Experience
Dr Yeo Tun Kuan is an ophthalmologist at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, Singapore.
He practises general ophthalmology and subspecialises in complex cataract and anterior segment surgery. This includes the surgical management of subluxated cataracts, dislocated intraocular lenses (IOLs), iris reconstruction and artificial iris implantation.
Prior to joining private practice, Dr Yeo was a senior consultant in the department of ophthalmology at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH). He was the head of cataract, implant and anterior segment, co-chair of the eye operating theatre services at TTSH, and ophthalmology clinician lead at Ang Mo Kio Specialist Centre.
He attained his medical degree from the University College London, UK, and at the same time, he obtained a bachelor’s in neuroscience. He was later conferred a master’s and fellowships with the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, UK and the Academy of Medicine, Singapore. Subsequently, he was awarded the Health Manpower Development Plan award and underwent subspecialty fellowship training in anterior segment surgery in Australia.
Dr Yeo has performed more than 6,000 cataract surgeries and is experienced in complex IOL calculations (e.g. post-LASIK), and implantation of presbyopia and astigmatism correcting lenses. He is also well-versed in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. He has been practising medicine for more than 20 years.
He is also active in research with more than 20 publications in peer-reviewed journals and has been awarded various research funding. His research interests are in IOL formula, biometry and IOL design. He is the inventor of the EVO IOL formula, which is used by eye surgeons worldwide. The formula predicts the appropriate power of the IOL to be implanted during cataract surgery to attain the desired outcome.
Dr Yeo is a key opinion leader in the fields of phacoemulsification, IOL design, IOL formula and biometry, and leads the evaluation and selection of new IOLs at TTSH. He is an invited member of the IOL Power Club and International Intraocular Implant Club, and he has delivered more than 70 invited talks and presentations regionally and internationally.
