Areas of Expertise
Cataract Surgery
"I have been performing cataract surgery for the past two decades, and have experience in all forms of modern, suture-less phacoemulsification surgery. I can help you make sense of the many types of intraocular lens implants, including aspheric monofocal, multifocal, toric, and enhanced depth-of-focus (EDOF) lenses."
LASIK and Refractive Surgery
"There are many options when it comes to corneal refractive surgery, and I will be happy to advise you on the safest option to suit your needs. There is always time to discuss procedures such as LASIK; lenticule extraction (such as SMILE); and advanced surface ablation (such as LASEK and TransPRK)."
Cornea Transplantation
"Cornea diseases can be a serious cause of poor vision. As an active cornea transplant surgeon, I regularly perform cornea transplants surgeries such as DSAEK, DALK and PK (penetrating keratoplasty) to reverse such problems."
From My Patients
"Thank you to a Professional and Responsible Ophthalmologist"
"Time flies. It has been 10 years since I had corneal transplant surgery at the Singapore National Eye Centre. When I first went to the Eye Centre, a young specialist, Dr. Xu Weiwen (Dr Khor Wei Boon), performed the surgery. Dr. Khor is a skilled doctor and the surgery was very successful. I did not feel any discomfort or rejection after the surgery and my condition is still good.
... In the past 10 years, Dr. Xu personally handled every routine checkup. He is very careful and gentle.
Here, I would also like to thank all the medical staff of the Eye Centre, especially Dr. Khor, who has been silently serving and contributing to the vast number of patients."
