Our Store Policy

If you provide your own prescription

If you wish to use a prescription given by another optical store, kindly note that there is no warranty for the lenses (no free replacement / refund of lenses) should they be unclear as the prescription was not given by foptics. Should you wish to confirm your prescription, do visit our store for an eye check.

*If you have a doctor’s prescription / prescription given by a specialist’s clinic, kindly WhatsApp us at 88742863 for more information.

If you follow your previous prescription given by foptics

You may choose to follow your previous prescription that was given by foptics for your future purchase. However if the eye check was done more than 6 months ago or if you think your prescription may have changed, you may visit our store for another eye check. There is no prescription warranty (free replacement/refund) for the lenses if the eye check was done more than 6 months ago. 

For children and teenagers, we recommend an eye check to be done once every 6 months.

Lens warranty

foptics lens warranty only covers lens coating issues for 6 months from the date of purchase. We do not provide warranty for lens scratches due to accidents or own negligence. 

There is no exchange nor free replacement for the lenses after your glasses are made. During the eye check, our opticians will prescribe a suitable prescription and seek your agreement that the given prescription is comfortable. Any discomfort / discrepancy should be brought up to the optician during the eye check process.  

However, should you encounter any issues with your lenses, feel free to WhatsApp us at 88742863 and we will do our best to help you!

Frame warranty

foptics covers frame manufacturing defects for 6 months. We can repair/replace parts that can be fixed i.e nose pads, screws etc. Do bring your glasses down to our stores should you require such servicing. We will do a 1-to-1 same frame replacement if manufacturing defects are beyond repair within the 6 months of purchase. 

We do not provide warranty for frame wear and tear.  Some examples of wear and tear are:

• lost of frame colour / corrosion / rust metal parts due to contact with moisture 

• scratches on frame due to accidental or own negligence. 

• broken / damaged frame due to accidental or own negligence.

You may purchase a new frame if your frame is damaged. Our opticians will be able to help you with lens transfer. 

Should you receive a pair of defective glasses via delivery, kindly contact us within 24 hours. 

foptics reserves the right to assess the condition and cause of damage of the frame.

For purchase of one-off frames, do note that there will be no replacement or warranty should there be any damage or defect as the frame is out of stock.

Use of own frame

Feel free to bring your own frame! While we will do our best to take good care of your frame, we will not be liable (no compensation / refund) in the slight event that your frame gets damaged or scractched during the lens fitting process. Should you change your mind, feel free to select a frame from our collection. 

We do not extend delivery services if you use your own frame. You may collect your glasses at our store when they are done! 

foptics reserves the right to assess the condition and design of your frame before accepting it.

Exchanges & Refunds

All glasses sold are strictly non-refundable nor exchangeable once they are made.  Please ensure that you have chosen the right frame and lens options before making your purchase.   Kindly refer to above for more information on our frame / lens warranty policy. 

Complimentary Frames

For purchases that include a complimentary frame, frame selected will be used for the glasses with the lens purchased.  Should you decide to use your own frame instead, no complimentary frame will be given.

Frame Reservation

Reservation of frame will only be accepted after full payment for the frame is made. We do not accept reservation of frames without payment.  

Kindly WhatsApp 88742863 if you wish to enquire on a particular frame availability or make a frame reservation.

Wear At Home Programme

foptics offers a Wear At Home service to help you pick frames that you love. You get to order up to three of our frames from our website and have them delivered to your doorstep, with a seven-day trial period to decide whether and which frame(s) to buy.  

Regardless of whether you eventually make a purchase, the frames are to be returned to us at the end of the seven-day trial period in satisfactory condition. The satisfactory condition of frames would include, but is not limited to, the following: no scratches, no broken or loose parts, no chips or cracks, no visible defects. Should you notice any defects or problems with the frames when they are delivered to you, please inform us immediately. 

If the seven-day trial period ends and any of the frames have not been received by NinjaVan, or the frames are returned damaged, we reserve the right to forfeit your deposit on each pair of frames that are missing or damaged, as explained on the Wear At Home page.

Currently, our Wear At Home Programme is only available to customers living in Singapore.
