Best spectacle shops in Singapore
1. Owndays
For stellar customer service, this one takes the cake. Starting from $98, these folks will replace any of your lenses no matter where you’ve gotten them from! The products use high index aspheric lenses and each spectacle is assembled by hand. We love the wide selection, affordable prices and stylish designs. With your purchase, you also contribute to the Owndays eye camp that conducts check-ups and manufactures prescription glasses for people in developing countries. Want to look good and make a difference? You know what to do.
Owndays, multiple locations include Bugis Junction, [email protected] and Suntec City
2. Zoff
Designed to suit different moods, Zoff is a quality Japanese brand with a range of fashionable collections you’ll covet. With new releases and updates twice every month, you’ll find the latest trends for your liking. Check out unique ones like the 2022 Spring classic, blue light glasses, the Disney range and Zoff sports.
Zoff, multiple locations including Jem, Funan and Ion Orchard
3. Lenskart
Who hasn’t heard of this global brand, famous for its strong online and offline presence? Have robotically engineered glasses ready to suit all your eyewear specifications in Italian designs by German tech. This shop in Singapore is a household name and a go-to destination for easily accessible spectacles. Check out the latest collab with Nasty Cookie that’s oh-so-yum.
Lenskart, available in multiple locations including Wisma Atria, Novena Square and CityLink Mall
4. Monocle
Want to support local and flaunt designer quality eyewear? We’ve got just the thing for you. Started by two friends in 2019 who wanted to cater to the young adults in Singapore with vision problems, this spectacles shop aims to bring these essentials to you at a pocket-friendly price. We love how its designs make us look expensive without emptying our wallets.
Monocle, Level 2, 7A Haji Lane, Singapore 189200
5. Bolon
This luxe eyewear brand counts Anne Hathaway, Hailey Baldwin and Davika Hoorne as its ambassadors, and that pretty much says it all. From aviators to browline styles, don one of Bolon’s frames to take your look to a whole new level of class and nerdy sophistication.
Bolon, #03-11, Wisma Atria, 435 Orchard Road, Singapore 238877
6. Molsion
Worn by the likes of Angelababy and Park Shin Hye, Molsion is coming in hot. Style a throwback look with metal-rimmed frames that make a vinyl record store feel like an everyday hangout spot.
Molsion, #02-31, Plaza Singapura, 68 Orchard Road, Singapore 238839
7. O+
O+ stocks frames that are positively dripping in retro geek chic. This store doesn’t manufacture lenses, so you’ll have to fit them with lenses from your trusted optician. Sure, it takes an extra step, but if there’s a pair of frames you can’t find anywhere else, we definitely recommend browsing through this brand’s extensive collection!
O+, available in multiple locations including Orchard and OUE Downtown Gallery
8. Spectacle Hut
Spectacle Hut always has us spoilt for choice. This boutique carries frames from the likes of Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Tiffany & Co. and more. Opt for a half-rimmed update to metal frames if you’re a fan of minimalist chic. Or go a little wild with a Tiffany blue spin on the classic tortoiseshell (by Tiffany & Co., of course) – who knew that could be such a fetching colour combo?
Spectacle Hut, multiple locations including Jurong Point and VivoCity
9. Retrosuperfuture
This Italian brand is best known for its painfully trendy acetate sunglasses, but the compact optical collection ticks all the boxes for fashion-forward eyewear too. Metal framed aviators, round tortoiseshell frames, black angular wayfarers… all the essential designs favoured by your favourite fashionistas.
Retrosuperfuture, available online
