I've been buying those $500+ glasses before switching to owndays... and after switching to owndays I never looked back

Really overpaid for those luxury branded ones which don't even last 1/2 as long as my owndays... and these are not even designed and produced by the luxury labels - they merely allow companies like Luxottica to design, produce, market and sell

Hi everyone!

Since there are many people here looking for cheap prescription glasses in Singapore, let me introduce foptics to you.

foptics is a very new online shop in Singapore which produces great looking prescription glasses at very affordable prices ($29.90 including 1.60 hi-index lens with free normal mail!).

Skeptical? Visit our Carousell site by searching for username "foptics" or the address at the bottom signature and see over 50 positive reviews that our customers left us in a short span of 2 months.

Have a chat with us!

See ya!
THANK YOU.

i have been waiting for this concept whereby spectacles can be changed as easily as clothes for a long time.

spectacle prices are really chop carrot...100+ for a piece of plastic. granted there is industrial design and comfort design to look into, but 100+ is probably a 1000% markup on the cost of manufacture + raw materials.

Yes that is our aim, to give people the freedom to choose glasses which compliment their mood and outfit everyday. If we own several pairs of shoes, pants, shirts, why not glasses?

We are working towards that!

Usually the lens will be much expensive if the Astigma is >200(?)

Went to a few optical shops and they quoted me abt 100-200$ more for the Astigma lens...
Definitely. My Astigma is 525 and I always paid more than $200 just on lenses..

And another 50% 2nd pair (50% of the discounted 2nd pair)

I only paid $100+ for 2 pairs of glasses 1.74 hi index

Anyone ordered spectacles from foptics before?

A frame with 1.60 index lenses for $33 is far too good to be true... what's the catch? :look:

foptics seems legit to me plus its based in Singapore.

Can anyone please recommend any online stores that they have used to deliver to Singapore, other than zennioptical, glasseslit?

Thanks

Ngee Ann Polytechnic Optometry Centre. $5 charge for general public. Tests done by students under supervision by lecturers. I dont think there are any optical shops out there who would do an eye test for you FOC if you never purchase anything from them. Generally i think an eye test would cost between $15-20 at least.
