Our Strengths


SNEC – Singapore’s Tertiary Ophthalmic Referral Centre
SNEC is a tertiary ophthalmic referral centre that serves the various SingHealth hospitals and institutions, as well as the entire Asia-Pacific region. The wide variety of clinical case-mix and surgical cases that span across all ophthalmic specialties offers you broad exposure and unparalleled training opportunities.  
Renowned Faculty, World-class Facilities
Our faculty members are deeply committed to residency education. Coupled with our dedicated clinical and operating theatre facilities and a well-stocked library, we provide an educational experience that is unmatched. 
Strong Links with Leading Ophthalmic Centers
SingHealth and SNEC have strong links with many leading ophthalmic centers in the US, UK, Europe and the Asia-pacific region. This has led to local visits by world-renowned ophthalmologists to speak about new developments in the management of eye diseases. These relationships have paved the way for our residents to undergo fellowship training at centers of excellence around the world, allowing them to learn new skills in treating eye diseases. 

Research Opportunities
The Singapore Eye Research Institute (SERI) has clinical and research facilities at the SNEC. You will find research opportunities readily available and can choose to undertake independent investigation or participate in ongoing clinical or basic science research projects. With supervision by our clinicians and scientists, many past residents have presented the results of their work at international meetings and published their work in peer-reviewed journals.
