Prescription Specs in Singapore?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find the answers. Does it makes sense to have the prescription specs made in Singapore, instead of Australia and will 4 days there be enough?

If you know tripadvisor, they have forums where most experts could answer this type of discussion.

I think you will find it is not worth the trouble. Different drugs, different names. Some drugs will need a local doctor for a prescription. If you had a large amount, then it would be worth crossing the border to Malaysia. Everything is cheaper and easier there, but it will require a full day of messing around. Thailand is the place for easy, cheap medicine.

My husband got some specs in Malaysia very cheaply with a 48 hour turn around. Singapore has a higher cost of living but not as high as Australia so it might be an option.

Depends. You will save a few dollars on the specs, but hey, the flight and the hotel stay won't blow that away, will it?

most specs shop in sg allows you to collect the specs within a few hours. cheaper or not compared to aus im not too sure

Hi

Optical 88 Basement 1 of Wisma Atria shopping mall on Orchard Rd - or in Ion major chain takes 2 days for specs. The eye test is free then lenses depending on how fancy you want them (i.e. thin/scratch proof etc) about 100-300 sgd frames about the same depending on designer etc - I don't know what will cost in OZ.
