Dr David Ng

Despite having gained a wide breadth of clinical expertise in neurosurgery and plastic surgery, Dr David Ng eventually chose to specialise in ophthalmology and completed his training at the renowned Sydney Eye Hospital. As a general ophthalmologist, Dr Ng treats patients with a broad range of eye conditions. He has considerable experience in performing laser cataract surgery and regularly lectures on this area to optometrists and other doctors. Dr Ng also has a particular interest in glaucoma and medical diseases of the retina, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration and retinal vessel disease. Some other conditions Dr Ng regularly manages and treats include eyelid lesions and pterygium (Surfer’s Eye). For pterygium surgery, Dr Ng uses tissue glue to reduce the need for sutures.1,2 Dr Ng is a designated aviation ophthalmologist (DAO) and is able to provide medical and eye examination services for pilots and individuals applying for aviation licences.
