Whoosh eyewear

Glasses these days aren’t cheap which is why this shop caught my eye with the big fonts of RM165 which states that it includes frames and lens! Frames here are super trendy and in style, and is the place for those who value looking good just as much as seeing good.
I really liked the set up of the shop, none of the old school style of displaying spectacles under glass cabinets without compartments where viewing is just uneasy. They are also sectioned according to price and it ranges from cheap to very expensive.
Prices are stated on the displays, letting you know how much things costs and should you wish an upgrade like for different quality of lense, so it saves you time on inquiry and surprising yourself on hidden charges. Service here is pretty express, where you’d be able to collect your spectacle within an hour or so.
I saw a couple of vintage looking ones, very much catering to the current trend. They also have a small selection of sunglasses. Quality of the frames seemed pretty okay, but in terms of aesthetics it’s definitely for the trendsetters.

I just got to know that this brand is actually under the Focus Point group and if it has anything to do with Focus Point, one of Malaysia largest optometry and eyewear companies, you know they have good quality stuff.
When I first got to whoosh I didn’t know what I was expecting. It looked like any normal eyewear shop, it even looked a little cheap for me but I realized that they don’t concentrate on sunglasses at this place. It’s all about reading glasses and their frames.
The price range varies from cheap to expensive depending on your budget and the variety of colors they carry are endless. I don’t use reading glasses myself because I ate a lot of carrots in my childhood (at least that’s what my mom told me, I could have just been nibbling on an orang wrapped chocolate bar) so I didn’t find any particular use of this shop for me.
Unless I had a geek themed party to go to then I guess ill just get an empty frame or something…

Whoosh is a new eyewear concept store that offers a variety of frames with lens at three attractive prices. I went with the lowest price RM165 which includes the lens and frame of my choice. An obligatory eye check up will be done at no extra cost before they can determine your lens’ power.
I was initially a little skeptical as the person who did my eye check up also doubled up as a sales person instead of a legit optometrist on duty. However, the results came out pretty accurate as I didn’t experience much difference with my eyesight over the past few years. I guess technology does the bulk of the work now though I would have preferred if a legit optometrist was doing the eye check ups. The good thing is if your lens power is available, then your new spectacles will be done in about an hour.
Luckily they had my lens power in store so I paid the full price (or you can choose to pay a deposit) and came back in an hour’s time to collect it. One thing I disliked though was that when I asked for a new frame, they told me they only had one frame per design in stock which means what I’ll be getting is the frame on display. I guess that explains their low prices as compared to other eyewear stores. What this place offers is convenience and express service so if you’re not fussed and want a frame that’s current in design then this is the place for you.
