A robust five-year programme, the Ophthalmology Residency Programme at SingHealth covers all aspects of general Ophthalmology and Ophthalmic subspecialties.
Year 1 provides you with the foundation in ophthalmic training and surgical training. You are expected to practice general ophthalmology in Year 2 and Year 3, with concurrent subspecialty rotations.
You will also learn to perform extracapsular cataract surgery (ECCE). You will then progress on to performing phacoemulsification and pterygium surgery, as well as learning various laser and outpatient procedures commonly performed in Ophthalmology.
In Year 4 and 5 of Residency, you will continue to hone your clinical and surgical skills in all subspecialties in preparation for exiting before applying for full specialty registration in Singapore.
