Like any other organ in the body, the eye is also susceptible to various diseases and infections. Many eye conditions can be remedied if they are detected and treated early. The MyEyeMatters app, developed by the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC), offers comprehensive educational information on various eye conditions, symptoms, prevention, treatment and useful eye care tips.
