About Dr Leo Eye Specialist
About Dr Leo Eye Specialist
Dr Leo Eye Specialist is a private eye care clinic located at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, Singapore 228510, offering specialist ophthalmology services. The clinic has accumulated 99 Google reviews with a rating of 4.2 out of 5, a moderate sample that provides a reasonable directional indication of patient experience. No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration details have been provided in the current listing data, so prospective patients are advised to verify these directly before booking. Pricing is indicated at the mid-range tier ($$), though no specific consultation fees are listed.
Patients typically access private specialist eye care either by walking in directly — with a first consultation at a private ophthalmology clinic typically running S$120–250 — or via a polyclinic or GP referral letter to a public hospital Specialist Outpatient Clinic, which attracts a subsidised rate of S$30–80 for Singapore Citizens but carries a 4–12 week wait for non-urgent appointments. For paediatric eye conditions, the consultation will generally cover presenting concerns such as amblyopia, strabismus, myopia progression, or congenital eye conditions, with further investigations (visual acuity assessment, refraction, fundus examination, OCT, or orthoptic assessment) billed separately depending on clinical need. Families should confirm whether a referral letter is required for insurance pre-authorisation and whether the clinic holds a Letter of Guarantee arrangement with their Integrated Shield Plan insurer before the appointment.
To make an enquiry or request an appointment, contact Dr Leo Eye Specialist via WhatsApp, phone, or the online enquiry form, and have your child's referral letter, insurance details, and any prior eye assessment reports ready before your visit.

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 Eye Specialist charge?›
First specialist consultation at a private ophthalmology clinic in Singapore typically runs S$120–250, with follow-up visits at S$80–180. Dr Leo Eye Specialist has not published specific consultation fees in its current listing, so confirm the exact rate when booking. Common additional charges beyond the consultation include: visual field or OCT imaging (S$80–200), refraction and spectacle prescription (S$40–80), contact lens fitting, orthoptic assessment, and any prescribed medications. If a procedure such as strabismus correction, cataract surgery, or laser treatment is indicated, request a written financial counselling estimate that clearly separates the insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before proceeding. GST applies on private medical services. Patients attending via a polyclinic or GP referral to a public hospital Specialist Outpatient Clinic pay S$30–80 after subsidy for Singapore Citizens, though waits of 4–12 weeks apply for non-urgent cases.

Is Dr Leo Eye Specialist MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration details appear in the current listing for Dr Leo Eye Specialist. Both are mandatory for a legitimate private specialist clinic in Singapore: the clinic premises must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence (verifiable on the MOH licensee directory), and every practising doctor must appear on the SMC public register at smc.gov.sg, where you can confirm their registration status, specialist accreditation in Ophthalmology, and any disciplinary history. For ophthalmologists, a fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS Ophth) or the College of Ophthalmologists of the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS) is the meaningful specialist credential beyond basic SMC registration. Confirm both the clinic licence and the named doctor's SMC entry before booking — neither alone is sufficient. The clinic's Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre address is consistent with a private specialist setting, but this does not substitute for licence verification.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Dr Leo Eye Specialist?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life can cover private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient eye procedures subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. Confirm pre-authorisation and, for any planned procedure such as strabismus surgery or laser treatment, obtain a Letter of Guarantee from your IP insurer before the procedure to avoid claim disputes after the fact. MediSave can be used under the MediSave 500/700 outpatient withdrawal limits (S$500 per year for general outpatient, S$700 per year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme for listed chronic conditions). Selected eye conditions and surgical procedures also allow MediSave to be applied toward day surgery costs — confirm eligibility with the clinic's billing team. For any planned procedure, request a financial counselling session at the clinic. A written pre-treatment estimate splitting insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions is standard practice at private specialist clinics and helps avoid unexpected bills. Skipping this step is the most common reason patients are surprised by their final invoice.
