OJO, KAI JOO is a Singapore optometry and eyecare group with roots going back to the 1990s, growing from a single outlet to four locations across the island. The practice says it drew inspiration from the Gold Standard of Optometric Practices in Australia and the United Kingdom, and positions itself around caring for the community's eye and hearing health.
The team includes 10 optometrists and 3 opticians with a range of clinical specialisations. Named practitioners include Lee Kang Lian, known for his focus on myopia control (myopia control lenses and orthokeratology); Lee Kai Hing, an experienced optometrist who has helped train the wider team; and Lee Chin Lian (Jenny), who specialises in ocular disease, myopia management and specialty contact lens fitting, including RGP, keratoconus and orthokeratology lenses.
Services span orthokeratology and myopia control for children, presbyopia management ("Lau Hua"), contact lens fitting, frames, lenses and sunglasses, eye examinations, and hearing aid management. OJO also carries an extensive range of eyewear brands, including Gucci, Prada, Dior, Tom Ford, Burberry, Tiffany & Co, Ray-Ban, Oakley and Swarovski, alongside contact lens brands such as Alcon, CooperVision and Acuvue. Contact lenses can be purchased online, though a valid eye test prescription is required.
OJO, KAI JOO has been a name in Singapore optometry since the 1990s, growing from its first outlet into a four-location practice across the island. The group frames its approach around a specific benchmark — the Gold Standard of Optometric Practices in Australia and the United Kingdom — as the model for how it cares for its community's eye health.
What sets OJO, KAI JOO apart from a typical neighbourhood optical shop is the depth of its team: 10 optometrists and 3 opticians, each bringing different clinical specialisations. Lee Kang Lian is known for his focus on myopia control, using myopia control lenses and orthokeratology, and has built a reputation for approachable, professional service. Lee Kai Hing is an experienced optometrist described as sincere and devoted to patients' well-being, who has helped train the wider team to a consistent standard. Lee Chin Lian, known as Jenny, specialises in ocular disease, myopia management and specialty contact lens fitting — including RGP, keratoconus and orthokeratology lenses — drawing on a lifetime of exposure to the field.
OJO's service list goes well beyond standard eye exams and frames. The practice runs a dedicated orthokeratology and myopia control programme for children, aimed at halting the progression of myopia rather than simply correcting it with spectacles. For older customers, presbyopia management — referred to locally as "Lau Hua" — addresses the common difficulty of reading small text or seeing close objects clearly as vision changes with age. The practice has also expanded into hearing aid management, recognising that many people in Singapore live with undiagnosed mild or partial hearing loss.
OJO stocks an extensive range of eyewear brands, including Adidas, agnès b., Armani Exchange, Burberry, Dior, Emporio Armani, Fendi, Gucci, Hugo Boss, IC Berlin, Jimmy Choo, Kate Spade, New Balance, Oakley, Police, Porsche, Prada, Puma, Ray-Ban, Salvatore Ferragamo, Silhouette, Starck Eyes, Swarovski, Swissflex, Tiffany & Co, Tom Ford, Polaroid, Carrera and David Beckham Eyewear, among others. On the contact lens side, the practice carries brands such as Alcon (DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal), CooperVision (Biofinity) and Acuvue (ACUVUE OASYS 2-Week). Contact lenses can be purchased online through OJO's shop, though a valid eye test prescription is required before checkout.
Reviews highlight a consistently attentive, jargon-free approach to eye examinations, with one customer describing an optometrist named Jason as breaking down results in plain, non-technical language. Others point to the large frame selection and patient, helpful staff, including a reviewer who called out staff member Janet for her help choosing frames and lenses. Several reviewers describe multi-decade relationships with the practice — one family has been getting glasses from OJO for more than 20 years, while another customer is on their tenth pair of specs from the practice, praising the honest, budget-conscious advice rather than upselling.
OJO, KAI JOO operates under a few location-specific names — OJO Optometry, OJO Optometrist, OJO Visioncare, and Kai Joo Optometry — across its four outlets: Tampines 1, Parkway Parade, The Woodleigh Mall, and Simei's Eastpoint Mall, giving customers island-wide access to the same team's expertise in eyecare and hearing support.
