About Dr Inez Wong Paediatric Ophthalmology
Dr Inez Wong Paediatric Ophthalmology is a specialist eye-care practice based at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, serving patients islandwide. The listing has been verified by KakiList, though no ACRA registration or regulatory licences have been confirmed in the directory data at this time. The practice holds a 4.2/5 rating across 99 Google reviews — approaching a robust sample, and broadly indicative of patient experience.
Parents typically seek paediatric ophthalmology input when a child's school vision screening flags a concern, when a GP or paediatrician notices a squint or lazy eye (amblyopia), or when parents observe symptoms such as eye-rubbing, head-tilting, or difficulty tracking. At a first specialist consultation, the ophthalmologist will conduct a full paediatric eye assessment — visual acuity testing adapted for the child's age, cover testing for strabismus, cycloplegic refraction (eye drops to relax focusing muscles and obtain an accurate glasses prescription), and a dilated fundus examination where indicated. For conditions such as amblyopia, myopia progression, or congenital abnormalities, the doctor will outline a management plan that may include spectacles, patching, orthotics, or surgical intervention. Planned procedures should be accompanied by a written financial counselling estimate itemising insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket portions before any deposit is paid; confirm with your Integrated Shield Plan insurer whether pre-authorisation or a Letter of Guarantee is required.
To begin, contact the practice directly via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to request a first specialist consultation appointment at the Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre clinic, and bring any prior vision-screening reports or referral letters from your child's paediatrician or GP.

★★★★★
Even though the clinic is indeed crowded, this also shows that the doctor and her staff are highly regarded as key experts. While the eye exam is a little pricey, it was much more informative than the usual free eye exam one does at normal optician shops. Dr Leo was able to give very clear and practical diagnosis of the eye scans and summarised clearly the fda approved eye drop - outlining risks and benefits for my presbyopia. So far it’s been great.

I had an eye infection, and Dr Leo provided helpful guidance on how to manage it. She was detailed in her assessment and prescribed the necessary eye drops for treatment. The visit was informative and reassuring.

★★★★★
I had been experiencing frequent headaches, but I wasn't sure if my vision was the cause. Dr Leo performed a thorough eye exam, looking for any signs of strain. She ruled out anything serious and explained how things like posture and lighting might be playing a role.

★★★★★
When it comes to my child's eye health, there's no one I trust more than Dr Leo. Her patience and gentle manner with kids are truly admirable. My child was diagnosed with a rare eye condition, and Dr Leo's skill in explaining complex matters in child-friendly way greatly eased our concerns.

Brought my 2 years old son to see Dr Leo yesterday. At first I was quite worried whether my son will cooperate or not, but the professionalism & patience from the Dr and the staff made me relief. They have toys&videos to attract kids' attention while doing test. I will strongly recommend Dr Leo to my friends.

Is Dr Inez Wong Paediatric Ophthalmology MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
Every legitimate clinic operating in Singapore holds an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory. No licence details have been provided in this listing, so parents should confirm the clinic's MOH licence directly and verify the consulting doctor's registration on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg. Search by the doctor's name to confirm active registration status, specialist accreditation in Ophthalmology, and any disciplinary history. For paediatric eye surgery, a fellowship credential — such as FRCS (Ophth) or FAMS — is the meaningful specialist credential beyond basic SMC registration. Confirm both the clinic's MOH licence and the named doctor's SMC entry before booking; neither alone is sufficient for a full picture of the practice's regulatory standing.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Dr Inez Wong Paediatric Ophthalmology?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays subject to each plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider structure. For any planned ophthalmic procedure — such as strabismus surgery or ptosis repair — confirm pre-authorisation with your IP insurer and obtain a Letter of Guarantee before the procedure to avoid post-discharge claim disputes. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the MediSave 500/700 withdrawal limits (S$500/year general outpatient, S$700/year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme for listed conditions). For day-surgery procedures, separate MediSave withdrawal limits and Medisave-approved procedure codes apply — ask the clinic for the specific codes upfront. Request a written financial counselling session at the clinic before any procedure; most private medical centres will issue an itemised pre-treatment estimate splitting insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket amounts. Skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by their final bill.
