In this “affordable” listicle, I’ll cover 7 spectacle shops in Singapore where you can score trendy, affordable glasses. The eyewear industry in Singapore has changed a lot throughout the years, with people gradually turning away from mom-and-pop heartland stores to retail “fast fashion” chains such as Owndays, Zoff and Lenskart.
Today, spectacles are viewed more as a fashion accessory, no longer simply a functional item. Plenty of homegrown brands have also entered the fray, seeking to offer trendier, more affordable alternatives to mass-market brands. If you’re looking for stylish spectacles that won’t break the bank, check out these spectacle shops in Singapore below.
1) sightonomy
If you’re in the market for affordable yet trendy glasses – as well as premium lenses – then sightonomy is a great option.
My opinion: For those looking for stylish eyewear without paying luxury boutique prices, sightonomy strikes an excellent balance between affordability, aesthetics and professional eye care. The boutique offers a carefully curated selection of modern, wearable frames that feel fashion-forward without being overly expensive, making it especially appealing for young working adults and style-conscious shoppers.
Beyond frames, the store places a strong emphasis on premium lens quality. The brand also strongly advocates for long-term eye health through comprehensive eye examinations, eye health screening services, and tailored myopia control solutions, including speciality spectacle lenses and orthokeratology (Ortho-K), to slow the progression of childhood myopia and support healthier long-term vision development.
Reviews: I first reviewed sightonomy here, its transition lenses and sunglasses here, its Tokai lenses and Vasac eyewear here, and most recently its Shamir transition lenses here.
Price: Frame + lenses start at $125.
Where to buy: 60B Smith St, Singapore 058963
2) Oblique Eyewear
For those who love tinted lenses, Oblique Eyewear offers stylish, affordable tinted eyewear.
My opinion: If you’re looking for something beyond ordinary clear prescription glasses, Oblique Eyewear stands out for its highly popular custom tint programme. Customers can personalise their lenses with a wide variety of tints — from subtle everyday hues to bold fashion-forward colours — creating glasses that feel far more distinctive and expressive than standard optical frames.
Combined with the boutique’s curated selection of stylish Korean and Japanese-inspired frames, Oblique has become especially popular among fashion-conscious shoppers looking to turn their eyewear into a statement piece rather than just a necessity. The overall experience feels more akin to shopping at a fashion boutique than a traditional optical store, making Oblique one of the more unique eyewear destinations in Singapore.
Price: Frame + lenses start at $90.
Where to buy: 181 Orchard Rd, #04-03 Central Orchard, Singapore 238896
3) KPLUS Eyewear
For those drawn to sleek Korean-style eyewear, KPLUS Eyewear has carved out a distinctive niche in Singapore’s optical scene with its curated selection of fashionable Korean frames and premium lens offerings.
My opinion: While the styling feels premium and fashion-forward, KPLUS still maintains relatively accessible pricing compared to luxury designer eyewear boutiques, making it appealing for shoppers who want elevated aesthetics without paying luxury-brand markups. The store also carries a wide range of Korean eyewear labels, including trendy collaborations and independent brands that are harder to find elsewhere in Singapore.
The overall retail experience also feels more like a Korean fashion showroom than a conventional optical store — something that has helped KPLUS build a strong following among younger, style-conscious consumers looking for eyewear that doubles as a fashion accessory.
Price: Frame + lenses start at $139.90.
Where to buy: 176 Orchard Road, #01-33/33A, The Centrepoint, Singapore 238843
4) foptics
Few eyewear brands in Singapore have disrupted the market quite like foptics.
My opinion: Originally launched as an online-first startup focused on making spectacles genuinely affordable, the brand has since grown into one of the country’s most recognisable budget-friendly optical names — while still keeping prices remarkably accessible. Complete prescription glasses can start from as low as around $39.90, making foptics one of the cheapest legitimate optical options in Singapore today.
What makes foptics especially appealing is its balance between affordability and style. Rather than focusing purely on basic functional frames, the brand offers a surprisingly wide range of modern, wearable designs — from minimalist office-ready styles to trendier casual frames — allowing customers to own multiple pairs without overspending.
Price: Frame + lenses start at $39.90.
Where to buy: Multiple locations islandwide.
5) O+ Eyewear
Unlike many fast-fashion optical chains, the brand positions itself as a more premium, design-led eyewear label — offering in-house designed frames that emphasise quality materials, refined detailing and long-term wearability.
My opinion: The aesthetic leans toward classic, understated luxury, with plenty of elegant acetate frames, lightweight titanium options and sophisticated everyday silhouettes that feel stylish without being overly trendy. Their boutiques also place strong emphasis on personalised fitting and styling consultations, creating a more curated, boutique-style shopping experience compared to mainstream optical chains.
What also sets O+ apart is its identity as a homegrown Singaporean eyewear brand with over 30 years of industry heritage. Rather than simply retailing third-party frames, the company designs many of its collections in-house, giving the brand a more distinctive identity within Singapore’s increasingly crowded eyewear market.
Price: Frame + lenses start at $249.
Where to buy: Multiple locations islandwide.
6) Noon Eyewear
Founded by three siblings from a family of traditional opticians, Noon Eyewear has quickly built a loyal following in Singapore by combining stylish, lifestyle-focused eyewear with a strong emphasis on professional eye care.
My opinion: Aesthetically, Noon leans towards clean, modern Korean and Japanese-inspired designs, with plenty of lightweight acetate and stainless steel frames that feel contemporary yet highly wearable. Their in-house collections range from minimalist everyday styles to bolder statement pieces, allowing customers to find something stylish without venturing into luxury-brand pricing territory.
What also sets Noon apart is its strong focus on proper eye health and optometry services. Beyond simply selling glasses, the boutique offers comprehensive eye examinations, eye pressure testing, cataract screening and frame consultations — reinforcing the brand’s identity as both a fashion-forward eyewear store and a serious eye-care practice.
Price: Frame + lenses start at $98.
Where to buy: 264 Serangoon Central, #01-223, Singapore 550264
7) Rocket Eyewear
Rocket Eyewear has carved out a unique niche in Singapore’s eyewear scene by focusing obsessively on doing one classic silhouette exceptionally well.
My opinion: Founded by a Singaporean sibling duo in 2016, the brand became known for reimagining the timeless P3 frame shape — a vintage round style famously worn by Hollywood icons and military officers — with modern fits designed specifically for Asian faces and nose bridges.
What truly sets Rocket apart is its emphasis on fit customisation and understated style. Rather than releasing countless trend-driven designs, the brand offers its signature frames in a wide range of sizes, colours and fit options, including specialised “Raised Fit” frames designed for customers with lower nose bridges or higher cheekbones. This attention to ergonomic comfort has helped Rocket develop a loyal following among Singaporeans who struggle with conventional Western-fit eyewear.
Price: Frame + lenses start at $169.
Where to buy: 7 Ann Siang Hill #02-01, Singapore 069791 (with several pop-up locations).
