Worried about your vision?

Get a Comprehensive Cataract & Glaucoma Screening with our Eye Specialist, Dr Roy Tan at $88

Why Early Detection Matters

Cataracts and glaucoma are two of the most common — and preventable — causes of vision loss as we age.

The challenge? Most people don’t notice anything wrong until it’s too late.

A simple screening can help catch issues before they become irreversible.

What’s Included in Your $88 Screening

Your screening is comprehensive, with no hidden fees and no pressure to commit to treatment. It includes:

Visual Acuity Test

Measures how clearly you can see at various distances.

Eye Pressure Check (Intraocular Pressure Test)

Helps detect signs of glaucoma by measuring pressure inside your eye.

Comprehensive Eye Examination

Includes both anterior (front of eye) and posterior (back of eye) assessments.

Optic Nerve Screening

Check the health of your optic nerve to catch early signs of glaucoma.

Fundus Photography (Retina Photo)

Captures a detailed image of your retina to identify early changes from cataracts, glaucoma, or other retinal issues.

Consultation with a Specialist

Have your results explained clearly by an experienced ophthalmologist. There’s no pressure to commit to treatment, and no hidden fees – just straightforward advice and care.

Cataracts vs Glaucoma: What’s the Difference?

While both glaucoma and cataracts are common age-related eye conditions that can impair vision, they affect the eye in fundamentally different ways, leading to distinct sets of symptoms. Many individuals may experience both conditions, making a comprehensive eye examination even more essential for pinpointing the exact cause of any visual changes.

At Dr Roy Tan’s clinic, we frequently screen for both conditions during our comprehensive eye assessments, ensuring a holistic understanding of your eye health.

How Glaucoma Symptoms Affect Your Vision

Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often due to high pressure inside the eye.

Unlike cataracts, glaucoma can cause permanent vision loss if not caught early — and often has no warning signs.

Early symptoms may include:

Patchy blind spots in peripheral (side) vision
Eye pain, redness, or blurring of vision
Difficulty adjusting to dark rooms
In advanced stages: tunnel vision or vision loss

How Cataract Symptoms Affect Your Vision

Cataracts happen when the natural lens of your eye becomes cloudy, usually due to age.

They develop slowly and can eventually interfere with daily activities.

Common symptoms include:

Blurry or cloudy vision
Glare or halos around lights
Difficulty seeing at night
Faded colours
Frequent changes in prescription glasses

Who Should Get Screened?

You should book a screening if you fall into at least two of the below areas:

Are 45 or older
Have a family history of cataracts or glaucoma
Notice blurred, cloudy, or tunnel vision
Have been told you have high eye pressure
Simply want peace of mind about your vision

FAQ about the screening

Will I need surgery if I have cataracts or glaucoma?

Not necessarily. The screening helps detect early signs. If a condition is found, your ophthalmologist will advise you on the next steps — which may include monitoring, medication, or surgery. There’s no pressure or obligation to proceed with treatment.

Is the $88 all-inclusive?

Yes. The $88 covers all tests listed above, a consultation with an ophthalmologist, and retinal imaging — with no hidden fees.

If glaucoma is suspected, additional tests may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis as part of a more in-depth eye examination.

Do I need to prepare anything before the appointment?

No special preparation is needed. Just bring your current glasses (if any) and any previous eye health records, if available. Please do not wear contact lenses to the appointment.

How often should I get an eye screening?

If you’re over 45, it’s recommended to have an eye screening every 1 to 2 years — even if you have no symptoms. Early detection is key for conditions like cataracts and glaucoma, which can develop without warning signs.

Are eye screenings painful?

No, the screening is painless and non-invasive. Some tests involve looking at lights or gentle air puffs to measure eye pressure, but they are quick and comfortable. Most patients feel completely at ease during the process.
