Affordable Spectacles - OWNDAYS
This company from Japan is a true disrupter to our local optician-trade. For years, Singaporeans pay hundreds to opticians who transfer the order to JB to get the spectacles made. OWNDAYS not only offer free cleaning and discount on replacements, they impose a flat rate of $98, $138 or $198 and 50% off the second pair for folks who require high-index lens (shipped from Japan) or within 20min-60min if they have your lens ex-stock.
Just imagine paying $150 to $300 for two decent pairs of spectacles (same person). This is as cheap as making your glasses in JB and there is also additional $10 transferable discount for each pair that you make.
They have a simple business model - selling us what we have been getting from local opticians over the years without crazy top-ups for multi-coats or higher index lenses.
