                    [Summary] => "There is no escape from this reality. Once you are 40, the natural tendency is for the eyes to need special care like the use of eyeglasses for reading. Then, there is surgery for cases that require immediate medical attention. If you have an aging body, then you also have aging eyes," says Dr Noel Chua, director of St. Luke’s International Eye Institute, which has done more than 40,000 procedures since the 90s.
