Registered to practice as a specialist eye doctor in the UK (GMC No: 4583716), Australia, and, Malaysia (MMC No: 47138). Here is a link to my complete curriculum vitae. I make it a point of playing tennis once a week and am encouraging my kids to take it up as it is a very difficult sport to learn to play well. When I have time, I try to keep up with my buddies mountain-biking off-road, playing tennis, badminton, swimming or rowing. We live in Petaling Jaya, which is just next to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. I am constantly amazed at how fast kids learn things. I enjoy family life with my 2 daughters and my newborn son. I have also written a chapter on common eye conditions in this book. We have put together more than 50 recipes that are filled with nutrients that are good for your eyesight and may help prevent diseases like macular degeneration. This book is written together with my wife, Chui-Hoong, who is a trained dietitian. I believe that your diet can affect your eyesight and I wrote an award winning book “ Food for the eyes”. I am also passionate about people living a healthy lifestyle in order to maintain their health. I started this blog to put my thoughts about current issues in ophthalmology and to educate the public about common eye diseases like cataract, retinal detachment, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion. I also feel it is important to educate the public about eye conditions as it will help understand why they are losing sight and how we can work together to help improve their sight. I particularly enjoy eye micro-surgery and helping my patients to see again. There is nothing else I would rather do and I feel very privileged to work in a specialty that combines interesting aspects of medicine and surgery together. I am now in full time private practice at OasisEye Specialists. After almost 18 years abroad studying and working in the UK and Australia, I returned to Malaysia in 2009 to practice as an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology and Consultant Ophthalmologist and Retinal Surgeon at the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur. After completing my specialist training, I decided to spend 2 more years of training in Cheltenham, UK followed by the Royal Perth Hospital, Western Australia, to sub-specialise as a retinal surgeon. I am recognised as an Ophthalmologist (Eye Specialist) in the UK, Australia and Malaysia. I graduated with a medical degree from the University of Cambridge, UK in 1998, and trained to be an eye surgeon in London, UK.
