Prescription

Validity of Prescriptions

Prescriptions will only be recognised as valid within 12 months from the date of the eye test. We are unable to accept any prescriptions for online orders once it has expired.

In the event that your prescription has expired, you may book an appointment with us for an eye check or you may visit your optometrist / optician to obtain a new prescription. Please ensure that your name, date of eye exam and the prescriber / optical store is clearly shown on the prescription card.

Following Your Old Prescription 

Prescription from Sightonomy

If your last eye exam was done at Sightonomy, you may choose to follow your previous prescription for your future purchases.

If the eye check was done more than 6 months ago or if you feel that your prescription may have changed, you may book an appointment to review your prescription. In the event that the vision is unclear and a prescription that is more than 6 months is used, we are unable to provide any prescription warranty for the lenses.

Prescription from other optical stores

If you have provided a prescription from other optical stores, please kindly note that there will be no prescription warranty for the lenses in the event that the vision is unclear. As we provide a complimentary eye check with every purchase, you may book an appointment to review or confirm your prescription.

Prescription from specialist's clinic

If you were given a prescription given by a specialist’s clinic, please contact us for more information.

Warranty

Lenses

Lens coating quality issues will be covered for 6 months from the date of purchase. However, please take note that scratches are not covered under this warranty.

Frames

Manufacturing defects on frames will be covered for 6 months from the date of purchase. In the event that the frame is beyond repair due to any manufacturing defects, we will do a 1-to-1 replacement for the frame.

Please take note that wear and tear on the frames are not covered by the warranty. Examples of wear and tear include but are not limited to discoloration of frames, corrosion of metallic parts due to prolonged exposure to moisture, scratches on frame, any damages to the frame resulting from misuse or negligence.

In the event that you have received a damaged pair of glasses that was delivered to your address, please contact us within 24 hours of receipt and we will assist you promptly.

Sightonomy reserves the right in its sole discretion to assess and honour any warranty claims.

Using Your Own Frames

If you would like to use your own frame, please visit us and we will advise accordingly. Once you leave your frame with us, we will take good care of them. However, please take note that we will not be liable for any damage (i.e. scratches, breakage, discoloration) to the frame during the fitting and no compensation or refund will be provided.

Sightonomy reserves the right in its sole discretion to assess the suitability of the frame for the lens fitting before accepting it.

Exchanges and Refund

All spectacle orders are strictly non-refundable nor exchangeable after the order has been processed. Kindly refer to the sections above for frame and lens warranty information.

Eye Examination

Every purchase at Sightonomy's physical store(s) or online will entitle you to a complimentary eye examination. The eye examination will include a subjective refraction which is performed by a licenced optometrist / optician. In the event that you do not wish to make any purchase on your visit, please note that eye examinations are chargeable at $30 per person. You will be provided with your prescription details together with your payment receipt.

In the event that you would like to purchase a pair of spectacles with the given prescription, please contact us to complete your purchase in-store within 45 days from the date of the eye exam. The $20 eye examination fee will be refunded upon full payment of your purchase.
