Medical Tourism In Singapore-Eye Issues
I am interested in medical tourism in SIN as I go there several times a year and often consult a physican, purchases eye glasses, etc. We of course have had threads on this board in the past regarding this general subject .
In view of the forgoing, I thought it might be of interest to note that SIN has apparently stopped conducting Lasik eye surgery at least on a temporary basis, due to complications a number of patients are reporting.
See http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070314/...KpVVmOgQBa24cA for some details.

The other major public health hospital (The National University Hospital) is still open and so are the rest of the private hospitals/practices that do lasik.
