Going on holiday with a bunch of Singaporeans but forgot your contact lens solution? Someone else will most certainly have some with them. Why?

How Much Does It Cost To Do LASIK In Singapore?
Get more clarity on fixing your myopia
December 31, 2020
Labelled as the “Myopia Capital of the World” and highlighted by ex-Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Health Dr Lam Pin Min, almost 83% of young adults in Singapore are currently myopic, and those numbers are expected to climb. It is projected that by 2050,
80% to 90% of all Singaporean adults will be myopic and 15% to 25% of these individuals will have high myopia.
With the rise in affluence and number of myopic individuals in Singapore, there is a growing interest in going for LASIK surgery to reduce the dependency on glasses or contact lenses. The good news is that the cost of LASIK in Singapore has been reduced over the years, likely due to the improvement in eye surgery technology and greater accessibility to ophthalmological resources in Singapore.
