First Eyewear Centre

First Eyewear Centre’s owner and director, Ms Careen Low, had worked
with her father Mr Alan Low at his first optical practice which was
established in 1975 in Katong Shopping Centre. In 1992, Careen founded
her own optical practice First Eyewear Centre in Siglap Shopping Centre.
In 2015, First Eyewear Centre relocated to a 2700-square-foot practice
and became a concept store at 713 East Coast Road.


First Eyewear Centre is patient-centred. It is fully equipped with
the latest eye diagnostic tools to detect common eye diseases like
