Product Insights
MESSYWEEKEND's Milo narrow rectangular reading glasses are a Copenhagen-designed, Kickstarter-launched acetate frame that filters blue light with a clear, non-tinted coating, priced at $150 CAD (often $79.95 on sale, roughly 40% less than readers at Warby Parker or LensCrafters). They suit round faces, are hypoallergenic and phthalate-free, and with case storage and gentle care can last 5–10 years; they can be heat-adjusted by an optician for fit, but warp above 60°C and are permanently damaged by alcohol, acetone, or paper towels. The main tradeoffs: they are non-prescription with no diopter options, and the clear coating blocks only about 10–25% of blue light without a tint or color shift. Each purchase also funds 2 kg of plastic removal from the Colombian Pacific.

Lunettes de lecture vendues sans force
Retournée car il n'y avait pas de force dans les lentilles. Necessite d'en ajouter. Merci à la dame du service à la clientele de Simons qui m'a recommandé de les essayer avant de quitter car il s'agissait d'une commande en ligne. Grace à son bon conseil, cela m'a evité un deplacement car je les ai retourné sur-le-champ. De plus le confort n'y etait pas.
