Asia Eye Centre Cataract & Retina Specialist is a Singapore eye clinic led by Dr Nikolle Tan, a cataract surgeon and retina specialist with more than two decades of ophthalmic experience. Dr Tan holds sub-specialty training in diseases of the retina and received fellowship training from the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
The clinic offers comprehensive eye care under one roof, from diagnosis through to treatment, with a focus on cataract, retina and myopia conditions. It diagnoses and treats a wide range of eye conditions, including refractive errors like myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia and presbyopia, as well as age-related eye conditions such as cataracts, retinal tears and detachments, age-related macular degeneration, epiretinal membranes, macular holes, diabetic eye disease, retinal vein occlusions and glaucoma.
Treatment options include cataract surgery, retinal re-attachment surgery, vitrectomy, intravitreal injection therapy, laser treatments, myopia control for kids, and ICL for myopia and astigmatism correction in adults. Based at Royal Square Medical Centre, the clinic emphasises modern facilities and personalised treatment plans for patients of all ages.
Asia Eye Centre Cataract & Retina Specialist is built around the expertise of a single doctor: Dr Nikolle Tan, whose more than two decades in ophthalmology, sub-specialty training in retinal disease, and fellowship training at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital and Harvard Medical School underpin the clinic's focus on cataract, retina and myopia care.
The clinic diagnoses and treats conditions across two main groups. On the refractive side, this includes myopia (including in children), astigmatism, hyperopia and presbyopia — the everyday vision issues that affect how clearly patients see at different distances. On the ageing eye side, Asia Eye Centre covers cataracts, retinal tears and detachments, age-related macular degeneration, epiretinal membranes, macular holes, diabetic eye disease, retinal vein occlusions and glaucoma — conditions that often require more specialised retinal expertise to diagnose and manage effectively.
Matching that range of conditions, the clinic's treatment list spans cataract surgery, retinal re-attachment surgery, vitrectomy, and intravitreal injection therapy for retinal disease, alongside laser treatments for various eye conditions. For children with progressing myopia, the clinic offers dedicated myopia control treatment, while adults with myopia or astigmatism can be assessed for ICL (implantable collamer lens) correction as an alternative to glasses or contact lenses.
Asia Eye Centre positions itself around a few consistent themes: over 20 years of ophthalmic expertise concentrated in Dr Tan, comprehensive eye care services delivered under one roof rather than split across referrals, modern facilities, and personalised treatment plans built around each patient's specific vision and eye health needs.
Patient feedback shared on the clinic's site reinforces this focus on individual care. One patient describes their father being treated by Dr Tan for a burst blood vessel behind the eye, noting her precise, easy-to-understand explanations in both English and Mandarin, and the trust that built up between doctor and patient — trust strong enough that the family followed her when she opened Asia Eye Centre at Royal Square Medical Centre. Another patient, whose mother has seen Dr Tan for multiple eye conditions over many years, highlights her professionalism, her fluency in English and Mandarin, and her habit of clearly explaining the risks and benefits of any treatment while respecting the patient's own decisions. A third review simply calls the clinic well-equipped and the care thorough, describing every visit as a pleasure.
The clinic is located at 101 Irrawaddy Road, #20-07, Royal Square Medical Centre, Singapore 329565, and can be reached by phone at (65) 6256 5188, by fax at (65) 6256 4188, or by email at [email protected]. Appointments and enquiries can also be made through the clinic's online contact form, though the clinic notes this form is intended for booking and general contact rather than for answering medical questions directly.
For anyone in Singapore dealing with cataracts, a retinal condition, or ongoing myopia — whether for themselves or a child — Asia Eye Centre's pitch is centred on continuity: a single, highly experienced specialist guiding diagnosis through to treatment, with the bilingual communication and thoroughness that patients repeatedly point to in their feedback.
