Dr Natasha Lim Eye Centre is helmed by its namesake, Dr Natasha Lim. She uses her global training to provide advanced solutions to treat ocular conditions and general eye care.

What we appreciate the most about this clinic is the technology that allows it to offer a broader range of surgical procedures compared to other eye clinics.

Thus, when it comes to eye surgeries, we think Dr Natasha Lim Eye Centre is a great choice.

Additionally, eye-correcting surgery is Dr Natasha Lim’s principal clinical interest. Whether you need LASIK surgery to correct your eye prescription or refractive surgery for cataracts, we trust that she knows its ins and outs.

Speaking of LASIK surgery, we were delighted to discover that Dr Natasha Lim is a founder in introducing iDesign LASIK surgery in Singapore. This procedure is the newest and most proper way to correct myopia and astigmatism using laser technology.

Since this procedure isn’t cheap, we appreciate that Dr Natasha Lim provides financial consultations for her patients. This allows her patients to receive a personalised surgical procedure that meets their needs and budget.

However, the clinic’s biggest drawback is that its logistics and document processing takes a long time to operate. If you want to drop by its clinic, we advise you to prepare to queue for long hours.

Although you won’t have to worry about heavy traffic getting there. The clinic is in the Royal Square Novena, next to Novena MRT station, making it accessible for commuters!

We had a fantastic experience with Dr. Owen Kim Hee at Hesed Eye Specialists. From our visit, we were impressed by the quality of services provided.

Dr. Owen Kim Hee’s expertise and professionalism were evident throughout our consultation. He took the time to explain our eye conditions in detail, making us feel confident in his care.

Moreover, the efficiency of the clinic was outstanding. We never had to wait long, and the staff were always prompt and courteous.

Additionally, the affordability of the services at Hesed Eye Specialists was a pleasant surprise. We received top-tier care without breaking the bank, which is rare in specialized medical services.

The facilities were modern and well-maintained, providing a comfortable environment for patients. Every piece of equipment seemed state-of-the-art, ensuring proper diagnoses and effective treatments.

Furthermore, the clinic’s approach to patient care was compassionate and thorough. Dr. Owen Kim Hee’s gentle manner and attentive listening made us feel truly cared for.

Transitioning to post-appointment care, the follow-up was equally impressive. We received timely updates and reminders, making the entire process seamless and stress-free.

Overall, our experience with Hesed Eye Specialists and Dr. Owen Kim Hee was exceptional. We recommend their services to anyone seeking quality eye care.

Atlas Eye Specialist Centre is among the many powerhouse specialist clinics housed at the Royal Square Novena. Headed by accredited ophthalmologist Dr David Chan, we consider Atlas Eye Specialist the benchmark for eye surgeries. 

We found this clinic because of its various procedures available. From three different vision correction procedures to high-risk cataract treatment and childhood myopia treatments, you can rely on Atlas Eye Specialist Centre.

We believe its comprehensive range of clinical procedures and assessments is enough to make patients feel like they wouldn’t run out of options in this clinic.

Furthermore, we commend the various United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medical procedures it offers,  guaranteeing their safety and effectiveness.

Coupled with Dr David Chan’s expertise, we believe you’ll be in the hands at Atlas Eye Specialist Centre. We noted that he has helped many patients have personalised treatments that address their vision imparities.

If you’re unsure about your eye condition, you can opt for a 15-minute consultation with Dr David or his associates. Although the costs are reasonable at $172, the extended consultation fees are steep at $225+.

Nonetheless, we think Atlas Eye Specialist Centre is perfect for those who want to explore other options for vision correction. We noticed this clinic is a popular choice for those with nearsightedness and astigmatism concerns.

We must mention that this clinic has a high demand for its services, so there are long queues in both branches even if you have an appointment. 

Furthermore, it doesn’t accept walk-in patients on Saturdays, and its customer service is slower due to the regular influx of patients.

Vision correction isn’t limited to LASIK surgery. There are existing alternatives that are just as effective and much more inclusive. 

The EyeClinic specialises in one of the alternatives — Implantable Contact Lens (ICL).

For patients who did not qualify for LASIK surgery — or those that prefer non-invasive eye surgery in general — we suggest trying out the ICL procedure. What we like most about it is that it’s painless, swift, and reversible!

The EyeClinic’s resident ophthalmologist, Dr Cheryl Lee, is regarded as a founder for ICL surgery in Singapore. We were impressed by her 10 years of experience as an eye doctor in the USA, England, and France. 

She brought her experiences back to Singapore and introduced the non-invasive, non-laser ICL as an alternative to the more prominent laser-operated LASIK that reshapes the cornea.

Notably, ICL is perfect for athletes and cosplayers with myopic conditions. Just imagine — no more scrambling for sports glasses or graded coloured contact lenses!

