The clinic is generally closed on Sundays and public holidays, though it may offer consultations from 10:00–13:00 on certain holidays. The clinic places particular emphasis on cataract surgery: non-urgent procedures are typically scheduled within approximately one month, while emergency surgeries for conditions such as retinal detachment and acute glaucoma can be performed on the same day or within a few days depending on the situation. As a designated advanced medical service, the clinic also offers cataract surgery using multifocal intraocular lenses, including Alcon's trifocal PanOptix and AMO's Synergy, providing patients with cutting-edge treatment options. Although appointments are required, walk-in patients can still be seen even when appointment slots are fully booked. A wireless paging system is in place, allowing patients to wait in their cars during busy periods to reduce congestion. Ample parking is available, including a second lot, and the facility is fully accessible. English-speaking service is available, and credit card and electronic payment methods are accepted, making this an ophthalmology clinic that caters to a wide range of patients.
