Building Connections between Healthcare and Education: Implementing an Optometry Internship Programme at OasisEye Specialists

At OasisEye Specialists, we place importance on education while providing good healthcare. In line with this, we welcome those who seek to gain further knowledge in the field of eye care, particularly future practitioners in the field such as optometrists and medical students.

Recently, OasisEye Specialists has collaborated with SEGi University to provide services to the Optometry undergraduate internship programme. This will allow Optometry interns to gain industry experience that is relevant to the field of optometry and eye care.

We are committed to providing on-the-job mentoring to prepare interns for their prospective jobs. Through time spent in clinics with industry experts, interns will have many opportunities to observe the necessary care delivered to patients with multitude of eye diseases. They will also get to assist in performing certain investigatory procedures (according to health and safety guidelines) and participate in discussing patient treatment plans.

At all times, OasisEye Specialists strives to treat and guide any trainee with respect and dignity, while providing a safe, sanitary and valuable learning environment.

Eye Health Awareness Programme with Averis Sdn Bhd

Elderly Face Risk of Irreversible Blindness

With ageing comes many issues that we may be unprepared to face, but loss of sight can be devastating.
Malaysia is expected to become an ageing nation by 2035, with 15 per cent of its population aged 65 and above.
While ideally, the elderly should remain active well into their golden years, it’s estimated that 46,000 Malaysians above the age of 45 are at risk of irreversible blindness due to wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). While vision changes will naturally occur as a person ages, actual vision loss is not a normal part of ageing.

Wet AMD, a progressive and chronic type of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), occurs when abnormal blood vessels beneath the retina start to grow under the macular. Symptoms usually appear suddenly, causing distortions and blurred vision, and worsen rapidly, leading to irreversible damage within a short period of time.While wet AMD only accounts for about 10 per cent of all AMD cases, it is responsible for 90 per cent of severe vision loss associated with the disease.
