Top LASIK / Laser Eye clinics
What a laser eye clinic treats
Laser eye clinics correct refractive errors such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism, reducing or removing the need for glasses or contact lenses. Common procedures include LASIK, SMILE and surface-ablation techniques such as PRK or epi-LASIK, while implantable collamer lenses (ICL) may suit people who are not candidates for laser surgery. A candidacy assessment checks your prescription stability, corneal thickness, tear film and eye health. Consider a clinic if you are bothered by dependence on glasses or contacts and want to understand whether surgery is suitable and which technique fits your eyes.
How to choose a laser eye clinic in Singapore

- Ask about the range of technologies offered and experience with each technique.
- Look for an honest candidacy assessment and clear, all-inclusive pricing.

Getting there
Many laser eye clinics are located in the Orchard medical belt (around Orchard MRT) and the Novena health-city belt (Novena MRT). Some refractive services are also offered through eye centres at the restructured hospitals. Check each clinic’s own address and nearest MRT or parking, and plan for someone to accompany you on the day of surgery.
Costs and financing
Laser vision correction is generally an elective procedure and is typically not claimable under MediSave or MediShield Life. Costs are usually paid out of pocket, and quoted prices may or may not include pre-operative assessment, the procedure and follow-up. Ask for an all-inclusive breakdown and confirm exactly what is covered before committing.
Common questions
Am I a suitable candidate for LASIK or SMILE?
Suitability depends on your prescription, corneal thickness, eye health and age. A thorough assessment will determine which technique, if any, is appropriate for you.
Can I claim laser eye surgery on MediSave or insurance?
As an elective refractive procedure, it is generally not MediSave or MediShield claimable. Confirm with the clinic and your insurer.
What is recovery like?
Recovery varies by technique. Many people return to normal activities within days, though surface ablation can take longer. Follow the clinic’s aftercare and review schedule.
