I spent two years squinting at bus numbers from the kerb before admitting my old glasses were useless. Staring at a laptop for 10 hours a day will do that to your eyes, and ignoring the blur only bought me a daily headache.

A proper check takes more than a five-minute chart test at the mall, especially if you’re managing a child’s nearsightedness or your own tired eyes.

Our team compared local providers, checked their screening equipment, and verified their clinical credentials to see who actually takes the time to get a prescription right. Here’s where to find the best optometrists in Singapore!

1. Visio Optical

Website: https://visiooptical.com/

Address: 43 Holland Drive, #01-67

Contact: (+65) 6776 0052 | Fax: (+65) 6776 0522

Hours: Monday to Saturday: 9:30 AM to 8:00 PM, Sunday and Public Holidays: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Breaking a favourite pair of frames usually means shelling out for a brand new set, yet Visio Optical in Holland Village is the only shop in Singapore and Southeast Asia that specialises in spectacle repair and repainting.

Since 2007, they cut and edged new lenses into frames clients already own, which saves you plenty of cash if your prescription changes after visiting our optical shop.

On the clinical side, they test for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and age-related reading blur.

When I dropped by with an American acetate frame that kept sliding down my cheeks, their staff explained how their Asian-fit adjustments reshape the bridge. They also make bespoke eyewear in custom shapes and run an express service for urgent lens jobs.

The catch is that frame repairs take 5 to 6 days or longer, so you’ll need a spare pair while you wait.

Professional service from the staff

Professional service from the staff. Ms Lay Ting, the Optometrist was very patient towards my mother and I during the eye test. She was always very warm and polite and knew her product well thus she was able to give good advice and recommendations. On one occasion, she went the extra mile by visiting my mother just to check on her, as she was not used to her new glasses, after her work!

Thank you for the well service 🙂

My spectacle frame was broken and saw Visio Optic on google that have repair services. Went down to allow the optometrist there to help me in repairing my spectacles frame. Whole process was smooth and fast, got my spectacles within 3 days and repair was done well, and now I can use my spectacles again. Thank you for the well service 🙂

2. The Eyes Inc

Website: https://www.theeyesinc.sg/ 

Address: 704 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8, #01-2549

Contact: +65 8887 0983

Hours: Monday to Saturday: 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM

The Eyes Inc has Chief Optometrist Alex Neo, who brings over 19 years of experience in helping customers find suitable eyewear. His expertise is particularly valuable for multifocal lens fittings, where proper adjustments can help reduce discomfort.

Since opening the shop in 2022, he has also focused on tracking down the root cause of eye strain, double vision, and progressive lens discomfort rather than rushing you through a basic power check.

That deeper troubleshooting matters for office workers who bounce between spreadsheets and meetings all day.

Moreover, this shop tailors progressive lenses across near, intermediate, and far zones.

Plus, they handle complex issues like unequal eye powers, colour deficiency, and dyslexia, where your eyes struggle to focus together.

Unfortunately, the shop doesn’t open in the mornings and stays shut on Sundays and public holidays. 

He really listened and worked hard to solve the problems I was facing

Great experience with Alex at The Eyes Inc! He was very patient throughout the entire eye check-up and took the time to understand the issues I was having with my existing progressive glasses. He really listened and worked hard to solve the problems I was facing.

He is knowledgable, skillful, attentive, and friendly

Make an appointment with The Eyes Inc if you especially want a pair of progressive lenses.  Mr Alex Neo who attended to me on 1 Oct 2025 is top-notch – a professional.  He is knowledgable, skillful, attentive, and friendly.  While doing refraction testing on my eyes for a prescription for a pair of progressive lenses, he advised me to have my right eye examined by an eye doctor (there was indeed an issue after an eye scan in an eye centre).  After patiently listening to my needs and special concerns, Alex then specified a specific type of progressive lens for me

3. House of Spectacles

Website: https://www.houseofspectacle.com/ 

Address: The Golden Landmark, 390 Victoria Street, #01-39

Contact: +65 8825 1701

Hours: Monday to Sunday: 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM

House of Spectacles benefits from the expertise of Senior Optometrist Shaikh Ahmad Zahid, who has over 15 years of experience. His previous work alongside senior eye surgeons brings valuable knowledge to routine eye examinations and assessments.

He started his career in a private eye clinic at Paragon Medical. This is reassuring for older adults who want a careful clinical eye before they ever need a clinic for cataract surgery.

Inside the shop, the team uses an autorefractometre to take a quick, objective baseline of your prescription before fine-tuning the numbers by hand.

They also run corporate eye screenings that check near and distance vision to catch hidden astigmatism or focus issues across company teams.

Because they handle those corporate eye screenings, company bookings can eat into the time slots available for regular walk-in clients, though. Call ahead to lock in your time.

Highly Recommended

Optometrist, Qistina was very friendly & patience. She explained to us clearly & tested our visions before we made our purchases.

The Special Offer for 2 Specs were value for money which made our trip all the way from Seng Kang worthy. Highly Recommended.

They do live up to their slogan of being Your Friendly Optometrist

They do live up to their slogan of being Your Friendly Optometrist. The staff are patient during eye test, they don’t rush you through it. They listen to your your eyecare requirements and provide you with recommendations that are tailored to your needs. Very happy with my pair of specs and continuing with my contact lens purchases with them. Alhamdulillah, am very happy and would recommend this shop to all

4. sightonomy

Website: https://sightonomy.sg/

Address: 60B Smith Street

Contact: +65 8028 9690

Hours: Monday to Friday: 12:00 PM to 7:30 PM, Saturday: 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM

sightonomy offers evidence-based myopia management plans for school-aged children whose nearsightedness continues to worsen. These programmes help parents monitor changes in their child’s prescription and aim to slow myopia progression over time.

They also handle tricky adult prescriptions, advanced contact lens fittings, and occupational progressive lenses matched to how you use your eyes at work.

What sets their checkups apart is the list of hospital-style tests they pack into an appointment.

Plus, you can get eye pressure checks, retinal photography, microscope scans of the front of the eye, and Amsler grid checks for central vision.

Be aware that they don’t take walk-ins, and you can’t return or exchange any glasses or contacts once the order goes through.

Very good experience

Very good experience.  I had my eye health checked and glasses prescribed and made.  My optometrist, Shane, was very professional,  personable, reassuring and patient. I would have no hesitation recommending him to anyone needing optometric service.

5. EMME Visioncare Jelita Mall

Website: https://www.emmevisioncare.com/

Address: 293 Holland Road, #02-17, Jelita Mall

Contact: +65 9383 8569

Hours: Monday to Sunday: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM

EMME Visioncare at Jelita Mall is led by founder Shawn Au, who brings more than 25 years of experience in optical practice. His extensive background may reassure parents who want experienced guidance on overnight contact lenses for their children.

Rather than pushing a single product, his team checks the eyes first and walks parents through myopia control spectacles, soft lenses, or orthokeratology (Ortho-K, which uses specialised lenses to reshape the cornea while your child sleeps).

A friend took her primary-schooler to the Holland Road branch last term, and she liked how Shawn explained the ongoing follow-up care before they spent a cent.

For adults, they also fit specialist contact lenses for dry eyes and offer an express eyewear service when you need glasses in a hurry.

Sadly, turning up without an appointment can mean the optometrist isn’t ready to see you right away. So, much better to book an appointment to avoid unnecessary delays.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality eyewear and attentive service

A special thanks to Senior Optometrist, Mr. Jaycob, who was exceptionally thorough and professional. He took the time to understand my needs and ensured the prescription and fitting were just right. His expertise really made all the difference.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality eyewear and attentive service!
