Functional screening helps to identify age-related decline in vision, hearing and oral health. Early identification and intervention help seniors to age well in place and enhance their quality of life.
In collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Temasek Foundation and our corporate partners are making available nationwide basic functional screening for hearing, eyesight and oral health at subsidised rates for all citizens above 60 years old. The screening programme is free for Pioneer Generation citizens, S$2 for CHAS card holders, and S$5 for others1.
Project Silver Screen screening sessions are conducted at convenient and accessible community venues. Depending on the results, seniors may be referred for further tests, such as for cataracts or glaucoma.
1 When the Project Silver Screen programme rolled out in FY2018, it included vouchers funded by Temasek Foundation to help participants further offset the cost of functional aids like spectacles, hearing aids and dentures post-Government subsidy. These ceased to be issued from 1 Oct 2024. Please contact Agency for Integrated Care at 1800-650-6060 if you require assistance..
