We are a private eye care practice with a heart for the community, driven by a desire to make a difference through unwavering passion, expertise, and a relentless pursuit to excellence in eye care.
When myopia robbed Dr Allan Fong of his ambition to become a fighter pilot, he decided to become an ophthalmologist to fight eye conditions instead. The Senior Consultant and former Head of Cataract and Comprehensive Ophthalmology Department at Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) not only specialises in cataract surgery and refractive surgery, but also led a Cataract team of 50 senior consultants and 40 consultants and associate consultants.
Outside of work, Dr Allan Fong volunteers with non-profit organisations providing free eye screenings to the needy and to seniors. One such initiative is Project I-Care, a long-running collaboration between SNEC and the North-West Community Development Council (CDC) with other volunteer organisations. Allan also serves as Vice-Chairman of Lions SaveSight Centre which promotes eye care and blindness prevention among the underprivileged and vulnerable members of society.
These programmes are also offered in nursing homes and community centres, where volunteer eye specialists screen patients who have not had eye checks before and make referrals for cataract surgeries and other treatments. Many of them are bed-ridden or are wheelchair-bound who have difficulty travelling. There are also disadvantaged groups who simply do not have the resources to do so.
With his heart for community work, Dr Allan Fong also shares the joy of giving back to society by roping in eye specialists, optometrists, nurses, medical social workers and support staff, inspiring them to serve with him at these eye screening sessions. To raise awareness about eye diseases, he organises free public talks and webinars, some of which have hundreds of attendees at a time.
Dr Allan Fong believes that charity begins locally.
These free eye screenings help to bridge the gap for the elderly and vulnerable. With early detection, we can treat eye conditions before they worsen and save their sight.

As a leader, Dr Allan Fong constantly seeks to enhance care through process improvement and innovation, with an emphasis on collaboration. He embraces cutting-edge technologies and engages industry partners to provide feedback on emerging technologies to ensure that they are relevant and optimise treatment outcomes. He encourages open communication and knowledge exchange amongst ophthalmologists, nurses, allied health and support staff, encouraging inter-disciplinary teamwork to drive holistic medical management and patient care.
To enable young doctors to better contribute to patient care and have a fulfilling career in SNEC, Dr Allan Fong helps them discover their talents and abilities in other areas such as research, education and administration by providing them with resources and overseas learning opportunities.
“Like how my teachers and mentors have encouraged me before, I see mentoring young doctors as a privilege and a way for me to give back and advance the profession,” he said.
