How Often Should I Go for an Eye Checkup or Screening?
Some eye diseases have no symptoms, hence it is important to have regular eye examinations. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that everyone should have regular eye screening from the age of 40 years. Those with a family history of glaucoma should have regular eye screening from the age of 20 years.

Eye Tests in Singapore That We Offer
Here are the eye tests which help your doctor to assess the health of your eye and diagnose any eye diseases.
Visual Acuity Test
This assesses the sharpness of your vision.
Letters or numbers on a chart are projected at a fixed distance away.
The smallest line of letters that you can see will give an indication of how good your vision is.
Your ability to distinguish colours will be assessed with the Ishihara chart.
Abnormalities in colour vision can be hereditary or can indicate disease of your macula and eye nerve.
Amsler Grid
The Amsler grid is used to check for abnormalities in your central vision (e.g., distortion or dark patches in your vision) which can be caused by diseases of your macula.
Optical Coherence Tomography of the Macula
Optical Coherence Tomography uses light waves to obtain a high resolution and detailed scan of your macula, the central part of the retina which is responsible for central vision.
This will detect diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, macular swelling due to diabetes and central serous retinopathy.
Optical Coherence Tomography of the Optic Nerve
Optical Coherence Tomography uses light waves to obtain a high-resolution and detailed scan of your eye nerve.
This will allow us to detect diseases involving the eye nerve, such as glaucoma.
Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography
The anterior segment optical coherence tomography uses light waves to obtain a high-resolution scan of the drainage angle of the eye.
This can detect angle closure, which increases the risk of glaucoma.
Visual Field Test
The visual field test will check your peripheral vision.
People with glaucoma lose their peripheral vision first, and they often do not notice this until their central vision is affected.
The visual field test will allow us to detect glaucoma as well as other diseases involving the eye nerve and the visual pathway in the brain.
