Eye Screening

Here are some things you should know about eye screening:

• Children as young as 4 years can have their vision accurately checked. We aim to detect childhood eye conditions early for good outcomes ( especially Myopia in Singapore due to how common the condition is and the availability of good treatment. Amblyopia (lazy eye) can have an excellent outcome when detected and treated at an early age).

• Adults should have their eyes screened more frequently and comprehensively if: there is a family history of eye disease (e.g., glaucoma), have risk factors for certain eye conditions (e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure,), or have had any eye injury before (glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment).

During an eye screening, our ophthalmologists use a range of examination techniques and investigations to ensure that each part of the eye is functioning well.

At Lumin Eye Specialists, our eye screening sequence may include:

• Vision assessment
• Intraocular pressure measurement
• Slit lamp examination
• Dilated retinal examination
• Optic nerve evaluation
• Refraction assessment
• Humphrey visual field testing

Depending on the ophthalmologist’s assessment of your eye, the recommended tests may vary.

Upon receiving the results, you can seamlessly continue your patient care journey at our eye clinic, which treats a full range of eye conditions under one roof.
