About Dr Leo Adult and Paediatric Eye Specialist
Dr Leo Adult and Paediatric Eye Specialist is an ophthalmology practice located at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, serving patients islandwide across both adult and paediatric eye conditions. The practice has not been verified against ACRA, and no regulatory licences have been confirmed in the listing data. It holds a 4.2/5 rating across 99 Google reviews, which represents a moderate sample and can be treated as a reasonable directional signal, though prospective patients should verify the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence and the consulting doctor's SMC registration independently before booking.
For a first appointment, patients typically enquire via WhatsApp, phone, or the contact form before attending a consultation at the Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre premises. Paediatric eye conditions commonly seen at specialist level include amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (squint), myopia control (including orthokeratology and atropine therapy), congenital cataracts, and paediatric glaucoma — conditions that often benefit from early detection, which the Health Promotion Board's nationally recommended vision screening at pre-school and Primary 1 level is designed to catch. Adult conditions include cataract surgery, diabetic retinopathy review, glaucoma monitoring, and general refractive assessment. For any planned procedure, the clinic should provide a written financial counselling estimate itemising consultation, investigations (such as OCT, visual field testing, or biometry), surgical fee, hospital facility charges, anaesthesia, and the split between Integrated Shield Plan coverage, MediSave, and out-of-pocket cost before any deposit is paid.
To take the next step, contact Dr Leo Adult and Paediatric Eye Specialist via WhatsApp, phone, or the online enquiry form to confirm the consulting doctor's availability, current consultation fees, and which investigations are likely to be needed at the first visit — then verify the doctor's SMC registration and specialist accreditation on smc.gov.sg before attending.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Dr Leo Adult and Paediatric Eye Specialist charge?›
Private ophthalmology consultations in Singapore typically run S$120–250 for a first visit and S$80–180 for follow-ups. Common investigations billed on top include optical coherence tomography (OCT) at S$80–180, visual field testing at S$60–120, refraction assessment at S$30–80, and biometry for cataract surgical planning at S$100–200. Cataract surgery at a private hospital commonly costs S$3,500–8,000 per eye depending on lens type and facility class; strabismus surgery and other paediatric procedures vary widely. Any planned procedure should come with a written financial counselling estimate that splits Integrated Shield Plan payout, MediSave deduction (cataract surgery and selected eye procedures qualify for MediSave withdrawal), and out-of-pocket cost before you pay any deposit. GST applies on private medical services. See the full paediatric cost guide for Singapore →
Is Dr Leo Adult and Paediatric Eye Specialist MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
Every legitimate ophthalmology clinic must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory online. The consulting ophthalmologist must also appear on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg; search by name to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation in Ophthalmology, and any disciplinary history. No licences have been confirmed in the current listing data for this provider, so it is important that you complete both checks independently before booking. For surgical work, a Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) or Fellowship of the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS) in Ophthalmology is the meaningful additional credential beyond basic SMC registration. Confirm both the clinic licence and the named doctor's SMC entry — neither alone is sufficient.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Dr Leo Adult and Paediatric Eye Specialist?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life can cover private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient procedures subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. For planned eye surgery such as cataract extraction, confirm pre-authorisation and request a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before the procedure to avoid claim disputes afterwards. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient treatments and day surgery — cataract surgery typically qualifies for MediSave withdrawal under the surgical schedule; routine consultations and refractive work generally do not. For paediatric conditions, many investigations and procedures attract standard IP and MediSave rules applicable to children. Request a financial counselling session at the clinic before committing to any procedure — a written itemised estimate covering the insurance portion, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket amount should be provided as standard practice. Skipping this step is the most common reason patients are surprised by their final bill.
