We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our first cataract surgery at Thomson Specialists Woodleigh, a significant milestone for our ambulatory surgical centre. This procedure, performed by our distinguished Visiting Eye Specialist Dr. Don Pek, highlights Thomson’s dedication to expanding our specialised services and providing comprehensive eye care. Prior to this, Dr. Don Pek has performed over 600 cataract surgeries annually since 2017.
Dr. Don Pek’s expertise in cataract surgery, including complex and refractive cases, was pivotal in this achievement. Cataracts, which affect over 80% of individuals aged 60 and above in Singapore, can cause blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, light sensitivity, and 'halos' around lights. Early intervention can greatly improve patient outcomes, and Dr. Pek’s skills have set a new standard in eye care at our facility.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Don Pek for his exceptional contribution and to our Thomson Angels for their ongoing dedication and support. This milestone reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, specialised care at our ambulatory surgical centre and marks a new chapter in our growth.
We encourage anyone experiencing symptoms of cataracts or other eye-related issues to book an appointment with our visiting eye specialists.
