About Mee Mee Optics

Mee Mee Optics (Bukit Timah) is an optometry practice offering comprehensive eye examinations and advanced diagnostic testing, alongside contact lens fitting, spectacle prescriptions, and myopia control for children. It is one of two Mee Mee locations in Singapore, alongside Mee Mee Eyecare at 313@Somerset.

The practice notes that Singapore has one of the highest rates of myopia in the world, especially among children, and recommends children have their first vision check at 6 months old, with regular checkups at least every two years — a schedule it also recommends for adults, more frequently for those with conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.

Mee Mee Optics Bukit Timah: Eye Care and Myopia Control

Mee Mee Optics in Bukit Timah Plaza offers a full range of eye care services, from routine examinations to advanced diagnostic imaging, contact lens fitting and myopia control for children.

Why regular eye exams matter

The practice points to Singapore's high rate of myopia, particularly troubling in young children, as one reason regular eye checks matter. It recommends children have their first vision check at 6 months old, with checkups at least every two years after that, while adults should see an optometrist at least every two years — more often if they have a health condition such as high blood pressure or diabetes. People in visually demanding jobs, such as long hours at a computer screen or working outdoors in the sun, are also encouraged to seek advice on protecting their vision.

Diagnostic technology

Beyond the general eye exam, Mee Mee Optics offers a range of specialist diagnostic tools. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) uses light waves to take cross-section images of the retina, aiding early detection of conditions like age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease. Corneal Topography maps the curve of the cornea, helping fit contact lenses and assess corneal health, while Computerized Tonometry checks eye pressure to screen for glaucoma. Visual Field Analysis detects loss of peripheral or central vision, Subjective Refraction determines the most accurate prescription, and the Slit-lamp Exam and Ophthalmoscopy give detailed views of the front and back of the eye respectively — useful for spotting everything from cataracts to diabetic complications.

Contact lenses and myopia control

Mee Mee Optics fits both soft and gas permeable (GP) contact lenses, and stocks the ACUVUE Oasys 1-Day range, including versions with Hydraluxe Technology for comfort and a version designed for astigmatism, as well as the cosmetic 1-Day ACUVUE Define line. GP lenses, custom-made to the exact curvature of a patient's cornea, are noted for retaining their shape better than soft lenses and offering sharper vision, with each pair lasting up to 18 months.

For children, the practice offers myopia control, alongside pediatric and geriatric screening more broadly, reflecting its focus on managing vision across every stage of life.
