Ong's Optics was established in 1985 by Mr. Ong Boon San, an experienced Optician who still manages the practice today. Over the years, the business has grown to two outlets, built around a focus on quality optical products, excellent service, and professional eye care, working alongside ophthalmologists (private and hospital) to help clients identify and cope with ocular issues.
The practice's chief optometrist, Dr. Alex Ong, graduated from Singapore Polytechnic before completing a Bachelor's degree in Optometry and a Master's in Clinical Optometry at Salus University in the United States, and was later conferred Doctor of Optometry by Aston University in the UK. His clinical interests include evidence-based children's myopia management, presbyopia management with ophthalmic and contact lenses, binocular vision management, and ocular disease detection. He currently serves as an Associate Lecturer at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, supervising optometry students, and is a key opinion leader for Alcon Vision Care Division.
Ong's Optics offers spectacle and contact lenses, fundus and binocular vision examinations, dry eye treatment, and colour vision examinations, alongside specialised myopia management using Orthokeratology (Ortho-K), MiSight lenses, and myopia control spectacle lenses like Myovision Pro and MyoKids, as well as presbyopia solutions including multifocal contact lenses, progressive lenses and dual-focus contact lenses.
Ong's Optics has been part of Singapore's eye care landscape since 1985, when it was established by Mr. Ong Boon San, an experienced Optician who continues to manage the practice today. Over four decades, the business has grown from a single outlet to two, built around a consistent focus on quality optical products, excellent service and professional eye care.
At the centre of Ong's Optics is Dr. Alex Ong, who graduated as an Optometrist from Singapore Polytechnic before completing a Bachelor's degree in Optometry and a Master's in Clinical Optometry at Salus University in the United States. He went on to be conferred Doctor of Optometry by Aston University in the UK. Dr. Ong's clinical interests centre on evidence-based children's myopia management, presbyopia management using both ophthalmic and contact lenses, binocular vision management, and ocular disease detection. Beyond the clinic, he serves as an Associate Lecturer at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, supervising optometry students, and is a key opinion leader for Alcon Vision Care Division.
Ong's Optics offers a full range of core services, including spectacle and contact lens fitting, fundus examination (checking the back of the eye, or retina), binocular vision examination to assess how well the two eyes work together, dry eye examination and treatment, and colour vision examination.
A particular focus of the practice is myopia management, especially for children. Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, is offered as a non-surgical option that restores vision overnight through a specially designed contact lens worn while sleeping, eliminating the need for daytime glasses or contacts entirely. For children not suited to contact lenses, or whose parents prefer not to use them, Ong's Optics also offers myopia control spectacle lenses such as Myovision Pro and MyoKids lenses, designed to help slow the progression of myopia.
For adults experiencing presbyopia - the normal loss of near focusing ability that typically begins around age 40 - Ong's Optics offers multifocal contact lenses that provide clear vision at all distances for those with myopia, hyperopia and presbyopia combined, alongside progressive lenses and Dual Focus Contact Lenses (DFCL), a daytime soft lens option with a concentric dual-focus design that also serves as an alternative myopia management approach.
Reflecting its focus on this area of eye care, Ong's Optics operates a dedicated Myopia Management Centre, bringing together the practice's expertise in Ortho-K, MiSight, and myopia control lenses under one roof for families seeking a considered, evidence-based approach to managing their children's vision.
Ong's Optics is open Monday to Saturday from 10:30am to 9:00pm, and Sundays and public holidays from 10:30am to 6:00pm. The Jurong West outlet is located at Blk 498 Jurong West St 41, #01-468, Singapore 640498, and can be reached by phone at +65 6566 4388 or by email at info@ongsoptics.com.sg.
