What jerry tan eye surgery does

Jerry Tan Eye Surgery Pte Ltd is a single-location, founder-owned ophthalmology clinic in Singapore established in 1996 by Dr Jerry Tan, who performed the first LASIK procedure in Singapore that same year and has since completed more than 13,000 LASIK surgeries. The practice operates from Shaw Centre on Orchard Road and serves individual consumer patients across a horizontal range of ophthalmic use cases including refractive surgery (Advanced Customised LASIK Xtra / PerfectShape LASIK Xtra, TransPRK Xtra, ICL implantation), lens surgery (cataract), corneal disease (collagen crosslinking, corneal transplant), glaucoma, squint, eyelid surgery, lazy eye treatment via RevitalVision, and Valeda Light Delivery System photobiomodulation for dry age-related macular degeneration. Adjacent services include contact lens fitting (soft, RGP, piggyback, hybrid, prosthetic) and spectacle fitting.

The clinic's underlying technology stack is device-led rather than software-led. Core platforms include the IntraLase iFS 5th generation 150kHz femtosecond laser for blade-free LASIK flap creation, the Schwind Amaris 1050RS excimer laser with 7-dimensional eye tracking, the SCHWIND Sirius corneal topographer, and the ArcScan Insight 100 high-frequency ultrasound — the only such device held by a Singapore clinic for sulcus-to-sulcus ICL sizing. Revenue is generated per procedure and per consultation on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go model; no procedure pricing is publicly disclosed and pricing is set individually following comprehensive eye examination (2-3 hours per patient). Dr Gerard Nah serves as Senior Consultant alongside the founder. The clinic operates with approximately 8 employees, no external funding, and an ongoing collaborative arrangement with Aberdeen Eye Surgery where Dr Jerry Tan continues to perform refractive procedures.

Products and services

• General Eye Examination A comprehensive eye examination administered by Dr Jerry Tan and his team, including refraction, dilated fundus examination, and slit lamp examination to detect common eye diseases such as binocular vision problems, cataract, glaucoma, and retinal tears. Appointments take at least 2 hours for adults and 3 hours for children aged 12 and below.
• Advanced Customised LASIK Xtra (PerfectShape® LASIK Xtra™) A fully customised corneal wavefront-guided LASIK combined with corneal collagen crosslinking, offering high definition vision with reduced night glare and halos. Uses the SCHWIND Sirius corneal topographer to measure individual corneal shape and create a customised power map. Indicated for patients seeking vision correction beyond 6/6 (20/20) with enhanced stability.
• TransPRK Xtra Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy - a one-step, no touch, no blade, all-laser technique used to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Can be guided by corneal topography and corneal wavefront with optional flash crosslinking. Suitable for patients seeking a flap-free laser vision correction option.
• ICL (Implantable Collamer® Lens) An implantable lens inserted behind the iris and in front of the natural lens to treat moderate to severe refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism). Developed by STAAR® Surgical Company with over 1 million eyes implanted since 1992. Indicated for patients unsuitable for LASIK due to high prescription or thin corneas. Sizing uses the ArcScan Insight 100 high-frequency ultrasound (STS measurement).
• Cataract Surgery Surgical procedure to remove the clouded natural lens of the eye and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens to restore clear vision. Indicated for patients with blurry vision, faded colours, glare sensitivity, and poor night vision due to cataracts.
• Valeda Light Delivery System (LDS) for Dry AMD Treatment FDA-authorised, CE and UKCA approved treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using photobiomodulation with three specific wavelengths of light (590 nm, 660 nm, and 850 nm) to stimulate retinal pigment epithelium cells. Indicated for patients with dry AMD where incidence is increasing in Singapore due to the aging population.
• Medical Eye Laser Therapy Laser-based therapeutic procedures for various eye conditions using advanced laser technology. Indicated for patients requiring non-surgical or adjunctive laser-based ophthalmic treatment.
• Glaucoma Surgery Surgical procedures to treat glaucoma, a condition that damages the optic nerve often associated with high intraocular pressure. Indicated for patients with glaucoma not adequately controlled by medication or laser treatment.
• Squint Surgery Surgical procedure to correct misalignment of the eyes (strabismus/squint). Indicated for patients with eye misalignment requiring functional or cosmetic correction.
• Eyelid Surgery Surgical procedures for various eyelid conditions and cosmetic concerns. Indicated for patients with functional eyelid problems or cosmetic eyelid concerns.
• Lazy Eye (Amblyopia) Treatment - RevitalVision™ Non-surgical treatment program using RevitalVision™ technology to improve vision in patients with amblyopia (lazy eye). Indicated for patients (often children and adults) with lazy eye who have not responded to conventional patching therapy.
• Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL) Treatment to strengthen weakened corneas by applying Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) eyedrops and exposing the cornea to ultraviolet light to bond adjacent corneal collagen fibres. Indicated for keratoconus and post-LASIK ectasia, with stable corneal results over 10-20 years.
• Corneal Transplant Surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with healthy donor corneal tissue. Indicated for patients with advanced corneal disease where other treatments are insufficient.
• Contact Lens Fitting Professional fitting services for various contact lens types including soft, RGP (rigid gas permeable), piggyback, hybrid, and prosthetic lenses for patients of all ages. Provides personalised assessment and fitting for corrective and specialty contact lens needs.
• Spectacle Fitting Professional spectacle fitting services for prescription glasses. Provides accurate dispensing and fitting of prescription spectacles following eye examination.
• NeuroLASIK Combination of PerfectShape® (Advanced Customised) LASIK and RevitalVision™ therapy that enhances the brain's ability to see better, giving patients a higher chance of achieving best vision after LASIK. Indicated for patients seeking maximum post-LASIK visual performance.
• Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses Durable plastic contact lenses that allow oxygen passage, offering better quality vision and less dry eye than soft lenses, beneficial for astigmatism and keratoconus patients.
• Soft Contact Lenses Contact lenses available in daily, bi-weekly, monthly, and conventional wear modalities, including spherical, astigmatism, multifocal, and cosmetic (coloured) types.
• Piggyback Lenses Dual-lens system combining RGP and soft contact lenses where a soft silicone hydrogel lens is worn as a cushion with an RGP lens fitted on top for patients with highly irregular corneas.
• Hybrid Lenses Contact lenses combining a rigid center with a soft outer skirt, offering the clarity of RGP lenses with the comfort of soft lenses.
• Prosthetic Lenses Custom soft contact lenses prescribed for patients with scarred or disfigured corneas, designed to match the appearance of the unaffected eye and reduce light sensitivity.

