Leading eye wear retail giant Vision Express just opened their newest flagship store at the 2nd Floor Entertainment Hall at the Mall of Asia in Pasay City. As of date, they have over 80 Vision Express stores all throughout the country and their success has been driven not just by doing well curated designer eyewear, but using AI technology to further enhance their services. 

 

Vision Express CEO Ms. Neelam Gopwani says "We have our new AI driven Virtual Styling Studio that can check your face shape, your colors and can pick the best pieces for you so your experience is better, easier. No more guesswork if you are overwhelmed with the eyewear displays because it can choose for you. We also have a really cool machine called Vision Plus which can check hypertension, cholesterol, diabetes risks from your eyes and do it in 30 seconds. It can give you a full scale report, and recommend through AI what you can do for your health. We're so proud of that technology. We started this about a year ago, we are taking advantage of that. The value of your eyes and protecting it over time. At the moment the Virtual Styling Studio is exclusive in the Mall of Asia branch, and we plan to roll it out in other stores very soon. It curates and customizes it for you."

Here's our interview with Vision Express CEO Ms. Neelam Gopwani

They have a dedicated section for Ray Ban, and have the largest collection of eyewear from them.

If you are a fan of brands like Loewe, Gucci, Mont Blanc, Prada, Miu Miu, Tom Ford and so much more (40 brands), they have already selected pieces that would best fit you by curating the eyewear selections. They did the best sellers world wide, you will find the perfect pair for you. This store also warm, very comfortable and has lots of seating. It's very chic and minimalist which makes it more attractive even from the outside.

I looked around and tried to find the perfect one for me, I seldom find eyewear that would fit me because I'm literally a big guy. Lo and behold they have Mont Blanc on the shelves which fits my style and size. I love the first one on the left, so if in case I'd get prescription glasses soon, I'd be glad to do it in that pair. I bet you'll find one easy when you visit their stores too.

See... it looks good on me!

If you are looking for hard to find ones, the latest model of eyewear from the reputable and premium brands, Vision Express is the place to find it.

Mark Dee Head of Growth and Marketing Partnerships

Something big happened this morning as cashless payment king Paymaya just announced something innovative that will happen in their app. They call it Paymaya Mall. This one stop shop will place all their partner merchant stores in one place so if you need to buy anything, you can visit their sites through the app and pay for it digitally.

Mark Dee says "Over the past year, we have seen millions of Filipinos do online shopping despite the quarantine. The regular groceris, essentials, food and drinks have been on top of the list. Even malls and shops have closed and online market places have sprouted and ecommerce are being utilized for businesses to run. Paymaya has been there for payment systems, today, we're proud to present to you the Paymaya Mall. We're bringing your favorite merchants together in one place so you get the convenience straight to your phones. We are now bringing our merchant partners to 28 Million Paymaya users nationwide. You can get the best value with cashless transactions using the app. Food, retail, sport, groceries, fashion, and now it's easier to browse and see which merchants and stores already cater to Paymaya as their payment system nationwide. There are no extra costs in being part of the Paymaya Mall for our partners. Our mission has always been financial inclusion for all. The experience is super enhanced with what Paymaya can only offer."

Maya (their official mascot) showed us several brands including McDonalds Philippines, Mercury Drug, Landers, Goldilocks, Rose Pharmacy, and a whole lot more. Merchants don't have to pay a fee to be included here, which means it is a good thing for businesses. Since it's Chinese New Year, Paymaya is starting it right with a P880 cashback on purchases in the PayMaya Mall. If you spend Php 300 using your PayMaya mobile number, you get 20% cashback of up to P88 per transaction. And you can do this 10 times but only til March 15, 2021. If you do it all, you'll get Php 880 in in cashbacks. Isn't that huge? Well, that's not all, because they've got 500 off your first Pick.A.Roo order if you enter the code PAYMAYAROO on the app. Aside from that, you can enjoy 12% off on Rustans purchases, a 5% discount on Boozy (they've got tons of drinks) among other perks inside the mall.

As the country's leading financial provider, this is one way to push for cashless payments in the country. These merchants must be exposed with their 28Million customers that Paymaya also has online and this positions them as the most rewarding finance related app and brand in the country. Delivery fees will still be in the merchant partners and can be paid in the Paymaya app.

