Summary of SEED

The SEED centre serves to initiate, promote and coordinate ophthalmic epidemiologic research in Singapore and in Asia. The centre will provide a forum for generating new hypotheses, and the application of epidemiologic and statistical methods to test these hypotheses.

The focus will be on major eye diseases of unique importance in Asia, including myopia, angle-closure glaucoma, cataract and diabetic retinopathy.

In particular, the centre will centre on epidemiology and biostatistics, and will include research related to clinical epidemiology, genetic and molecular epidemiology research, evidence based medicine and outcomes research.
