Mujiushi: Fixing Blurry Vision With Sharp Design
Are you looking for a new pair of spectacles that are guaranteed to help you turn some heads with a cool academic look? Then you absolutely must go over to Mujiushi in Taikooli. They have some seriously sharp looking frames ready to correct your eyes in style, and make all those dweebs still shopping at LensCrafters jelly.
We don’t know much about this brand other than they also have a store in Joy City and an online shop on JD.com. We have the feeling that they are attempting to be a cheaper version of a designer eyeglass store like Coterie. If this is their intent then they have totally succeeded.
They have a wide variety of cool designs ready to fit any face shape, with prices ranging from RMB 400 to RMB 2,000 for the more high-end designs. If you are getting glasses for the first time, they even have a dedicated section of the store where you can get an on-site eye examination to determine your prescription. Luckily, we just so happened to have a pair of old glasses on hand, which made it possible for the staff to determine the strength of our prescription through the use of a nifty machine.
Our glasses were pretty strong; they have three options of lens thicknesses you can purchase. The thinner the lens, the more it will cost you. That Coke bottle effect isn’t very desirable, you know.
After picking out the frames and the thickness of your lenses, your new glasses will be ready in seven business days. While we’ve been to a lot of eyeglass stores and markets in the past, few have such a sharp collection of frames designed to make anyone look like a chic art dealer or a Bond villain.
