Never seen any SQ pilots using glasses though...
Pilots without perfect eyesight can wear spectacles & must carry 1 spare on board (including training). Contact lenses not allowed. Lasik surgery is a straight medical disqualification during my time. Not sure if this has change. Anyway, all above restrictions come from CAAS, not SIA.
I'm sure you will bump into SQ pilots wearing glasses one day.
