The Division of Ophthalmology at Changi General Hospital provides both basic and specialised eye care services to the community. Our professionally trained consultants from the SIngapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) provide specialised treatment to patients with a wide variety of eye problems.

Specialised equipment such as the argon laser for treatment of diabetic eye diseases, and computerised visual field analysers for assessment of glaucoma, are available. A trained optometrist helps in the prescription of glasses for both adults and children. All surgeries are conducted at our 22- bed Day Surgery Suite. Over 90% of the surgeries do not require hospital admission. The theatre is equipped with a phaco-emulsification machine for small incision cataract surgery.
