10 Useful Tips for your next visual field test

Most of us take 2 or 3 visual field tests a year. Each time we need to mentally try to recollect how we did it the previous time.
Here for the first time a properly documented step-by-step procedure is laid out for us.

Thanks to Dr. Leonard Yip who has taken the time and trouble to document the "10 Useful Tips for your next visual field test."
Very few will realize that they need to take proper rest before the test. If our response is not a split second from a cue we would often give the reply a pass (now we know we still have time upon seeing the light - a few seconds to respond). What is little known is that you can stop the VF machine if you feel uncomfortable.

inaugural SNEC Glaucoma Patient Support Group Meeting

GLAUCOMA PATIENT SUPPORT GROUP MEETING


Talk on
Importance of Eye Drop Compliance in Glaucoma Care
(in English)

The Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) Glaucoma Patient Support Group is a non-profit, self-help group which aims to help patients and their families cope with glaucoma. Through regular meetings and activities, it will help patients achieve a more holistic approach to the management of glaucoma thereby leading to improvement in their quality of life.

As a start, we have organised a meeting on 26th May 2007 with a theme on “importance of eye drop compliance in glaucoma care”. This theme was chosen because we feel strongly that eye drop compliance is a small but crucial step to achieving better care. Hence, it is important that patient and their families understand what medication compliance is all about.

We sincerely hope that you and / or your family members will join us for this get-together.
