How the Pandemic May Have Indirectly Affected Our Eyesight?

We all now find ourselves on our screens for prolonged periods due to work, school or even connecting with family and friends during this time of social distancing.

Staring at a screen too long can lead to Digital Eye Strain. Symptoms include blurry vision, headaches and tired, dry eyes. It happens because we blink less often when using screens.

Join me on 18th December(Saturday) from 3pm to 4.15pm with Dr Chua Wei Han, Medical Director & Snr Consultant Ophthalmologist from Novaptus Surgery Centre for an eye-opening webinar on how to better care for our eyes!

Let’s prevent Digital Eye Strain from being the new normal!

How much should you put in a wedding ang bao?

Well, the ang bao rates largely depend on;
1️⃣ The hotel or restaurant
