OWNDAYS White Sands is the Pasir Ris branch of OWNDAYS, an optical shop known for quick turnaround and in-house lens crafting. Located at #01-16/17 of White Sands shopping centre along Pasir Ris Central, the store carries eyeglasses for men, women and kids, sunglasses, contact lenses and eyewear accessories, including the brand's own OWNDAYS | AIR and OWNDAYS | ESSENTIAL frame lines alongside bestsellers and new arrivals.
The shop's hallmark is speed and service: a complimentary eye test comes with every order, and glasses are typically ready in as little as 20 minutes when lenses are in stock, backed by a 1-year warranty on lens visual performance under the OWNDAYS Customer Guarantees programme. All OWNDAYS lenses are produced by major Japanese manufacturers and carry UV protection and anti-reflective coating.
The store also runs a popular lens replacement service, refreshing frames you already cherish — even spectacles bought from other shops — with a choice of option lenses such as progressives from Enhanced and Prestige through ZEISS Light 3D and Japan Progressive DAS, blue-light filters like BlueNyte, BlueHive and Japan SV Bluelight, light-responsive Transitions and PhotoShade tints, polarised, colour, anti-fog, ultra-thin 1.74 and Myopia Control lenses. Seasonal sales, gift cards and the OWNDAYS app round out the offering.
Right in the heart of Pasir Ris Central, OWNDAYS White Sands occupies units #01-16/17 at 1 Pasir Ris Central St 3, bringing the popular eyewear brand's blend of design-led frames, in-house lens services and fast turnaround to Singapore's east. Whether you need a brand-new pair of prescription glasses, fresh lenses for a frame you already love, or contact lenses for everyday wear, this White Sands store covers the full OWNDAYS range under one roof.
OWNDAYS built its reputation on doing things differently from traditional optical shops: transparent pricing, quick in-store production that lets many customers walk out with finished glasses the same day, and a catalogue constantly refreshed with bestsellers and new arrivals. The White Sands branch carries the brand's full offering — eyeglasses for men, women and kids, sunglasses, and contact lenses including clear vision lenses, colour lenses and Ortho-K lenses.
Shoppers can browse in-house lines such as OWNDAYS | AIR and OWNDAYS | ESSENTIAL, sunglasses and accessories under OWNDAYS | SUN, and playful collaborations like the ZOOTOPIA | OWNDAYS accessory range. Gift cards are available too, making this an easy stop when you are shopping for someone who is impossible to buy for.
If there is one service OWNDAYS is famous for, it is lens replacement. For a basic charge of S$98, the store will fit new lenses into a frame you already own — and that price includes the eyesight measurement, lens processing, frame fitting and frame cleaning. Crucially, this applies even to spectacles purchased from other shops, so a cherished frame that no longer matches your prescription does not have to be retired.
The process is straightforward. Step one: bring your glasses to the shop, where staff assess their condition and recommend the most suitable solution — which may mean replacing the frame, cleaning the lenses, or simply adjusting the fitting. Step two: take a complimentary eye test and choose your lenses, from standard options to upgrades. Step three: collect. When the lenses are in stock, your glasses can be ready in as little as 20 minutes after payment.
Not every frame qualifies — some glasses cannot be re-lensed due to their shape, parts or condition, and special processing such as rimless edging can take a few days and carry an extra cost — but staff will check your frame before you commit to anything.
The option lens menu is where things get interesting. Premium Anti-Glare lenses with 99% UV protection, anti-reflection, scratch resistance and a dust-repellent coating come at no extra cost. From there, add-ons include polarised or colour lenses (+S$100), anti-fog lenses (+S$100), ultra-thin 1.74 lenses for high prescriptions (+S$100), blue-light-reducing BlueNyte and BlueHive lenses (+S$200), PhotoShade light-responsive lenses (+S$200), and Transitions GEN S or XTRActive photochromic lenses (+S$300).
Progressive wearers are well catered for, from Enhanced Progressive (+S$100) up to Prestige Platinum (+S$600), with premium designs such as Japan Progressive DAS, ZEISS Light 3D and ZEISS Light 3Dv starting from S$700 to S$900. For parents, Myopia Control 3.0 lenses (+S$250) are designed around childhood myopia. All OWNDAYS lenses are produced by major Japanese manufacturers and carry UV protection and anti-reflective coating as standard.
Eye tests at OWNDAYS are complimentary and can be booked in advance online. Staff guide you through the lens options, explain coatings and refractive indexes, and match lenses to your daily visual habits. Every pair is backed by a 1-year warranty on lens visual performance under the OWNDAYS Customer Guarantees programme, with Care+ service plans and a membership programme for regulars. The OWNDAYS app also lets you browse and shop frames on the go.
OWNDAYS runs promotions year-round, and they are worth checking before you pay full price: the outlet sale offers up to 70% off, online-exclusive frames go at 50% off, there are sunglasses bundle deals, and a 2nd Pair 50% Off Sale if you want a backup pair or a work-and-weekend rotation. Keep in mind that custom-made lenses — colour and progressive options among them — take around two weeks, while option lenses and certain prescriptions may need about seven working days, so plan ahead if your visit is time-sensitive.
