Eye Max Centre: Eye Specialist Care in Singapore at Mount Elizabeth Novena

Eye Max Centre is a family's go-to eye care clinic based at Mount Elizabeth Novena Specialist Centre in Singapore, offering consultations across a range of common and more complex eye conditions. The centre positions itself as a comprehensive, one-stop eye specialist practice for adults and families seeking clear diagnosis and appropriate treatment for their eye health.

Specialist-Led Care

At the centre of Eye Max Centre's care are Senior Ophthalmologists Dr Elaine Huang and Dr Eugenie Poh, who bring more than 20 years of combined experience in retinal conditions, cataract surgery and oculoplastic procedures. Dr Huang is a recipient of the Silver Award of SingHealth Excellent Service and specialises in retinal detachment, retinal tears, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration treatments — conditions that often present with symptoms like floaters, flashes of light, dark spots or distorted vision. All consultations and procedures are carried out by SMC-registered eye doctors.

A Wide Range of Conditions and Treatments

Eye Max Centre manages common conditions including cataract, glaucoma, dry eye, presbyopia and childhood myopia, alongside more specialised retinal and oculoplastic conditions such as floaters, diabetic eye disease, retinal detachment, droopy eyelids (ptosis), malpositioned eyelids and stye. On the treatment side, services span cataract surgery, glaucoma treatment, retinal disease treatment, intravitreal injection therapy, laser therapy, floaters treatment, vitrectomy and scleral buckle, diabetic eye disease treatment, and oculoplastic procedures including ptosis correction surgery, orbital decompression surgery and dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for lacrimal duct issues.

Why Regular Eye Examinations Matter

The clinic highlights that routine eye examinations are generally recommended for adults aged 45 and above, since several eye conditions are age-related and can develop without obvious symptoms early on. A published study cited by the clinic projects the prevalence of cataract, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma in Singapore to rise by approximately 32% to 39% between 2020 and 2030 — underlining the value of catching conditions early. As part of this, the centre offers a cataract screening, involving a clinical assessment by the ophthalmologist that may also include checks for glaucoma and other retinal disorders.

Transparent, Patient-First Approach

Eye Max Centre describes its mission as providing optimal patient-focused eye care by advancing its knowledge, deepening its expertise, and applying medical best practices, with a vision of improving the eye health of everyone it comes into contact with. This is underpinned by values of putting patients first, honesty and transparency, and a results-focused approach. In practice, that means indicative consultation and procedure fees are published on the clinic's fees page, with Medisave and insurance usable where applicable, subject to scheme conditions, and treatment options, expected outcomes and risks explained clearly during consultation.

The centre has also built a public profile beyond the clinic itself, contributing articles on eye conditions and treatment to medical, health and lifestyle publications including This Quarterly and PRIME.
