Tiong Bahru Eyecare & Myopia Clinic is a neighbourhood optometry practice at 11A Boon Tiong Road, founded on a simple idea: everyone deserves personalised, effective eye care — especially growing children and seniors. Established by experienced optometrists Eu Jin and Raymond Toh, the clinic brings together decades of clinical expertise, academic leadership and community warmth.
The clinic began as a response to rising childhood myopia in Singapore, and that proactive spirit shapes everything it does. Services include comprehensive eye exams that assess overall eye health rather than vision alone, myopia control programmes that slow short-sightedness in children and teens, Ortho-K lenses that correct vision overnight, and fitting for everything from daily disposable contact lenses to specialty lenses for complex prescriptions. A curated eyewear range rounds out the offering, with frames selected and fitted for style, comfort and precision.
The founders' credentials run deep: Eu Jin has over 30 years in optometry, a Ministry of Health Gold Medal to his name, and a career spanning hospital practice, lens R&D and optometry education, while Raymond trained at the University of Manchester and managed a polytechnic optometry centre before returning to private practice. Both are especially passionate about Orthokeratology and childhood myopia management.
Appointments can be booked online, via WhatsApp or by phone, and the clinic keeps waiting times short. It opens daily from 10:30am to 8pm, making it easy to visit after school or work — whether you're managing myopia, choosing new frames or simply looking for a caring professional to look after your eyes.
On the ground floor of a residential block at 11A Boon Tiong Road, Tiong Bahru Eyecare & Myopia Clinic practices eye care the neighbourhood way: unhurried, personal and thorough. Its tagline — "Crafting Your Vision, Elevating Your Journey" — captures the ethos of a clinic founded on a simple but powerful idea: everyone deserves personalised, effective eye care, especially growing children and seniors.
The clinic was born as a response to a concern many Singaporean parents share: the growing number of young children developing myopia, or short-sightedness, at an early age. Rather than simply prescribing stronger glasses year after year, founders Eu Jin and Raymond Toh set out to build a practice around proactive care — helping children and teens manage myopia safely, introducing life-changing solutions like Ortho-K lenses, offering accessible eye exams with short waiting times, and empowering parents with knowledge and guidance.
Eu Jin brings more than 30 years of dedication to optometry. He graduated top of his class with the Ministry of Health Gold Medal Award in 1997 and went on to earn a Bachelor of Optometry from the University of Melbourne, a Doctor of Naturopathy, and a Master's in Clinical Optometry from Aston University. His career has spanned retail practice, clinical work at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and collaboration with an R&D team developing breakthrough lens technologies — including early myopia control lenses now changing vision care. A published researcher and lecturer, he spent over two decades mentoring future optometrists at polytechnic and university level, and has conducted voluntary eye screenings across Cambodia, Malaysia and Singapore.
Raymond Toh, the clinic's co-founder, holds a Bachelor of Science in Optometry from the University of Manchester. He began his career in a major optical chain, rising quickly to a managerial role, then managed the Optometry Centre at a local polytechnic, guiding student optometrists serving the public. Now back in private practice, he is especially passionate about Orthokeratology and childhood myopia, having seen first-hand how overnight lenses can transform young patients' lives — freeing them to enjoy school, sports and daily life without glasses.
Myopia control is the flagship. Screenings and management plans aim to slow the progression of short-sightedness through the school-age years, when it typically advances fastest. The clinic's comprehensive eye exams go far beyond reading a chart: depending on your needs, a visit may include visual acuity and refraction, slit-lamp examination, eye pressure checks for glaucoma, retinal imaging and optic nerve examination, binocular vision assessment, depth perception and colour vision tests, eye muscle balance testing, axial length measurement to track myopia, and a macular pigment optical density test.
Orthokeratology is the other headline act. Ortho-K lenses are worn only while sleeping, gently reshaping the front surface of the eye overnight so patients wake to clear vision — no glasses, no daytime contacts, no surgery. With proper hygiene and regular checkups, it is a safe, non-invasive option used around the world. Around these specialist services, the clinic fits daily disposable and specialty contact lenses for complex prescriptions, and curates a range of glasses selected for style, comfort and precision.
Appointments can be booked online through the clinic's booking page, over WhatsApp, or by phone. Open every day from 10:30am to 8pm, the clinic makes it easy to fit an exam around school or work, and keeps waiting times short. Its published case studies hint at why patients stay: routine exams here have helped spot silent health issues before they escalate, and young myopes have graduated from glasses to what the clinic calls "Ortho-K freedom".
Above all, Tiong Bahru Eyecare sees itself as part of the community it serves — building long-term relationships with families, guiding them through every stage of life, and offering the latest in vision science in a friendly, approachable environment. As Eu Jin puts it: "Every pair of eyes tells a story. My role is to listen, understand, and provide care that's as unique as the person behind them."
