Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child have their first eye examination?
Children should have an eye examination if there are concerns about their vision, if they have a family history of eye conditions, or as recommended by their doctor or optometrist.
How do I know if my child needs to see a paediatric eye specialist?
Signs such as squinting, sitting very close to screens, one eye turning in or out, frequent headaches, poor school performance related to vision, or failing a vision screening may indicate your child should be assessed.
What happens during my child's eye examination?
Your child's vision, eye alignment, eye health and prescription will be assessed using age-appropriate examination techniques. Additional tests may be performed if required.
What is myopia management?
Myopia management involves evidence-based approaches that aim to slow the progression of short-sightedness in children. The most suitable option depends on your child's eyes and lifestyle.
Can lazy eye (amblyopia) be treated?
Treatment is often possible, especially when detected early. Depending on the cause, options may include glasses, patching, eye drops or other treatments.
Can squints (strabismus) be corrected?
Many squints can be managed with glasses, observation, eye exercises or surgery, depending on the type and severity.
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Ng?
No. You can book an appointment directly without a referral.
How long will the appointment take?
A comprehensive paediatric eye assessment usually takes around 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the tests required and whether dilating eye drops are needed.
