BEST PROVIDERS OF SPECIALIST CARE
OPHTHALMOLOGY SERVICE PROVIDER OF THE YEAR IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC
EAGLE EYE CENTRE
Eagle Eye Centre ’ s strength in the diagnosis and treatment of eye problems comes largely from the diverse range of sub-specialities followed by its doctors .
As a group with so many points of focus , the Singapore eye clinic is able to cater to all patients ’ needs by not only offering general ocular screening and treatment services , but also by dealing with a variety of complex cases that require a range of viewpoints . Its doctors regularly collaborate with other sub-specialists on specific cases so these can be quickly assessed and treated .
This is why Eagle Eye was recognised as the Ophthalmology Service Provider of the Year in the Asia-Pacific at this year ’ s Global Health Asia-Pacific awards .
“ Eagle Eye Centre has been rooted to its promise of providing high-quality eye care at affordable prices to our patients , while constantly reminding ourselves that medical excellence can only be achieved if it is accessible to as many people as possible ,” said Dr Julian Theng Thiam Siew , Eagle Eye ’ s founder and medical director .
“ We have prioritised the care of patients , as we believe that trust is the fundamental building block for organic growth ,” he said . “ This , combined with our family of professional staff , wide array of services , and our affordability and accessibility , has contributed to what Eagle Eye is today , and stands true to the award .”
Eagle Eye ’ s ophthalmologists have the expertise to treat and manage all eye problems from infancy and child-

hood to adolescence and adulthood . The range of its sub-speciality services is extremely broad , including treatments for paediatric and adult strabismus , or misaligned eyes , cataracts and refractive errors , and medical retina problems , as well as surgery .
Its patients are offered oculoplastics ( reconstructive and aesthetic procedures around the eyelids ), management for eye inflammation and uveitis ( a type of eye inflammation ). The clinic also operates neuro-ophthalmology and cornea services .
Last year , Eagle Eye launched a refractive suite at Royal Square Medical Centre at Novena , which offers an amalgamation of the latest in refractive and LASIK technology and services , such as Femto , or bladeless
LASIK , implantable collamer lenses , and cataract day surgery .
This clinic itself serves as a one-stop shop for all types of refractive treatments . Suitable options are offered to each patient , since the suite has all the means necessary to correct and treat all refractive errors with a tailor-made approach .
The clinic ’ s family-orientated environment is well-received by its staff , in a style of operation that stands out from bigger medical groups . In addition to conducting regular in-house events , Eagle Eye hosts a range of activities , such as employee retreats and team bonding sessions , to help build team spirit and camaraderie .
To expand its pool of expertise , Eagle Eye Centre is always on the lookout for like-minded doctors , both local and from overseas , to join the team .
“ It has always been the plan to have a clinical practice that provides a comprehensive range of specialties . A bigger practice gives Eagle Eye economies of scale to acquire the latest technology . Adapting to the new norm and digitalisation , automation of certain internal procedures are also in the pipeline ,” said Dr Theng .
“ Eagle Eye Centre has been rooted to its promise of providing highquality eye care at affordable prices to our patients , while constantly reminding ourselves that medical excellence can only be achieved if it is accessible to as many people as possible .”
