The NUS Eye Department plays a pivotal role in vision research
in Singapore, within the auspices of the Singapore Eye Research
Institute, with basic research and visual psychophysics laboratories,
and wide national clinical eye disease databases. The scope of vision
research focuses on clinical, epidemiological and translational
research on diseases particularly relevant or prevalent in Asian
eyes, and some broad areas include research into myopia, corneal
and ocular surface disorders, adult limbal and conjunctival stem
cell transplantation, Asian glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, age-related
macular degeneration and corneal refractive surgery. The department's
