Retinal Laser Treatment: Protecting Vision Before It’s Lost
Retinal laser therapy treats conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, or vascular leakage. Early treatment can prevent permanent vision loss.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Ophthalmologist fee: SGD 1,200 – 2,500
Multiple sessions may be required depending on severity.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually favourable when:
• Treatment is medically necessary
• Linked to chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes)
• Outpatient specialist benefits apply
Insurance Tip
Ask whether repeat laser sessions are reimbursed individually or capped annually.
Conclusion
Preventive retinal care saves sight. But insurance limits determine access.
