SINGAPORE: For those who have lost one or both of their eyes, the work of the only ocularist at the National University Hospital (NUH) gives hope and confidence, allowing patients to avoid the stares of others. 
Armed with a steady hand and an attention to detail, Ms Suriya Abu Waled makes ocular prostheses, or artificial eyes, for about 15 new patients every year. She has worked in the hospital for 16 years, 14 of them as an ocularist.
