HOW REFRACTIVE CARE WORKS AT THE STRAITS EYE CENTRE

Good care begins with paying attention. We study how your eyes behave day to day, how stable your prescription has been and what you need for comfort and confidence. We explain each step with clarity, so your decisions feel calm and grounded rather than rushed or uncertain.

YOUR REFRACTIVE CARE JOURNEY

Every journey has a beginning. This one begins gently.

STEP ONE

Refractive care begins with a detailed assessment of your eyes, including your prescription stability, corneal shape, and overall eye health.