Direct peers

• Asia Pacific Eye Centre: Private ophthalmology practice in Singapore providing LASIK, ICL, cataract, and general eye care. Direct competitor serving the same Singapore patient base for refractive and cataract procedures.
• Aberdeen Eye Surgery: Singapore ophthalmology practice that was formerly Jerry Tan Eye Surgery and where Dr Jerry Tan continues to perform LASIK and refractive surgery. Closely tied to JTES through the founder and overlapping service offerings in refractive and cataract surgery.
• Eagle Eye Centre: Singapore-based private ophthalmology group offering LASIK, cataract, retina, and comprehensive eye care across multiple clinics. Directly comparable in service mix (refractive surgery, cataract, AMD) and Singapore market, but operates with a multi-surgeon model and larger footprint.
• LSC Eye Clinic (Laser Surgery Centre): Singapore refractive surgery clinic focused on LASIK, TransPRK, ICL, and cataract surgery. Closely comparable service offering, technology positioning, and Singapore-only footprint, with similar premium pricing strategy.
• International Eye Cataract Retina Centre: Singapore private eye centre offering cataract, retina, and general ophthalmology with a sub-specialist model. Comparable in scope of advanced procedures (cataract, retina, AMD) and Singapore private-clinic positioning.
• W Eye Clinic: Singapore private ophthalmology practice offering LASIK, cataract, and general eye care. Comparable specialist clinic model serving Singapore patients for refractive and lens-based procedures.
• Dr Natasha Lim Eye Centre: Singapore private eye surgery practice providing LASIK, ICL, cataract, and presbyopia treatments. Direct competitor in the premium refractive surgery segment with similar single-specialist positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC): Singapore's flagship public-sector eye hospital offering the full spectrum of ophthalmology including refractive, cataract, retina, and AMD. A larger, established player with teaching-hospital credentials, broader service breadth, and higher patient volumes that competes for the same premium Singapore patients.
• Mount Elizabeth Eye Centre / Parkway Hospitals: Large private hospital group in Singapore whose eye specialists offer LASIK, cataract, and comprehensive ophthalmology. Competes via hospital affiliation, insurance partnerships, and bundled care rather than single-specialist focus.

Regional players

• VISTA Eye Specialist (Malaysia): Private ophthalmology group in Malaysia offering LASIK, cataract, and comprehensive eye care. Comparable refractive surgery service mix and specialist-clinic model, but operates across Malaysia rather than Singapore, providing a regional benchmark for expansion.
