An eye examination for children is different from that of an adult. It has to cater to the child’s age and cognitive level. Paediatric Optometry Centre at IGARD group provides eye examination to children covering all age groups. Their centre in Singapore is best known for their work in Children Vision Development and Vision Therapy.
Most children should attend a Paediatric Eye Examination. The tests are catered towards their respective age groups and there are also tests suitable for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. For short-sighted school-aged children, they may need to get their eyes checked regularly and consider myopia control interventions.
Further tests may be needed for children who are pre-verbal or with special-needs. This includes children with learning challenges. In the first instance, please arrange an appointment for a detailed functional assessment of vision instead of a paediatric eye examination.

We have been going to Dr. Yap for 2 years. He's always very patient & Attentive towards our children's vision care and needs. He;s very professional and gives assuring advices.
Dr. Yap is super professional and very patient with my son. My son likes him alot as he was able to connect to children well with his friendly mannerism and bright smiles! I can see that he is an eye specialist for children with eye test board decorated with animals figures rather than boring numbers or alphabets! His office is also equipped with sweets and toys! He moved us to another room with special kit to test his eyes, everything looked very high tech! Totally recomment IGARD!
We had a great experience with Dr. Yap. We came with our daughter of 5 years old and he has known exactly how to put her in good conditions in order she enjots the moment spent with him during her eyes examination. His advice are very useful to her on a daily basis and we will continue to monitor carefully the situation with his help. We feel relieved about is and to have someone competent like him on who we can count on. Thanks again and don't hesitate to visit him! 🙂
