3 WELCOME MESSAGE Welcome to The EyeClinic! Thank you for considering us for your eye care needs. Since returning to Singapore 6 years ago to set up The EyeClinic, my team and I have helped hundreds of people see better and improve their quality of life. We would like to help you too. In this brochure, I introduce a product called Implantable Contact Lens (ICL ). I strongly believe that when it comes to seeing clearly without glasses or contact lenses, this is the best vision correction option currently available. I understand that every patient is different, and I look forward to building a relationship with you and helping you find the option that suits you best. So, let s get started on helping you see better!

4 WHAT IS ICL? The Implantable Contact Lens (ICL ) is a small biocompatible lens inserted into the eye behind the iris through a tiny selfhealing incision. It is a revolutionary advancement in vision correction because it is reversible and causes no damage to your natural eye. The cornea, where light enters the eye, is kept pristine. ICL has a 20 year history with over 550,000 procedures performed around the world. It supercedes LASIK as the latest and most advanced refractive procedure in the market.

5 WHAT IS THE LENS MADE OUT OF? We use Visian ICL A Swiss lens made out of collamer, a material that consists of collagen which naturally occurs in your body. These lenses are biocompatible, which means it will naturally be in harmony with your eye. You will not be able to feel it, because the lenses are designed to work unobtrusively in your eyes indefinitely. Each lens is specially measured and customized to fit your individual eye. WHY CHOOSE ICL? REVERSIBILITY Because the ICL is completely removable, patients can have peace of mind that their vision can be further corrected in the future. This means that patients have the option of not wearing reading glasses in the future when presbyopia/lao hua develops. TREATS A WIDE RANGE OF PRESCRIPTIONS ICL is a suitable corrective option for a wide range of myopia. Many patients who are unsuitable for LASIK due to their high prescription or thin corneas are still suitable for ICL. Myopia (short - sightedness) up to degrees Hyperopia (long - sightedness) up to degrees Astigmatism up to 600 degrees

6 THE ADVANTAGES OF ICL VISIAN ICL LASIK/ReLEx YOU ARE SUITABLE FOR ICL IF: Patient Experience Minute outpatient procedure Removes Corneal Tissue Contributes to Dry Eye No No, does not induce dry eye syndrome Occassional, up to 20% can experience dry eye You would like to be free of the hassle of glasses or contact lenses. You have an active outdoor lifestyle and are interested in a vision correction option that also provides UV protection. You have had LASIK before and your Safety Features Removable or Reversible Flexibility for Future Procedures Suitable for thin Corneas UV Protection Biocompatible Lens Long Term History, Removable, Removable No, Not Reversible Limited if additional treatments involve cornea Limited No NA; laser based eyesight needs further correction. You are not a suitable candidate for LASIK because your prescription is too high or your corneas are too thin. You don t want to make your dry eyes worse. You want to keep the option of not wearing reading glasses later on in life.

7 WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE LIKE? The procedure involves making a tiny incision at the base of your cornea before inserting and positioning the ICL lens within the eye. The procedure itself takes about 5 minutes for each eye and, because the surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia, you won t feel any pain. The small size of the incision also means that it will heal naturally and quickly. We expect that you would be able to see well enough to be watching TV or reading on your ipad on the same day.

8 ABOUT YOUR DOCTOR Dr. Cheryl Lee has performed the most number of ICL procedures in Southeast Asia. She is on the expert panel for ICL and is the only Asian female doctor on the panel who is able to train surgeons to perform ICL internationally. Dr Lee has over 16 years of local and international experience in the field of ophthalmology and has received a wide range of specialist training in England at Cheltenham, Cambridge and Bristol, in America at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, and in France at the Pitie-Salpetriere hospital in Paris. Dr. Lee was nominated into SG50 hall of fame for treatment of myopia. She no longer performs LASIK as she believes ICL to be the better option for her patients.

9 THE GOLD STANDARD IN PATIENT CARE When it comes to ICL, The EyeClinic is able to provide unparalleled customization and service. We use both Sonomed and Quantel ultrasound machines to obtain a precise measurement of the inside of the eye. This visibility ensures a perfect fit when it comes to the ICL and significantly reduces the risk associated with the procedure. This gold standard of patient care is a distinguishing factor of The EyeClinic.. The Eyeclinic is ranked as the top ICL centre in Singapore and South-east Asia by Implantable contact lens developer Staar Surgical Company.

10 My expedition to Mt Denali has been a great success and I would like to say a big Thank You for helping me to achieve it. I am really glad that I had the ICL. I think it had really benefited me in many ways during my expedition. Teo Yen Kai Mountaineer, In 2005, Teo Yen Kai became the first Singaporean to Summit Mount Everest.

11 As an avid traveller, I spend nearly a quarter of the year crossing continents. I could never fully enjoy sea sports such as surfing or diving without being terrified about being blind in the middle of the ocean. I did the ICL procedure my only regret is that I didn t do it earlier. Lam Shumei Managing Director at Social Enterprise Poultry East Africa Ltd (PEAL), The first modern chicken farm in Rawanda
