Optical Services Survey There are many common eye conditions which could lead to permanent blindness. Most of these conditions do not show any symptoms. Hence, early detection and diagnosis are crucial to maintaining your vision. The Optometrists and Opticians Board has conducted a survey with local optical outlets to collate information on the various optical services provided at their outlets. In addition to the more common optical services available, the information includes the provision of four other useful screening tools used at the optical outlets. You may refer to the respective outlets for the required optical services. *Disclaimer: The information is provided by the respective optical practices and the optical practices shall be fully responsible for the accuracy of the information provided. Information on general uses of optical equipment 1. Subjective Refraction: it is a type of visual test carried out to determine the degree of one’s short- sightedness or long-sightedness. Any patient who is undergoing subjective refraction will normally be presented with test lenses of different optical powers or focal lengths before being prescribed the most suitable lenses. 2. Fundus photography: it is an advanced digital retina photography capturing an image of the back of the eye. It is often used to inspect anomalies and to monitor progression of eye diseases such as macular degeneration, retina neoplasms, choroid disturbances and diabetic retinopathy. 3. Non-contact Tonometer (NCT): it is a diagnostic tool to measure the intraocular pressure (IOP) inside a patient’s eyes to determine patient’s risk for developing glaucoma, a disease that causes blindness by damaging the nerve in the back of the eye. The NCT uses small puff of air to flatten the cornea in a non- invasive way to check for high IOP. 4. Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) Analyser: it is a semi-automated computerised tool to assess the functions and area of a patient’s field of vision to detect and monitor progression of posterior eye diseases such as glaucoma and retinitis pigmentosa. It is bowl-shaped and consists of a centre fixation light with blinking test lights at the side, which patient is required to click the button whenever the test lights are seen. 5. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): it is a non-invasive ocular imaging tool that uses light waves to take cross-sectional scans for the back of the eye to detect posterior eye conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Ask for Registered Practitioners Since 1 Jan 2008, under the Optometrists & Opticians Act, any person who is keen to practice optometry/opticianry in Singapore must possess a valid registration certificate and practising certificate and be registered with the Optometrists and Opticians Board. Optometrists are primary eye care providers who specialize in performing eye examinations. Through the tests conducted, they can detect eye-infections and common eye diseases such as cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, most of which may be treatable if detected early. 1 Opticians: There are 3 different categories of opticians in Singapore (more information available here). All of them are equipped with the skills to dispense and fit glasses based on prescriptions from optometrists or ophthalmologists1. 1 Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who specialise in managing eye problems. They are trained to diagnose and treat eye diseases, including prescribing medications and performing eye surgeries. 2 Optometrists and Opticians Board - Optical Services Listing (as of May 2020, sorted by shop name) Humphrey Visual Telephone of shop/ Dispensing of Non-contact Optical Coherence Name of shop/ outlet: Address of shop/ outlet Contact email of shop/ outlet Website of shop/ outlet Refraction Contact lens Fundus Camera Field (HVF) outlet Spectacles Tonometer (NCT) Tomography (OCT) Analyser 133 NEW BRIDGE ROAD #02-30 CHINATOWN 1 @EYEF@CTOR (CHINATOWN POINT) 65382283 [email protected] www.aeyefactor.com P P P POINT S(059413) 2 33 SPEX 282 BISHAN STREET 22 #01-139 S(570282) 64564773 - - P P 3 66 OPTICS & CONTACT LENS CTR PTE LTD 103 YISHUN RING ROAD #01-53 S(760103) 67557710 [email protected] - P P P P P 828A TAMPINES STREET 81 #01-266 4 828 OPTICAL 67825540 [email protected] - P P S(521828) 1 WOODLANDS SQUARE #01-23 CAUSEWAY 5 A GLIMPSE PTE LTD 67660123 - - P P POINT S(738099) 449 ANG MO KIO AVENUE 10 #01-1731 6 ACE OPTICAL 64596808 [email protected] - P P P S(560449) 06 SIN MING ROAD #01-18 SIN MING PLAZA 7 AEROV PTE LTD 98581308 [email protected] - P P P P P S(575585) 587 BUKIT TIMAH ROAD #02-24 8 ALAN OPTICS 64669398 - - P P P P P CORONATION SHOPPING PLAZA S(269707) 391B ORCHARD ROAD #B1-35 NGEE ANN 9 ALEXIS EYEWEAR BOUTIQUE (NGEE ANN CITY) 67351687 [email protected] www.nanyang.com.sg/alexis.html P P P CITY S(238874) 290 ORCHARD ROAD #02-20 PARAGON 10 ALEXIS EYEWEAR BOUTIQUE (PARAGON) 67372908 [email protected] - P P P P S(238859) 11 ALL BEST OPTICAL HOUSE 102 YISHUN AVENUE 5 #01-135 S(760102) 67535847 [email protected] - P P ANCO OPTICS & CONTACT LENS CENTRE 352 CLEMENTI AVENUE 2 #01-137 12 67792989 [email protected] - P P P (CLEMENTI) S(120352) ANCO OPTICS & CONTACT LENS CENTRE 201D TAMPINES STREET 21 #01-1107 13 - - - P P (TAMPINES) S(524201) 845 GEYLANG ROAD #01-34 TANJONG 14 APEX OPTICS & CONTACT LENS 67457479 [email protected] - P P KATONG COMPLEX S(400845) 725 CLEMENTI WEST STREET 2 #01-196 15 APPLE EYEWEAR 68730255 - - P P P P S(120725) 190 TOA PAYOH CENTRAL #01-582 16 ASIA OPTICS AND CONTACT LENS CENTRE 62584669 - - P P P P S(310190) 1 PARK ROAD #03-61 PEOPLE'S PARK 17 ASSOCIATED OPTICAL CO 65330109 [email protected] - P P P P COMPLEX S(059108) 112 EAST COAST ROAD #03-32 112 KATONG [email protected] 18 ATLANTIC OPTICS PTE LTD (112 KATONG) 64433393 - P P P P S(428802) m.sg 501 ORCHARD ROAD #02-09A WHEELOCK 19 ATLANTIC OPTICS PTE LTD (WHEELOCK PLACE) 67341577 [email protected] www.atlanticoptical.com.sg P P P P P PLACE S(238880) 20 AZPEC OPTICS 762 JURONG WEST ST 75 #01-274 S(640762) 68616686 - - P P P Page 1 Optometrists and Opticians Board - Optical Services Listing (as of May 2020, sorted by shop name) Humphrey Visual Telephone of shop/ Dispensing of Non-contact Optical Coherence Name of shop/ outlet: Address of shop/ outlet Contact email of shop/ outlet Website of shop/ outlet Refraction Contact lens Fundus Camera Field (HVF) outlet Spectacles Tonometer (NCT) Tomography (OCT) Analyser 21 B&W OPTICS 248 SIMEI ST 3 #01-130 S(520248) 67863528 - - P P P B.S.
