I receive eyes laser operation from Dr Howard Tan. He is a very kind and friendly doctor. Whenever I have questions, he will explain the whole thing to me patiently, including the operation procedure. This makes me have more confidence and trust to receive the treatment. Now I don't have to wear glasses, and can enjoy high quality of life. Thank you Dr Howard Tan for giving me a new life.

It’s been around 3 months since my second cataract operation and I’m still marvelling at going around without glasses, for the first time in almost 60 years! Summer’s coming and I can wear RayBans without contact lenses, thanks to Doctor Howard and his team. Thanks also to the management and staff at Sungai Long Specialist Hospital for their friendly professionalism.
