Our dedicated ocular surface centre treats the root cause of dry, tired eyes with in-clinic technologies such as Tixel®, BlephEx and Eyelight, rather than relying on drops alone.

Cataracts


Premium lens options that restore clarity at every distance, so reading glasses can become a thing of the past.

Understanding your options as your eyes change

Styes

A Word from Dr Cheryl Lee

After more than a decade in Cambridge, Bristol, Bath and Cheltenham, at Bascom Palmer in Miami and at Pitié-Salpêtrière in Paris, I returned home to Singapore to build the practice I had always envisioned: unhurried, personal, and at the forefront of what ophthalmology can offer.

Much of my work centres on myopia across a lifetime, from protecting a child's developing eyes to freeing adults from glasses and restoring clarity through cataract surgery. As the mother of a young son, I test every piece of advice I give parents at home first.

My training was recognised with the Gold Medal and Book Prize in Ophthalmology at the National University of Singapore and the Marie Comer Anglian Prize in Ophthalmology at the University of Cambridge. I am honoured to have been inducted into The Straits Times Hall of Fame.

Medical Director & Ophthalmic Surgeon

Hello, I am Dr Cheryl Lee Aeschliman. I am back in Singapore after more than 10 years working in Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham & Cambridge in England, Bascom Palmer in Miami, USA and Pitie-Salpetriere in Paris, France. Since returning, it has been an honour to have been inducted to the Straits Times Hall of Fame.

I am a myopia specialist which means I take care of conditions from young to old that revolve around myopia - myopia control in children, getting rid of glasses, cataract and retinal surgeries and dry eye management.

The motto has been from the start to offer patients more in terms of innovation, higher quality treatment options and personal attention. As a result, over the 10 years, The Eyeclinic by Dr Cheryl Lee has differentiated itself by being the only clinic that offers all research proven options for myopia control, curing dry eyes with machines and not depending on drops, performing an award number of EVO Implantable Collamer Lens (beyond Lasik) and introducing premium lenses for getting rid of reading glasses.

I am a mum of a 12 year old boy which explains my passion and conviction for myopia control in children. When I attend to your child, the tricks and tips I share with you, I have tried out on Mark.

Before my days of motherhood, I did study quite a lot and my academic accolades include the Gold Medal and Book Prize in Ophthalmology from the National University of Singapore, the Marie Comer Anglian Prize in Ophthalmology from the University of Cambridge.

I am happy to discuss any eye concerns of yours in English, Mandarin, Teochew, Hokkien, French, Spanish, Russian, Bahansa or Malay.

To reach out to you personally, I have created this website myself. I hope you find informative, fun and useful the videos and stories I share.
