A snapped nose pad on a favourite pair of frames, or picking out lenses that actually suit your face, is optician work: fitting and selling the glasses themselves, once your prescription is already in hand. Opticians in Singapore on this page have collected over 6,300 reviews between them, and the top two alone (Eye Zone Optical and Visio Optical) hold nearly 4,200 of those, so review depth here really does separate the shops from each other.
Short answer: Eye Zone Optical tops the list with a 4.8 rating across 2,361 reviews, the largest optical retailer on this page. Visio Optical (4.9, 1,832 reviews) stands out specifically for repairing frames other shops won't touch, and foptics Chinatown (4.8, 1,368 reviews) is known for same-day collection and affordable prescription eyewear.

How we rank
Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually left a review, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from 2,361 reviews and a 4.7 from 495 aren’t treated as equal. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No optician can pay to change these numbers.
How much do glasses cost at an optician in Singapore? (2026)
Frame and lens pricing varies widely depending on brand, lens technology and whether you’re buying standard or customized options, and most of these opticians publish some of their own rates.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|
| Daily disposable contact lenses (30-pack) | $20 |
| Toric contact lenses for astigmatism (6-pack) | $69 - $110 |
| Standard prescription frames | from around $49 |
Prices compiled August 2026 from G Optical’s and foptics’ published product pages. Custom or designer frames and complex progressive lenses cost significantly more and are typically quoted after fitting.
Serving all of Singapore
These opticians cluster around Toa Payoh, Ang Mo Kio, Chinatown and Holland Village, all a short MRT ride from most of the island, so a search for “optician near me” will usually surface one of these shops or a nearby branch.
What to ask before buying glasses
- How long will fitting and collection take for my frame and lens choice?
- Do you offer free adjustments if the fit feels off after collection?
- Can you repair this specific type of frame if it breaks later?
- What’s the price difference between standard and premium lens coatings?
- Do you carry my prescription’s contact lens brand in stock, or is it a special order?
- Is an eye test included, or do I need my own prescription first?
Frequently asked questions
Are these rankings paid?
No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.
How did you choose these opticians?
We pulled real Google ratings, review counts and review text for opticians operating in Singapore, then ranked them by a mix of rating, review volume and how recently people are still reviewing.
How often is this updated?
This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026. Ratings and review counts shift over time, so we periodically refresh it.
What’s the difference between an optician and an optometrist?
An optician fits and sells glasses and contact lenses based on a prescription you already have. An optometrist performs the eye exam and writes that prescription. Several shops on this page do both.
Can an optician fix a broken frame without a new prescription?
Yes. Most opticians, including several on this page, offer standalone repair and adjustment services even if you’re not buying new lenses.
The bottom line
Eye Zone Optical’s size and consistency make it the safe default for most glasses needs. If you’re nursing a broken or sentimental pair of frames, take them to Visio Optical first. Bring your current prescription and, if possible, your old glasses to whichever shop you choose, since several rely on remeasuring them to get the fit right.
