Dr Ti Seng Ei graduated from National University of Singapore. Following completion of basic and advanced specialist training in Ophthalmology, she underwent  Cornea fellowship at SNEC, followed by Cornea & Ocular Surface Transplantation training at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, USA.

With a special interest in patients with cataracts and underlying corneal disease, she completed a post fellowship observership at the University of Antwerp, Belgium in 2015, under Prof. Marie Tassignon, which facilitated improved understanding on quality of vision and intraocular lens implant centration, techniques of lens exchange, and cataract surgery in corneal disease.

Dr Ti  was one of the pioneer users of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) for standard and complex cataracts in SNEC, and since 2012 was part of the SNEC FLACS teaching faculty, helping in skills-transfer courses for fellow SNEC doctors.  Her cornea speciality practice focused on medical management of corneal inflammatory diseases, infections, cornea dystrophies and postsurgical complications. Types of cornea surgery performed included anterior lamellar keratoplasty, descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).

Regionally, Dr Ti was a regular invited speaker at the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) meetings and trained attendee doctors from Southeast Asia during the annual SNEC Intermediate and Advanced Cataract Teaching Courses.

On the international front, Dr Ti has also participated as Course Faculty for instruction courses at the American Society Cataract Refractive Surgeons (ASCRS) and the European Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) meetings.

Her international publications reflect her clinical interest in cataract surgery and corneal disease. These include papers on FLACS, new cataract surgery devices, cataract surgery audit studies on visual outcomes and complications, cornea transplantation and amniotic membrane transplantation for ocular surface disease.
