Eye Screening in Singapore – $30

What Is Eye Screening and Why It Is Important?

An eye screening is a detailed assessment of both your eyesight and eye health. Unlike a basic vision test, it looks beyond how clearly you can see and checks for early signs of eye disease.

Many serious conditions, including glaucoma and retinal diseases, develop silently. By the time symptoms appear, some vision loss may already be permanent. Regular screenings help detect these issues early, giving you a better chance of preserving your vision.

What Does an Eye Screening Include?

A comprehensive eye screening typically covers several key areas:

• Vision clarity and prescription assessment
• Eye pressure measurement for glaucoma detection
• Examination of the front structures of the eye
• Retinal imaging to assess the back of the eye
• Additional diagnostic scans if required

Each test provides a different layer of insight, allowing your doctor to build a complete picture of your eye health.