The EyeClinic has already performed this procedure on a handful of sports hobbyists, including auto racers and hikers. Based on this, we are assured that ICL can survive extreme activities and harsh conditions just as well as LASIK.

What we appreciate most about Dr Cheryl Lee is that she can communicate in eight languages: English, Mandarin, Teochew, Hokkien, French, Spanish, Russian, and Malay.

So if you’d like to know more about ICL, communication will be the last of your worries when booking an appointment.

We also like that it has a 24-hour emergency hotline that you can contact. That Dr Cheryl Lee readily attends to emergencies also garners points from us!

However, we think its one-dimensional focus on ICL is also its weakness. If you consult with The EyeClinic about any visual discomfort, it can offer an ICL procedure as a solution.

Furthermore, the biggest deal breaker about ICL is its more expensive costs than the good, ol’ LASIK surgery, albeit it’s less complicated.

Like some of our other entries, W Eye Clinic also specialises in a specific surgical procedure that can substitute for LASIK surgery.

LASIK surgery requires a certain thickness in a person’s cornea, so some people would understandably be incompatible with this operation. That’s why W Eye Clinic provides a close alternative for people with thinner corneas: the epi-LASIK (PRK).

It might sound confusing, especially if you factor in the two kinds of PRK procedures available at W Eye Clinic. But that’s exactly why we encourage you to consult Dr Gerard Nah, the eye clinic’s resident ophthalmologist. 

As an expert on the topic, Dr Gerard Nah can give you a more professional explanation of these procedures.

As for his credentials, we admire his specialisation in Aviation Medicine and experience in the Republic of Singapore Air Force for nearly 20 years. 

With his experience in a field that requires the sharpest vision, we put our faith in Dr Gerard Nah’s success rates in vision correction.

However, as much as Dr Gerard Nah impressed us with his credentials, the clinic’s staff unfortunately isn’t as remarkable. From the customers we’ve approached, we inferred that W Eye Clinic has trouble keeping up with its patients.

Hence, the staff tend to get the customers’ information all jumbled up, sometimes including price quotations too.

If you have an insurance policy, we suggest you mention to the staff as they tend to forget to check this crucial information.

Finally, we note that W Eye Clinic opens later and has shorter hours on Saturdays compared to its competitors.

Next on our list is Ava Eye Clinic, which is perfect for people who want preventive measurements or aesthetic surgeries instead of drastic solutions.

As they say, prevention is better than cure. Unlike other clinics that specialise in treatment, Ava Eye Clinic promotes myopia control instead–especially for children.

What we like about Ava Eye Clinic is that it follows a scientifically-proven study to slow myopia in children using small, comfortable dosages of atropine drops. This can stall the development of myopia by 50 to 60 percent.

What we found most impressive about this clinic its extensive offering of oculoplastic surgeries. We believe these are helpful for people with muscular conditions around their eyes.

Ava Eye Clinic is also known to offer orbital disease management services in Singapore. So for anyone with thyroid eye disease — or even the simple inflammation and eye infection — we think this eye clinic would be an ideal stop.

Moreover, its resident ophthalmologist, Dr Audrey Looi, is qualified to perform cataract surgery. What we appreciate the most about her is that she also puts efforts into rejuvenating the eyes post-surgery.

So if you’re looking for a one-stop eye clinic that can offer surgical and aesthetic aftercare treatments, we recommend Dr Audrey Looi.

Ava Eye Clinic also offers socket and prosthetic eye interventions. So if you’re facing difficulties fitting an ocular prosthetic, we suggest you take it to Ava Eye Clinic for an examination.

The problem that we think Ava Eye Clinic presents is that its administrative staff lacks clear communication with patients. According to our surveys, this issue has led to several misunderstandings, especially concerning fees and payments.

Another clinic we recommend is EyeWise Vision Clinic.

This clinic is owned by Dr. Christopher Khng, an Ophthalmologist who specialises in a number of areas.

We think the range of his expertise is impressive. He specialises in Complex Cataract and Anterior Segment Reconstruction Surgery, and particularrly in Iris Reconstruction and surgery for Aniridia.

He’s also well-versed in Complex Lens surgery, New Lens and Phacoemulsification technologies, Refractive surgery, Phakic IOLs (the Implantable Collamer Lens, ICL), and small-incision, topical anesthesia phacoemulsification cataract surgery.

We’re also impressed by the breadth of his training and experience, having completed his medical degrees of MBBS at National University of Singapore (NUS) and various experiences of being a consultant in different clinics and hospitals.

His clinic is capable of helping you and treating minor and major eye conditions.

His knowledge and expertise is evident, but he’s also great at establishing rapport.

He explains everything to his patients very well, such as risk and benefits of every procedure.

We like how he makes his patients feel comfortable and cared for. No wonder many of his patients stick to him for any eye concerns.

We recommend!
