Your Clinic Visit

Welcome to Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC). Please take a few minutes to read through this  page and prepare for your visit to SNEC.

What to bring for my appointment?

• Singapore NRIC, Birth certificate (if you are under 15) or Passport and Employment Pass/Work Permit/Dependent Pass
  
  
• Civil Service Card/Public Service Card (for civil servants and their dependants only)
  
  
• Any other medical benefits eligibility cards/documents
  
  
• If you are wearing contact lenses, we strongly encourage you to wear your glasses during the visit; otherwise, you can bring your contact lens case and your glasses
  
  
• Sunglasses – some patients find this useful after they have had eye drops
  
  
• Referral letter from your polyclinic/other healthcare institutions/private doctor (for first visit)
  
  
• Medication, if any (for first visit). If you run out of medication before your next appointment, please top up your medication through our Medication Delivery Service in Health Buddy.

• Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. Do note that patients who are more than 30 minutes late will have their appointment rescheduled. 
  

• For your first eye appointment to SNEC, the visit may take 3 to 4 hours as patients may need to do eye tests with pupil dilation that will cause blurred vision.  
  

• You are advised not to drive to SNEC on the day of your appointment – the tests you need may affect your vision, i.e., your vision may be blurred for a few hours. Please arrange for someone to accompany you or pick you up after your consultation.
