It’s the month of June, and my kids will finally graduate from high school. My youngest Mariel will be in senior high, while my eldest Maris will be in college. They told me that they are excited for the next school year because there might be a possibility for face-to-face classes. For now though, they would still have to learn under online classes. It has nearly been two years ever since the kids started taking classes in Google Meet and passing homeworks in Google Classroom. No one would have expected schoolwork to be done online. This is proof that technology really does play a big role in our lives.
As their mom, I’ve noticed how their exposure to screens have suddenly increased. It is inevitable though as they need to attend their online classes in their laptops every day. In breaktimes, they are exposed to screens due to scrolling through social media in their cellphones. When eating lunch and dinner, we are exposed to screens yet again because we watch Netflix on the TV. Because of their overexposure, their eyes might become damaged. All these digital screens contain blue light. Blue light is a visible light that holds harmful high-energy that aside from eye strain, may also cause blurred vision, headaches, and neck and shoulder pain.
To protect their eyes, I have started my online shopping for eyewear. I clicked on different websites, and Mouqy really stood out to me. Led by a team of eye experts, Mouqy is a new eyewear website that offers not only blue light-blocking glasses but also fashionable yet high-quality (and affordable!) glasses.
Mouqy has various choices for everyone, both men and women. They have a curated range of eyewear for all face shapes, whether round, oval, or even triangle. They also follow a lens index, wherein you can choose the strength prescription and durability of the lens. I honestly don’t know much about this stuff, but Mouqy’s blog provides you with everything you need to know, from what your face shape is to what lens index is right for you. They have also answered FAQs such as how to read frame measurements and pupillary distance. What I personally love about their blog though is their fashion insights, wherein they recommend glasses based on what the trend is nowadays or if you want glasses like John Lennon’s, they also have suggestions.
While looking for eye frames, I can’t help but be in awe because there are so many pretty frame choices! They have one for every occasion: for the workplace, for casual wear, for formal events. You can filter between styles such as aviator, cat eye, or rimless, or between many available colors. But even though there are so many options to choose from, I wasn’t overwhelmed because Mouqy gives you recommendations based on your face shape.
Plus, you can do a Virtual Try-On. I was so excited when I saw this feature because at least I can now breathe a little easier knowing that it would actually look good on them. To do this, you just click on any glasses you like, then click “Try now”. Allow camera access and voila. You can also adjust the pupillary distance and iris size in the product settings for a better fit. If you want, you can upload a photo instead. The face detection works really well.
Mouqy’s glasses range from $10-200 (in US dollars). When checking out an eyewear, you must undergo three customization choices. First, you choose between whether you want prescription and non-prescription lenses. Next, you are given the option of adding blue light blocking lenses.
Finally, you choose your lens index (there are descriptions under every index, but you may also read their blog for more info). Don’t forget to select the right size!
Mouqy accepts payments in Paypal, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. Shipments will be delivered within 7-14 business days, whether inside or outside the US. If there are any manufacturing defects found on your order, Mouqy provides a 30-day one-time replacement or refund guarantee. Sounds great right? Go get a new pair of eyewear in Mouqy and I’m gonna click “Check out” right now!
