At Angel Eye & Cataract Centre, we continually invest in technology to improve surgical outcomes.
One of our recent additions is the CIRRUS PathFinder TM, an AI-guided Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) image assessment tool that assists Dr Allan Fong in analysing macular scans and flagging retinal abnormalities. This enhances our diagnostic and preoperative planning.
The CIRRUS PathFinder trained on over 75,000 OCT B-scan images and validated by leading retina specialists, analyses each eye scan and highlights areas that need attention.
A dense, high-resolution OCT scan your macula is taken, automatically centred on the fovea.
The AI instantly assesses image quality and flags any poor scans for retake.
The system then checks for macular changes
Areas that require the surgeon’s further attention are highlighted.
Unlike other eye assessments, the CIRRUS PathFinder uses AI to analyse your retinal scans and highlight areas of concern that might otherwise go unnoticed. It benefits you through:
Many eye conditions, especially those affecting the retina, can develop quietly without noticeable symptoms. CIRRUS PathFinder uses AI to automatically scan and highlight subtle changes in your retina. This allows our team to catch potential problems early, before they impact your vision or affect the success of cataract surgery.
With the help of detailed, high-resolution imaging, we are able to map out the structure of your eye, including the retina and macula. This information helps us choose an intraocular lens (IOL) suitable for your needs and lifestyle and ensures your surgical plan is customised for the best possible outcome.
Traditional imaging often requires manual review, repeat scans, and longer consultation times. With AI support, scans are automatically analysed in seconds, reducing the need for retakes and speeding up your appointment. That means you spend less time waiting and more time focusing on your care.
While technology plays a role, it cannot fully replace a doctor’s insight and experience. CIRRUS PathFinder acts as a smart assistant, improving the eye assessment process and pre-surgical treatment plans.
At Angel Eye & Cataract Centre, Zeiss CIRRUS PathFinder is fully integrated into our in-house diagnostic and surgical workflow. From your first eye scan to post-surgery follow-up, you benefit from a seamless, tech-supported experience. We are proud to be among the few clinics in Singapore offering this technology as part of cataract care.

We understand you may have many questions about cataract surgery. Here are answers to some of the most common queries about the surgery, recovery, and expected outcomes.
Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful procedures performed today. The success rate of cataract surgery in improving vision is very high, with over 95% of operations completed without serious complications. The procedure is effective in restoring vision that has been lost due to cataracts, making it a reliable option for those suffering from this condition.
The recovery time after cataract surgery is typically quick. Most patients notice an improvement in their vision within a few days after the procedure. Complete healing often occurs within 8 weeks, but many patients can resume their normal activities, including returning to work and driving, within a couple of days after surgery. It’s important to follow the post-operative care instructions provided by the surgeon to ensure the best possible outcome.
While cataract surgery is generally safe, like any surgical procedure, it carries some risks. Possible complications, although rare, can include postoperative infections, bleeding, inflammation, dislocation of the intraocular lens, retinal detachment, and persistent discomfort or vision problems. The risk of severe vision loss is very low, and most complications can be treated effectively with medication or additional surgeries.
The need for cataract surgery is typically determined by the degree to which the cataract is affecting your daily activities and quality of life. Common symptoms that might indicate the need for surgery include blurred vision, difficulty seeing in low light, seeing halos around lights, frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription, and fading or yellowing of colours. Consulting with an ophthalmologist can help you decide if and when surgery is the right option based on your specific symptoms and vision needs.
Cataract surgery involves removing cloudy lenses and restores clear vision.
The price of cataract surgery in Singapore depends on the surgeon’s expertise, the client’s lens choice and the choice of facility.
When choosing a cataract surgeon in Singapore, you can look up their experience, reviews and treatment methodology.
Cataract treatment in Singapore includes standard, laser-assisted and premium lens implant surgery.
