KJ Optometrists (SingPost), at #B1-121 Singapore Post Centre on Eunos Road 8, is the Singapore Post Centre branch of a homegrown Singaporean eye care practice established in the 1980s. From its early days in Tanjong Katong, the practice has built a longstanding reputation among customers for professional, quality primary eye care, and today runs three branches including this one.
What sets the practice apart starts with its people: all staff are fully qualified optometrists, so you are always attended to professionally. Services span the prescription and dispensing of glasses and contact lenses through to the detection of eye complications such as cataracts, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration using advanced diagnostic equipment, including a slit lamp for examining the front of the eye and a specialised retinal camera for screening the back.
The SingPost branch keeps the same hours every day of the week, 11:00am to 8:00pm, and welcomes walk-ins as well as online bookings. Alongside clinical care, the practice carries a wide range of branded eyewear — names like Chopard, Gucci, Prada, Swarovski, Tom Ford, Hugo Boss and Porsche Design, plus Ray-Ban, Oakley, Silhouette, DITA and more — and is licensed by the Health Ministry to perform eye tests on children, with frames made specifically for them.
KJ Optometrists (SingPost) brings a homegrown Singaporean eye care practice to the basement of Singapore Post Centre at 10 Eunos Road 8. Established in the 1980s, with early roots laid down in Tanjong Katong, the practice has spent decades building a reputation for professional, quality primary eye care — and this branch carries the same approach, open every day from 11:00am to 8:00pm.
One thing regulars appreciate: every member of the team is a qualified optometrist. Whoever attends to you is trained to examine eyes, not just dispense frames, and that shapes how appointments go here — thorough, unhurried and grounded in clinical equipment rather than guesswork.
The centrepiece is the comprehensive eye examination. Beyond checking your prescription, it includes an anterior eye examination using a slit lamp — a microscope with a bright light used to study the cornea, crystalline lens and other front-of-eye structures — plus a posterior eye examination with a specialised retinal camera, an intra-ocular pressure test and a detailed examination report.
That depth matters because many sight-threatening conditions are quiet. The practice notes that glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, leading causes of blindness worldwide, do not necessarily exhibit symptoms, and that in Singapore glaucoma accounts for around 40% of blindness. Screenings here look for cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, as well as more everyday findings like dry eye and conjunctivitis.
A separate suite of diagnostic tests covers colour vision assessment, stereopsis, squint eye examination, the Amsler grid test, dry eye testing and binocular vision assessment. Children are well looked after too: the optometrists are licensed by the Health Ministry to perform eye tests on children, and the practice stocks spectacle frames designed specifically for kids.
Contact lens care runs from beginner to specialist. A standard consultation includes a prescription check, an assessment of eye health, lens fitting and assessment, and follow-up where needed. First-time soft lens wearers are entitled to five pairs of trial lenses for teaching and trial fitting — daily disposables, while monthly lens wearers receive one extra pair. The range covers spherical and astigmatic disposable lenses, cosmetic disposables, multifocal soft lenses and extended wear conventional lenses.
For eyes that need more than soft contacts, the specialty fitting service handles rigid gas-permeable lenses, RGP bifocals, orthokeratology lenses for myopia control, Rose K lenses for irregular corneas and prosthetic lenses. The ortho-k package bundles a consultation, corneal mapping and a detailed follow-up plan, reflecting how much of the practice's work involves partnering long term with patients as their vision changes — from childhood myopia through to presbyopia.
Eyewear is treated as part of the clinical story rather than an afterthought. Brands on hand include Chopard, Gucci, Prada, Swarovski, Tom Ford, Hugo Boss and Porsche Design, alongside Ray-Ban, Oakley, Silhouette, DITA, Yellows Plus, Agnes B, Rudy Project and Charmant across frames and sunglasses.
Practically, the branch is easy to work into a day: it sits at #B1-121 Singapore Post Centre, keeps identical 11:00am to 8:00pm hours seven days a week, and takes online bookings — simply select the SingPost option on the practice's booking page. Walk-ins can call 6844 2555 to check availability first.
Whether you are due an annual examination, getting headaches in your current spectacles, trying contacts for the first time or managing a child's myopia, this is a practice that treats eye care as a long-term partnership — fitting, really, for a team that has been at it since the 1980s.
