Eye Zen Optical is an optical store at 71 Kallang Bahru, Singapore, built around the belief that everyone deserves crystal clear vision. The store works with the latest technology and optics to personalise spectacles for discomfort arising from double vision, colour blindness, tropia, phoria, computer vision syndrome and imbalanced progressive lenses.
Eye Zen Optical is the brainchild of Allen, a multi-passionate individual with interests in people interactions, entrepreneurship and opticianry. Allen has a vast amount of experience as an optician, having worked in the trade since 2005 and trained under a reputable master in optical lenses. From this experience, he developed a simple but valuable belief: fitting a good pair of glasses that meets each customer's specific needs goes a long way to improving their quality of life. In 2022, Allen took a leap of faith to open his own optical store, aiming to make glasses, make friends, and make people's days through his cosy little space.
The store is an exclusive dealer for Asahi Lite lenses, and has been recognised as a Best Spectacles Shop and A+ Best Spectacles Shop, with a Three Best Rated certification as one of the best opticians in Singapore.
Tucked into 71 Kallang Bahru in Singapore, Eye Zen Optical is built on the belief that everyone deserves a vision that is crystal clear. The store works with the latest technology and optics to personalise spectacles for a wide range of visual discomforts, from double vision and colour blindness to tropia, phoria, computer vision syndrome and imbalanced progressive lenses.
Eye Zen Optical is the brainchild of Allen, a multi-passionate individual with interests spanning people interactions, entrepreneurship and his long-standing love for opticianry. Allen brings a vast amount of experience to the store, having worked as an optician since 2005 and trained under a reputable master in optical lenses. That grounding led him to a simple but valuable belief: fitting a good pair of glasses that meets each customer's specific needs goes a long way to improving their quality of life.
In 2022, Allen took a leap of faith and opened his own optical store, channelling his skills, passion and heart into a cosy little space of his own. His approach goes beyond simply selling glasses — he endeavours to make glasses, make friends, and make people's days through the store.
Eye Zen Optical covers an extensive list of eye conditions, including anisometropia, tropia, phoria, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, visual dyslexia, stereoblindness, strabismus, pterygium, colour deficiency and age-related macular degeneration. This breadth reflects a focus that goes beyond standard spectacle fitting into more specialised visual discomforts.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), for example, is a common eye condition affecting the macula that causes gradual loss of central vision, primarily in adults over 50. There are two types — dry AMD, involving thinning of the macula, and wet AMD, involving abnormal blood vessel growth. While there's no cure, early detection and treatment can help slow its progression, which is why Eye Zen Optical encourages anyone concerned about AMD symptoms to come in for a consultation as soon as possible.
For customers unsure about what's causing their visual discomfort, Eye Zen Optical offers a free, non-obligatory eye consultation. This gives customers a low-pressure way to get a professional opinion before committing to a diagnosis or a new pair of glasses.
Eye Zen Optical is an exclusive dealer for Asahi Lite lenses, giving customers access to this specific lens brand alongside the store's personalised fitting approach.
The store has picked up recognition since opening, rated as a Best Spectacles Shop and an A+ Best Spectacles Shop, and holding a Three Best Rated certification as one of the top-rated opticians in Singapore. It has also been featured in guides covering the best spectacle shops in Singapore.
Eye Zen Optical is open from 11am to 7pm, closed on Wednesdays and Sundays. Customers can reach the store by phone or WhatsApp, or by email, and can drop by the Kallang Bahru location to discuss any eye discomfort or vision concerns directly with Allen and the team.
