Problem
Diabetes, strokes and heart-related diseases - How can the doctors know if one is possibly living with one of the above problems without the need to do too much complex tests?
Solution
By reading the retina through new cameras and computer imaging techniques. Any subtle changes to the retinal blood vessels can now be measured precisely. This was explained by Wong Tien Yin, a professor at the department of Ophthalmology at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and is also deputy director of the Singapore Eye Research Institute and senior consultant ophthalmologist, Vitreo Retinal Service, at the Singapore National Eye Centre.
Where can I get the service?
At polyclinics only for the moment. To include government hospitals and private clinics later.
The system
Digital pictures of your eyes from the polyclinics would be sent by email to a central 'reading centre' at the department of Ophthalmology at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

IS IT THAT WE SPEND 150 DOLLARS WE THEN CAN USE THE 100 DOLLARS CASH VOUCHER TO BUY ANOTHER SPECTACLE ?
Well.. the deal is better than that.

Can I use the $200 voucher together with the $100 voucher?
