EYE SCREENINGS
Eye Screenings
It is important to have your eyes examined regularly, even if there does not seem to be any cause for concern as some eye diseases are symptomless in their early stages. When adults reach the age of 40, it is highly recommended to have annual examinations to detect and treat underlying eye conditions early to minimise vision loss.
We offer eye screening packages that include a comprehensive list of tests and clinical examinations done by an ophthalmologist. They aim to detect eye conditions such as refractive errors, presbyopia, cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and other retinal diseases. Our eye doctor and ophthalmologist, is Dr David Chan.

Glaucoma Eye Screening
- Visual acuity (test for near and far vision)
- Intraocular eye pressure
- Refraction (power of the eyes)
- Humphrey visual field test (detects central and peripheral visual field defects using an analyser)
- Optical coherence tomography scan (high resolution cross section or 3D imaging of the eye’s optic nerve and retina)
- Fundus photography (detects eye conditions affecting your optic nerve, macula and retina by assessing photographs taken of the back of your eyes)
