About Dr Kelvin Teo Paediatric Ophthalmology
Dr Kelvin Teo Paediatric Ophthalmology is a specialist eye care provider located at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, offering paediatric ophthalmology services across Singapore. KakiList has verified the operating details and contact channels. With only 4 Google reviews at a rating of 5/5, the sample is too small to draw firm conclusions, and prospective patients should weigh it accordingly. Pricing is indicated at the mid-range tier ($$), though specific consultation fees have not been published and should be confirmed directly with the clinic.
Paediatric ophthalmology covers the assessment and management of eye conditions in infants, children, and adolescents — including myopia, amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (squint), congenital cataracts, ptosis, and developmental vision delays. A first specialist consultation typically involves a comprehensive eye examination, including visual acuity testing, cycloplegic refraction, and fundal assessment, with further investigations such as OCT or ERG arranged as clinically indicated. Parents attending a first visit should bring the child's health booklet, any existing spectacle prescriptions, and school or developmental reports where relevant. For planned procedures or surgical interventions, the clinic should provide a written financial counselling estimate that itemises insurance coverage, MediSave withdrawals, and out-of-pocket costs before any deposit is paid. Integrated Shield Plan holders should request pre-authorisation from their insurer.
To arrange a consultation, contact Dr Kelvin Teo Paediatric Ophthalmology via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to confirm appointment availability, the consultation fee, and what to bring for your child's first visit.

My vision had been getting worse, so I consulted Dr. Teo. I truly appreciate the care and treatment he provided. During my first visit, he carefully diagnosed my condition and explained the problem and treatment in very simple terms, which helped me clearly understand why my vision was blurred and what needed to be done. Dr. Teo was extremely patient, kind, and very down-to-earth. I was quite scared about the injections in my eyes and the laser procedure, but he reassured me with calm explanations and a warm smile, which gave me a lot of confidence and comfort. With his support and treatment, my vision has improved significantly now. I truly appreciate his professionalism and compassionate care. I now feel a strong sense of trust in him—it feels more like a family-level trust with Dr. Teo.

Got a surgery slot quickly and the bilateral retinopexy surgery went smoothly with fantastic results. Dr Kelvin Teo is super friendly and takes the time to explain everything clearly, addressing all my concerns and questions — which made the whole experience much less intimidating! Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Dr Kelvin Teo Paediatric Ophthalmology charge?›

Is Dr Kelvin Teo Paediatric Ophthalmology MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No regulatory licences are currently listed for this provider on KakiList. Before booking, you should independently verify two things: first, that the clinic premises at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre hold a current MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act — searchable on the MOH licensee directory; second, that Dr Kelvin Teo is listed on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg, which will confirm active registration status and specialist accreditation in ophthalmology. For a paediatric ophthalmologist, a fellowship with the Royal College of Ophthalmologists (FRCOphth) or the College of Ophthalmologists of Singapore under the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS) is the meaningful additional specialist credential. Verify the clinic licence and the doctor's SMC entry before booking — neither alone is sufficient.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Dr Kelvin Teo Paediatric Ophthalmology?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life can cover private specialist consultations, investigations, and surgical procedures subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider structure. For any planned procedure — such as strabismus surgery, ptosis repair, or cataract extraction in a child — request pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee from your IP insurer before the procedure date to avoid claim disputes afterwards. MediSave can be used under the S$500/year general outpatient withdrawal limit for selected outpatient specialist visits, and selected paediatric eye surgical procedures may allow higher MediSave withdrawal under day-surgery provisions. Ask the clinic for a written financial counselling estimate that splits the expected insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portion before committing to any procedure. Skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by their final bill.
