Understand your eye-care options, what an assessment may involve and when to book an appointment.
Comprehensive Eye Examination
An assessment that starts with your symptoms and medical history, then checks your vision and eye health to guide the next step.
When might you need it?
- If your vision becomes blurred or changes.
- For routine follow-up based on your age, medical history and your doctor's advice.
What does it involve?
- Visual-acuity assessment and a review of your prescription needs.
- Examination of the eyes and eye-pressure assessment as appropriate.
- A dilated examination of the back of the eye when needed.
Eyeglasses and Vision Assessment
Assessment of refractive errors, including short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism, with prescription guidance after an eye examination.
When might you need it?
- If reading or seeing distant objects becomes difficult.
- If your current glasses feel uncomfortable or no longer give clear vision.
What does it involve?
- Refraction for each eye and assessment with suitable lenses.
- A review of your current prescription and daily visual needs.
- Assessment for other causes of reduced vision when appropriate.
Retina and Fundus Examination
An examination of the back of the eye, including the retina and optic nerve, to assess eye health and identify whether further tests are needed.
When might you need it?
- To monitor how conditions such as diabetes may affect your eyes.
- For changes in vision or when recommended after your examination.
What does it involve?
- A review of your symptoms and medical history.
- Retinal and optic-nerve examination, with pupil dilation when needed.
- Advice on further investigations and follow-up based on the findings.
Cataract Assessment and Surgery
Assessment of lens clouding and its effect on your vision and daily activities, followed by a discussion of treatment and surgery if appropriate.
When might you need it?
- If your vision gradually becomes blurred or glare becomes troublesome.
- If cataracts start to affect reading or everyday activities.
What does it involve?
- Lens examination and assessment for other causes of reduced vision.
- Discussion of treatment and intraocular-lens options when surgery is indicated.
- Planning of the necessary investigations and post-procedure follow-up.
Glaucoma Care
Monitoring of eye pressure and optic-nerve health. Glaucoma assessment involves more than a pressure reading and may require additional tests.
When might you need it?
- If glaucoma has been diagnosed or is suspected.
- If family history or other risk factors make an assessment appropriate.
What does it involve?
- Eye-pressure measurement and optic-nerve assessment.
- Advice on additional testing, such as visual-field assessment.

Dry Eye Treatment
Assessment of the eye surface, tears and eyelids to identify possible causes of dryness and guide a treatment plan based on your examination.
When might you need it?
- If you experience burning or a gritty feeling in your eyes.
- For recurring discomfort or fluctuating vision, particularly during screen use.
What does it involve?
- A review of your symptoms, daily habits and medications.
- Examination of the eye surface, eyelids and tear function as needed.
- Suitable treatment, practical advice and review of your response.
LASIK and Vision Correction
Assessment of your suitability for laser vision correction and a discussion of alternatives. Your glasses prescription alone does not determine the right procedure.
When might you need it?
- If you want to discuss reducing reliance on glasses or contact lenses.
- After checking prescription stability, corneal suitability and overall eye health.
What does it involve?
- A review of your refraction and medical history.
- Assessment of the cornea, eye surface and necessary suitability tests.

What does it involve?
- Age-appropriate assessment of vision, eye movements and alignment.
- Assessment of refractive errors and eye health, using drops when needed.
- A clear explanation for the family and an appropriate care plan.
Eye Procedures and Follow-up
Planning of an appropriate procedure after diagnosis, with clear instructions and follow-up. The setting and equipment depend on the procedure and your condition.
When might you need it?
