9 Best Spectacle, Glasses & Optical Shops in Singapore For Every Budget (2022): Prescription Glasses From S$22.90!

As someone who’s sadly been bespectacled since the age of six, I’ve grudgingly resigned myself to the fact that I’ll never again have perfect vision unless I pay silly amounts for Lasik.

Thankfully, spectacles are no longer solely for practicality – and these eyewear shops ’round Singapore know it all too well, with affordable yet stylish options to suit every budget.

We’ve also included their Google review ratings to help you make a more holistic decision. For shops with more than one outlet, we will be referencing their Orchard stores as they are the most accessible, which would mean more reviews.

TL;DR: Best Spectacle, Glasses and Optical Shops Near Me in Singapore (2022)

Information and prices are accurate as of 18 March 2022. *Trustpilot reviews as Zenni does not have a physical store in Singapore.

1. Zenni Optical Frame + Lenses and Shipping From S$22.90

4.6⭐  (130,282 Trustpilot reviews)

First up, we have the most affordable glasses from Zenni Optical.

Prices start as low as S$9.42 (US$6.95) for a pair of glasses which include the frame and basic prescription lenses with anti-scratch coating and UV protection.

But, it does not include international standard shipping (12 – 28 days), which will cost you another S$13.50 (US$9.95).

All in all, a pair of glasses will cost you about S$22.90, which is a steal if you have your other prescription ready.

You might be wondering why Zenni glasses are so cheap?

The company explains that Zenni glasses are made at a dedicated factory and shipped directly to the consumer. Also, because Zenni sells its glasses online, they don’t pay for brick-and-mortar retail space.

The only drawbacks are the long waiting time and the fact that they do not have a store in Singapore.

2. foptics Singapore: Frame + Lenses From S$35.90

4.8⭐  (560 Google reviews)

At foptics, frames are split into five collections and range anywhere from S$35.90 (S$29.90 frame + S$6 basic 1.56 Standard Index lenses) for the more basic frames and lenses:

If you want something more premium, the fancier hybrid glasses that have clip-on sunglasses attachments start from S$75.90 (S$69.90 frame + S$6 basic 1.56 Standard Index lenses):

What we particularly like is foptics’ pricing transparency.

There’re countless types of lenses to choose from, ranging from the basic 1.56 Standard Index lenses that cost S$6 more in addition to the frame. Whereas the most expensive lenses you can get are the fancy 1.67 Hi-Index (Thinner) lenses that cost S$170 more.

6. Oblique Eyewear Frame + Lenses From S$95

4.9⭐  (72 Google reviews)

The self-dubbed “fashion-forward eyewear visionaries” – quite a name to live up to, I reckon – aim to change the idea that all you need is one pair of glasses.

That’s because Oblique Eyewear believes in the importance of being able to switch up your look with spectacle frames, no matter the occasion.

But, all things come with a cost. A pair of glasses from Oblique starts from S$95 (S$45 frame + S$50 plastic multicoated lenses).

Rather than simply peruse the online store, head to its physical shop for a wider selection of frames and promos.

7. Visual Mass Frame + Lenses From S$95

3.8⭐  (15 Google reviews)

Despite its slightly steeper price point – prescription glasses start from S$95 (inclusive of frame + free Hi-Index 1.60 lens) – Visual Mass sure doesn’t scrimp on style.

Its (admittedly smaller) collection includes all manner of tortoiseshell frames, plus solid-coloured basics for all face shapes.

Be sure to also look out for occasional discounts in its online store, including 1-for-1 promos.

You’ll be glad to know you can buy the glasses online and pick them up at the Visual Mass Showroom in Orchard Gateway five+ days later if you know your prescription.

Otherwise, you can always book an eye exam along with your order.

Japan import Zoff launched in Singapore back in 2017 and are going strong.

A standard pair of glasses from Zoff will set you back S$98 (Frame + 1.55 Standard Index Lenses).
