Last weekend, the Chief Minister of Penang officiated the grand opening of the International Specialist Eye Centre (ISEC) located strategically along Jalan Larut. Congratulations to ISEC on this milestone!
ISEC Penang Has Upgraded And Is Now Officially Open At Jalan Larut
Having opened its doors back in 2014 at Jalan Burmah by Dr. Alan Ang Jin Soon, ISEC is a center of excellence in ophthalmology, specifically in clinical care, teaching, and research. Among the services offered here include a full range of tertiary specialty services, ranging from sophisticated laser eye surgery (LASIK) to the most complex vitreoretinal, orbital reconstruction, and complex corneal transplantation surgeries.
Gracing the event was our Chief Minister who urged the importance of eye-care awareness in his officiating speech. He mentioned that around 25% of the population suffers from various eye conditions, hence it is of utmost importance to address these impairments for the well-being of Penangites.
Adding on to that, “Penang is currently the second highest aging state in Malaysia after Perak. Of Penang’s 1.77 million population, almost 15% is aged 60 or older. The United Nations Population Project predicts that by 2040, Penang will have the highest aging population in Malaysia. Roughly 26.2% of our people will be 60 years old or more.
This statistic has a direct consequence on the prevalence of visual impairment for Penangites and also the entire country. With the brand new upgrade of the premise, ISEC is a significant addition to the state’s healthcare landscape; in line with the state’s vision towards becoming a hub for advanced medical care.
Following the official opening ceremony of ISEC was a global book launch titled ‘Treatment of Dry Eye’ by author Dr. Zeng Qingyan and translations by Dr. David Wen Wei Woo, Dr. Eng Hui Gan, and Dr. Chung Nen Chua. The book is illustrated by Li Pan and provides a good resource for readers to acquire in-depth knowledge on causes and hazards brought about by dry eye.
