About Dr Seow
Dr Seow Wei Hong is a Primary Eye Care Physician at The Straits Eye Community Clinic. He graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from the University of Adelaide.
He trained across ophthalmology, internal medicine and surgery in Singapore’s public hospitals, managing both acute and chronic conditions. He was a medical officer in ophthalmology at the National University Hospital, and in internal medicine at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, covering general medicine, the acute stroke unit, and gastroenterology and hepatology. His house officer year was spent in internal medicine at the National University Hospital and in general and orthopaedic surgery at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
He went on to practise primary care as a medical officer with the National Healthcare Group Polyclinics at Hougang Polyclinic, and has held locum sessions with the National University Health System, in ophthalmology and at Bukit Panjang Polyclinic.
He is the first author of a review of the surgical options in uveitis and glaucoma, written with colleagues in the Department of Ophthalmology at the National University Health System and published in Current Opinion in Ophthalmology in 2023.

Dr Seow’s values

-
Compassion
Care for patients with kindness, empathy and respect.
-
Integrity
Tests, procedures and medication only where necessary.
His approach to care
Clear explanation, care fitted to the person, and a preference for finding problems early.
Dr Seow’s care is patient-centred: what he recommends is shaped around the individual and the family in front of him, not around the condition alone. He believes in care that is clinically sound and personal, built on clear communication and empathy, so that each patient feels heard and supported.
He places particular weight on preventive care — on giving patients and their families what they need to make informed decisions about their eye health over a lifetime.
His interest in care is community-focused. During his medical degree he took part in six medical mission trips to Cambodia between 2014 and 2019, and he returned in 2024 to help run an eye clinic there. At home he sees patients of all ages at The Straits Eye Community Clinic.
“Most eye conditions do not have symptoms in the early stages. Regular eye checks or screenings help us to identify them early to prevent vision loss.”
What Dr Seow sees
Primary eye care for adults and children at our community clinics, with myopia control in children as his particular interest. Where an eye needs a surgeon, for cataract surgery in Singapore or another procedure, he refers on.
Myopia control for children
Short-sightedness in children, and the treatment used to slow how fast it progresses.
Eye tests and checks
Optometrist-led eye screening, with the report reviewed by a primary eye care physician.
