Regular retinal screening is important to ensure good eye health. The OCT retinal technology available at Leong Yew Optical enables early detection of eye diseases that may be treatable to prevent vision loss. Routine eye exams on a regular basis cannot only improve your vision but can also detect eye diseases – many of which have no warning signs, like glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy.
We would strongly recommend everyone who has
Family history of eye diseases
Age above 40 years
High short-sighted or long-sighted
Reduced vision
Eye pain
Systemic diseases e.g diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. to go for annual retinal screening.
Advanced Premium Eye Screening includes:
Visual Acuity Test

Eye Refraction
- It allows us to determine if your vision would be further improved with a spectacle prescription.
Tonometry (Eye Pressure)
- This may be tested by an air puff, involving a small gust of air directed transiently on the eyeball for a fraction of a second.
Slit lamp examination
- to check the health of the anterior surface of our eyes e.g. cornea irregularities, cataract etc.
Fundus Photograph Scan
- 2D pictures of the retina images are taken to detect any retinal abnormalities.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Screening
- Provides 3D HD retinal images to assist in early detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of various retinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), glaucoma, macular holes and vitreous detachments etc.
