Honoured to be interviewed by and to contribute to this feature on managing red eyes.
Red eyes are a common symptom with many possible causes, ranging from dry eye and eyelid diseases to allergies, infections, and occasionally sight-threatening eye conditions. Raising public awareness about when to seek professional care is an important part of protecting vision and eye health.
Grateful to The Straits Times for the opportunity, and to my fellow ophthalmology colleagues and healthcare professionals who also shared their expertise in this article. Public education is always strongest when we work together.
