Wishing to convey in this review my incredibly positive experience with Dr Tan and her amazing team at Asia Pacific Eye Centre.The reason I came here for LASIK was because everyone was clamoring about this stellar doctor. Naturally, I was curious—who is she? After experiencing it for myself, I completely understand why people speak so highly of her.From the start, I felt that everything was so seamless. Dr Tan took the time to understand my concerns and build trust with me, which made a huge difference. Eye surgery always seemed nerve-wracking to me, but this felt different. There is something uniquely unsettling about the idea of anything happening to the eyes. Unlike a surface wound or an injury to a limb, vision is something I rely on every moment of the day, and the thought of something going wrong can feel terrifying. But with Dr Tan, I never had that fear. She was warm, reassuring, and incredibly thorough. I never once felt like just another patient being rushed through the process. Instead, I felt genuinely cared for, and that put me at ease.Dr Tan was also really clear about everything—whether I was suitable for LASIK, if she’d recommend something else, and she even took my budget into account, which I really appreciated.The entire experience, from consultation to surgery, was smooth. The staff were so friendly and professional, and I really appreciated how patient they were when guiding me through the different eye tests. Their instructions were always clear, and I never felt lost or unsure at any point. Even when making payment or scheduling my next appointment, the front desk staff were just as amazing. Everything was explained to me in detail, and there were no unexpected hiccups.The surgery itself was honestly a great experience. It was completely painless, and I never felt uncomfortable at any point. In fact, it was fun! If I could do it again, I would, simply because I know I would be in good hands.One thing I really appreciated was how well-managed the whole clinic was. My appointments were on time, and there was no excessive waiting. If my follow-up was scheduled for 10:30, I was usually out by 11:30. The entire process was efficient without ever feeling rushed, which I found really impressive.Overall, I had such a positive experience here, and I am incredibly grateful to Dr Tan and her team. Looking back, I honestly could not have asked for a smoother, more comfortable process. :D🌟☀️

I recently underwent cataract surgery with Dr. Tan Yar Li at Asia Pacific Eye Centre. Dr. Tan is approachable and easy to talk to, making me feel comfortable. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident as she thoroughly explained the procedure, addressing all my concerns with patience. The surgery itself was swift and painless, and I felt well-cared for throughout. Post-surgery, my vision has improved dramatically, and the recovery process was smooth, thanks to the clear guidance provided. The clinic’s staff were courteous and efficient, making each visit very pleasant. I highly recommend Dr. Tan to anyone considering eye treatment; her expertise and genuine care are truly commendable

Based on my previous positive experience and outcome from the trabeculectomy performed by Dr Tan Yar Li 7 years ago, I was very certain to seek Dr Tan for my cataract treatment. After my recent cataract surgery performed by Dr Tan, I am very much pleased with my decision as the experience from Pre to Post has been consistently excellent for me. Special thanks Dr Tan Yar Li. The nursing teams at the Asia Pacific Eye Centre and Gleneagles hospital have been attentive and assuring. During my day stay. Nurse Kin Ping was particularly helpful. Thank you 😊

Had decided to have LASIK done with Dr. Tan Yar Li & the experience has been very pleasant. Assessment was very in depth & subsequently suggested to me which operation was suitable for my eye. Underwent operation later in the same week & it took around 20 minutes for the whole operation to be done. Overall thankful & happy with the result I am experiencing today.

I recently visited Asia Pacific Eye Centre for an eye examination, and I must say, my experience was outstanding. The doctors and nurses were incredibly attentive and meticulous, ensuring that every aspect of my examination was thorough. Their service was not only professional but also warm, making me feel comfortable throughout the entire process.What impressed me even more is that this doctor also offers aesthetic treatments. After learning about this, I immediately scheduled an appointment for juvelook, and I was pleasantly surprised by the competitive pricing compared to other clinics. The results have been fantastic, and my skin has been glowing ever since the treatment!I highly recommend Asia Pacific Eye Centre to anyone looking for eye care as well as aesthetic services.

Dr. Tan Yar Li helped me on my right eye problem. Initially I was diagnosed differently in another eye clinic. Luckily I switched to APEC, which correctly diagnosed the true root cause of my right eye problem. After the laser surgery and treatment, my right eye is recovering progressively. Thanks for Dr. Tan and APEC for the exceptional skill and services.

I was seeing a slight outline of my pupil in my vision for 2 weeks. I had a work trip and saw Dr Lee Hung Ming on my return. He was meticulous and he found a retinal tear, which was not obvious, but had to be urgently fixed by laser surgery. Dr Lee and his team are very experienced, highly professional and I am grateful to have him as my ophthalmologist. Thank you!!!

Freedom from spectacles thanks to Asia Pacific Eye Centre!From booking a consultation to the surgery, the entire process was very fuss free and quick. I took about 1.5 months only because I had dry eyes and had to do some extra checks. Dr Tan explained everything very clearly and felt very assuring. Other support staff were all nice and professional and I felt safe in their hands. The clinic does get quite busy on some days, but not overly concerning. Location is relatively convenient with the new train station just outside too.Recommend checking them out if you're considering eye related procedures.

My life was change once I finished my procedure here in Asia Pacific Eye centre. With Dr Lee years of experience and thousands of procedure done, his judgement and new SMILE LASIK technology, I can finally see without having the worry of being without my spectacle. The recovery rate is so much faster than conventional LASIK procedure. All the staff here is friendly and kind

Did ICL here with Dr Lee Hung Ming and he was really personal from the start to the end of the procedure. The whole process was very smooth and assuring (even during the operation itself). He is a very honest doctor too. He asked to see my surgery bill in the follow up consultation, and noticed the partnering hospital overcharged me. He called them to correct it right away and I got my refund! Very thankful for an honest Dr!

It took me literally over a year to bite the bullet and schedule my LASIK surgery. It has been only 5 days since and my eyesight is as good as new again 👀✨. Dr Tan Yar Li is very thorough, friendly and reassuring - I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. BEST DECISION YET, NO REGRETS!

Extremely professional, courteous and friendly staff. Doctor Lee answers all your questions and concerns with a big smile. He is also very good at explaining the options available to us and helping making the best choice. He did my husband’s cataract surgeries 4 years ago and this year it was my turn. The result…life changing .

Was recommended to Doctor Tan Yar Li as the wait for my surgery was too long and unbearable. Even before I get to see her, was deeply impressed by the different rooms housing various machines. It was an eye opener to know that there's so many different test just for the eyes. Definitely a First class eye centre.Was wowed over by Doctor Tan with her detailed explanation and the level of confidence for my comparatively rarer condition of Posterior Polar Cataract. Immediately fixed the next available schedule for the cataract surgery for both eyes.Just completed surgeries for both eyes and thanks to her magical hands and expertise everything went very well.Every follow up at the clinic was also a pleasant experience as the staff were equally professional and helpful befitting the first class eye centre.Never imagined I would get to have crystal clear vision again and I am enjoying every moment of it all thanks to Doctor Tan!If you want clear vision, or any treatment for your eyes, this is the right place for you!
