  5. Do I need a prescription to place an order for contact lenses?
    Yes, as mandated by the Singapore Optometrists & Opticians Board (OOB), a valid contact lens prescription and an eye health assessment are required for the purchase of contact lenses. Get a free eye test from our certified optometrists at our stores that offer contact lens services.

  6. Why can't I use my glasses prescription for my contact lenses?
    Prescriptions for eyeglasses and contact lenses are different as contact lenses are placed directly on the eye, whereas glasses sit on your face, about 12 mm away from your eyes. Thus a different prescription strength is needed for each type of corrective eyewear. Additionally, contact lenses fit the size and shape of your eye, so contact lens prescriptions also include information about lens curvature and width. 

  7. I ordered a wrong contact lenses power by mistake and only realised once I received my package, what can I do to get the box/boxes exchanged?
    You can request us for an exchange, we usually entertain a request for an exchange within 14 days of you receiving the order.  You will need to pay for shipping back the boxes to us and will need to pay for the correct lenses to be shipped to you. 
    Please note: We do not accept any opened or damaged contact lenses boxes for exchange.

  8. My order is not here yet. Who should I contact?
    All online purchase takes 3-4 business days to be fulfilled. Business days refer to Mon-Fri only. Should there be any delay, the customer will be informed on the next business day after a purchase has been made. Online orders cut-off timing is at 3 pm daily. Orders coming in after 3 pm will be processed on the next business day. For online purchases with eye-check, the fulfillment period starts after the eye check is completed and the prescription is reaffirmed by the attending optometrist.

    All contact lenses shipped will have an expiry date of at least 1 year and 6 months (18 months), there may be a possibility that in one order, there can be boxes of multiple expiry months and years.  As long as the contact lenses are over 18 months in expiry, we will not entertain any requests for refund or exchange.

  12. I already have my prescription. Can I use it to make my progressive glasses?
    Progressive eye prescriptions require special care, where an individual’s eye condition is tailored to their prescription. During this eye test, our optician will measure key unique personal features such as pupillary distance, pantoscopic tilt and habitual reading distance to ensure an optimal wearing experience. To follow legal guidelines and provide the best possible service, we require an appointment to see our optician /optometrist to ensure every detail of your prescription is correct and the frames you’ve picked are best fitted to your face.
