Laser Vision Correction
Good vision is something that we all want for everything – our daily activities, our adventure trip, our work and etc. Some people have it naturally while others have refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
The SunMed Eye Centre offers patients a wide range of eye care services for the screening, diagnosis and treatment of various eye conditions. Our consultant ophthalmologists (eye specialists) are supported by a team of trained eye care personnel, including an optometrist, an orthoptist and an ocularist.

- Squinting, closing or covering one eye
- One of both eyes turning in or out

Anyone with a family history of glaucoma is recommended to have routine glaucoma screening from the age of 40.

VISION SCREENING FOR CHILDREN
Some eye conditions in childhood can lead to a lifetime of weak vision (amblyopia, “lazy eye”). As young children are unable to complain about their eyesight, parents may be unaware that there is a problem until the time for effective treatment has passed. This is why all children should have a vision screening test as part of the monitoring of their development.
Our optometrists will carry out the vision screening and let you know the results. If they find an abnormality, they will advise you to bring your child to see an eye specialist for a detailed examination.
This test does not include:
- Consultation with an eye specialist
- Eye tests that need pupil dilation
