ascend Eye Clinic, his wide range of specialisations include cataract surgery, premium lens implants, presbyopia correction, retinal diseases & surgery, secondary lens implants, glaucoma treatment & surgery, high-risk & complex eye surgery, and laser vision correction.
Dr Chan combines clinical practice with an active role in ophthalmic research and medical education. His work has been published in more than 40 ophthalmology journals and textbooks, and he has served as a clinical trial investigator for new medical devices and treatments in eye care.
Formerly a Clinical Lecturer at the National University of Singapore, Dr Chan has also been involved in mentoring doctors in ophthalmology and eye surgery. He regularly speaks at international scientific meetings, sharing his research and clinical experience with the wider ophthalmic community. His work has been recognised by organisations including the Retina Foundation of Canada, World Glaucoma Association and Asia-Pacific Vitreoretina Society.
Dr Chan’s approach is highly personalised to every patient he serves. He is passionate and driven to provide the medically appropriate and safe treatment to every individual to achieve optimal vision. Understanding that eye conditions and poor vision can impact the individual’s quality of life, Dr Chan provides every patient with as much time as possible to understand their eye condition and treatment options. His management ethos is to help each patient achieve their visual potential through evidence-based medicine, informed choice, and ultimately the patient’s best interests.
Cataract surgery not only restores clarity by removing the cloudy natural lens, but also provides an opportunity to refine how you see after surgery. We replace the cataract with a clear intraocular lens (IOL) selected according to your eyes, prescription and visual priorities, with options designed to support clearer vision at different distances and reduce reliance on glasses.
