Is OWNDAYS Cheaper in JB Than in Singapore in 2026? Plus Lenskart

OWNDAYS can be cheaper in JB than in Singapore in 2026, but not by default: it depends on the frame, the day's exchange rate, lens upgrades and your trip costs. According to OWNDAYS, prices in both countries include standard lenses, so compare the same frame on the OWNDAYS Singapore and Malaysia websites before you go. OWNDAYS says its warranties are valid in its shops worldwide. Singapore Customs gives GST import relief of up to S$100 for trips under 48 hours.

OWNDAYS Singapore and Malaysia: what the official sites say

OWNDAYS uses a simple, all-in pricing system in both countries, which makes a like-for-like comparison possible. At the time of writing, the official OWNDAYS websites say:

• Singapore: every pair comes at a set price that includes a pair of high index aspheric lenses, with no additional charge for standard lenses of any power. You pay the price shown on the frame.
• Malaysia: OWNDAYS Malaysia advertises no additional charge for ultra thin multi-coated lenses and says spectacles can be completed in about 20 minutes.
• Warranty: OWNDAYS' customer guarantees include a 1 year frame warranty for manufacturing defects, a one-time free change of lens degree within the first year (with exclusions), and free lifetime fitting, cleaning and maintenance at any OWNDAYS shop around the world.
• Worldwide service: OWNDAYS states that its warranties are valid in OWNDAYS shops worldwide, so you can take a pair bought in Johor Bahru to an OWNDAYS shop in Singapore for after-sales help.

Optical shops and eyewear sellers in Singapore include OWNDAYS, Lenskart, Taylor Morris Eyewear and multi-brand online fashion stores such as ZALORA, so it is worth comparing more than one before you decide.

Is OWNDAYS cheaper in JB than in Singapore?

OWNDAYS is cheaper in JB only when the ringgit price of the same frame, converted at the day's rate, plus your trip costs, comes in below the Singapore price. There is no fixed answer, because prices, promotions and the exchange rate all move. Here is how to compare fairly:

1. Pick the exact frame. Note the model name on the OWNDAYS Singapore website.
2. Find it on OWNDAYS Malaysia. Search the same model and check it is the same size and colour.
3. Convert the ringgit price at the rate your card or money changer will actually give you, not the headline rate.
4. Add your lens choices. Upgrades such as progressive, blue light or polarised lenses are priced separately in each country, so compare those too.
5. Add trip costs. Bus, train or taxi fares, the time at the Causeway or Second Link, and any parking all count.
6. Check GST import relief if you are bringing the glasses back yourself (see the next section).

An illustrative example, not real prices: say a frame is S$150 in Singapore and the same frame in JB converts to S$125. If your return transport costs S$15, JB saves you about S$10 on that pair. If the transport costs S$30, Singapore is cheaper. If you were going to JB anyway, the trip cost is close to zero and small gaps start to matter. If you are making the trip only for glasses, the gap usually needs to be bigger.

GST import relief on glasses bought in JB

Glasses bought in JB count as new goods for Singapore's GST import relief. According to Singapore Customs, the relief you get depends on how long you were away:

Time spent outside Singapore	GST import relief on new goods
Less than 48 hours	Up to S$100
48 hours or more	Up to S$500

GST is payable on the value above your relief amount. Singapore Customs also lists who is not eligible, including holders of a work permit, employment pass, student pass, dependent pass or long-term pass issued by the Singapore Government. If a JB pair plus your other shopping goes over the relief, include the GST in your comparison.

OWNDAYS Singapore best deals in 2026

Two people can share it if both pairs are in the same transaction.

Lenskart reviews in 2026: what to check

Read recent reviews for your nearest Lenskart store and for online orders separately, since the experience can differ. When you read reviews on Google, Trustpilot or social media, look for:

• How recent they are. Policies and staff change, so the last few months matter most.
• Store versus online. In-store eye tests and adjustments are a different experience from home delivery.
• What the issue was and how it ended. A review that explains how an exchange was handled tells you more than a star rating.

Where can I buy cheap sunglasses in Singapore?
