A new pair of glasses can cost $98 all-in or run past $500 for a designer frame with progressive lenses — and in 2026 the shop you pick makes a bigger difference than the frame does. Some throw in every lens for free; some are all about the designer names; a couple specialise in slowing a child's myopia. Here are 7 of Singapore's best optical shops and eyewear stores, and who each is really for.

Cheapest, all-in (lenses included)

  1. OWNDAYS — glasses from $98 with high-index lenses included, ready in ~20 min, 30+ stores; 50% off 2nd pair same day
  2. Zoff — Japanese frames from $98 all-in, ready in ~30 min, free eye test + 1-year warranty
  3. Lenskart2 glasses for $100 nett with free lenses + free eye test; Buy 1 Get 1 with Lenskart Gold

Designer & luxury frames

  1. Spectacle Hut — Ray-Ban, Prada, Chanel, Gucci + Ray-Ban Meta; 50% off your 2nd pair, 30+ outlets
  2. Capitol Optical — heritage since 1968, 40+ designer brands, plus its own myopia-management centre & Ortho-K, 17 stores

Contact lenses, Ortho-K & kids' myopia

  1. W Optics — the contact-lens & Ortho-K specialist; eye tests + myopia control, 12 outlets open till 8.30pm
  2. Better Vision — best for kids' myopia with Essilor Stellest 2-year packages + contact-lens subscription, 6 outlets

How to choose

  • Cheapest single pair, lenses included: OWNDAYS or Zoff — $98 all-in, same-day.
  • Two pairs on a budget: Lenskart — 2 for $100 nett with a free eye test.
  • A designer or luxury name: Spectacle Hut or Capitol Optical.
  • Contact lenses or Ortho-K night lenses: W Optics.
  • Your child's short-sightedness: Better Vision (Essilor Stellest), or Ortho-K at Capitol / W Optics.

Two things to check before you pay

  1. What's included. At OWNDAYS and Zoff the frame price includes standard lenses; at traditional opticians the lenses are usually priced separately and can cost as much as the frame. Always confirm the final total (frame + any lens upgrades like progressives, thinner high-index or coatings).
  2. How long it takes. Simple single-vision pairs are often same-day at the all-in chains; progressives, very high-index lenses or special coatings can take a day to a week.

> Heads up: homegrown chain Nanyang Optical is winding up in 2026 after 65 years, with only a couple of franchised outlets expected to remain — so check before making a special trip there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which optical shop in Singapore has the cheapest glasses in 2026?

For a single pair with lenses included, OWNDAYS and Zoff both start at $98 — and crucially that price already includes standard high-index lenses for your prescription, with no lens top-up, and the pair is usually ready the same day (about 20 minutes at OWNDAYS, 30 at Zoff). If you need two pairs, Lenskart is typically the cheapest verified option at 2 glasses for $100 nett with free single-vision or progressive lenses and a free eye test, and it does Buy 1 Get 1 free with its Lenskart Gold membership. The catch to watch anywhere is lens upgrades: thinner high-index lenses for very strong prescriptions, progressives, blue-light or anti-glare coatings can add to the base frame price, so always confirm the final total in-store before paying. Budget house-brand frames (OWNDAYS, Zoff, Lenskart's Vincent Chase and Lenskart Air) keep costs down versus designer names.

Are lenses included in the price at OWNDAYS and Zoff, or do I pay extra?

At both OWNDAYS and Zoff, standard lenses are included in the frame price. OWNDAYS calls it a 'simple price' — the number on the frame is what you pay, because standard high-index aspheric lenses of any power come at no extra charge, so a $98 frame is $98 with your prescription. Zoff works the same way, with all-in tiers starting at $98 (then $158 and $218). You would only pay more for specific upgrades — for example certain premium coatings, specialised lenses, or very high-index lenses for extreme prescriptions — and for options like progressives. This is different from many traditional opticians, where the frame and lenses are priced separately and the lenses can cost as much as, or more than, the frame. If you have a straightforward prescription, the included-lens shops usually work out cheaper and faster; if your prescription is complex, ask exactly which lens is included and what an upgrade would cost.

Where should I take my child for myopia (short-sightedness) control?

Two names stand out for kids' myopia. Better Vision is built around a two-year myopia-management package using Essilor Stellest lenses, which are designed to slow myopia progression while looking like ordinary glasses; the package includes a second pair within 24 months and a free one-time lens replacement if your child's power rises by more than 0.75 within nine months. Capitol Optical and W Optics both offer Ortho-K — rigid contact lenses worn overnight that gently reshape the cornea to slow progression and let kids go glasses-free by day — through their myopia-management services. Which route suits your child depends on their age, prescription and lifestyle: myopia-control spectacle lenses like Stellest are non-invasive and easy for younger children, while Ortho-K needs a good fitting and hygiene routine. Whatever you choose, myopia control is best started early and reviewed regularly, and for any eye-health concern you should also see an optometrist or eye doctor. Confirm current package prices in-store, as they vary by lens and follow-up schedule.

Do these optical shops give free eye tests, and how long does a pair of glasses take?

Most do include a free eye test with a purchase. Lenskart offers a free eye test at any of its stores (and a Home Try-On service), Zoff includes a free eye test and free adjustments with every purchase, and OWNDAYS, Spectacle Hut, Capitol Optical, W Optics and Better Vision all provide in-store optometry as part of buying glasses. On timing, the fast all-in chains are the quickest: OWNDAYS makes most pairs in about 20 minutes and Zoff in about 30, so you can often walk out the same visit with a straightforward single-vision prescription. Progressives, very high-index lenses, specific coatings or out-of-stock frames can take longer — anywhere from a day to about a week — because those lenses may be ordered or surfaced specially. If you need the glasses fast, say so upfront and ask whether your exact lens is available for same-day fitting, and book an appointment where the shop is appointment-based (like W Optics) to avoid a wait.