This is the most rewarding payment system today as they have Balik Bayad which returns part of your payments instantly. There are several offers and discounts which you can also get today, if you have not seen it yet, you better check the app and go visit the Paymaya Mall.

An Eye Check Up?!

It is November and people in the office are in a stir because it is our annual physical examination. No it is not the paper and pen that you need on this one but the doctors and medical staff that would test if you are going to be fit for work. I was lucky enough to have passed all the previous years I was here but I think I'm going to complain about something today. I think I have eye problems now.

I have not been to an ophthalmologist or optometrist yet to have corrective procedures done but I'm sure this is going to be pretty simple. I think I am kind of tired too and I need a lot of rest since I have been going out quite a lot under the sun these past few weeks. Things may have damaged my eyes but I am not sure. I do not want to make things worse so I need corrective action. Is it time for me to wear glasses? Do you think I lost that 20/20 vision I had because of looking too much at computers? Oh I wonder!

The next thing in my mind though is that eyeglasses cost a lot in this side of the world. Even those commercial ones in the metro that promise to get you bifocals in an hour charge thousands of pesos just for a single frame. I could not spend money for that anymore; it just would not stand in line of the utility bills I have to pay. In the quest to find affordable ones, I remember one brand who made huge news in CNN before. It was ZENNI Optical. Yes ladies and gentlemen, it is the same on line store that had those $8 Prescription Zenni Glasses. I talked about them too a couple of months back.

They also have new Holiday Fun Eyeglasses on their store that seems perfect for the season. I may have to choose the one above though since it is simple enough for my needs. New Arrivals would probably come out next month and I will surely check them out too. I would not want to look old in the frames obviously. I will have to decide soon and I hope my eyes are not that badly damaged. I know everything would be alright.

Affordable and Stylish Eyeglasses

It is back to school season again and most folks would probably be preparing their kids for the busy first day. We on the other hand are getting a lot of people delegated so we would not cram for anything that would come this fiscal quarter at work. Not only do I have ordinary people in my team, they are parents too.

We have been following their day to day battle with expenses as education does not come cheap in the Philippines. The things they can save on are so important nowadays. The extra money they can keep will go into other more important things like allowances for food and school supplies. Prescription glasses are so expensive and usually go for hundreds of dollars. There is a new alternative to these expensive ones because I saw Zenni Optical on TV!!! This surely is a big break for parents since they need to keep money in these hard times. Imagine the huge breathing room on our budget as they offer complete Single Vision $ 8 Rx eyeglasses. That is just an awesome offer for people around the world. I have got nothing but high praises for a company that knows and cares for ordinary consumers. High Five to Zenni Optical as they take us to new offers this year! I am going to get this one in the picture which is so light and modernly designed. This is just awesome!

Zenni Optical : The Freedom to Choose

It’s a holiday today where I am; a day for the national hero of the Philippines. In this part of the world, there are hundreds of eyeglass retailers offering their best prices to woo customers into buying their merchandise. If you think about it though, their prices have changed dramatically over the years. Things definitely became expensive and some people would rather battle out their eye problems and endure the pain than to pay for spectacles. These are much like heroes in the movies, where they get hurt in the beginning; but this one is for the books.

In the recession that is shaking economic confidence around the world, people need to have smart choices in order to save money. These are tough times; even the US President elect acknowledges it. We are at an era where every single dollar saved counts. Instead of getting expensive prescription glasses from your optometrists or ophthalmologists, you can always have these instead. Paying eye glasses for $300 - $400 a pop just isn’t right anymore. I like these $8 spectacles I saw when I checked out their website.

The high end, fashion forward groups are all for signature/designer glasses. They don't really care about the prices. They know things that look good on them. What if you had the best of both worlds? Holiday frames on their website shows you lots of models fit for any lifestyle. What if you had the chance to get what you want that looks good on you yet stays affordable? Thousands have made their choice and opted to buy in this online store http://www.zennioptical.com. They have been featured in a few shows in the U.S. like Good Morning America and Fox News. There are a lot of people attesting to the quality of the eyeglasses from them, so why be left behind? Your freedom to choose dictates one thing, http://www.zennioptical.com.

You should try it out/recommend to your friends and relatives the choices you make. It's a not just a bargain, it's a steal already so why wait?!

Zenni was on FOX news!

OMG! Do you remember the online store I recommended here in my site a month ago? (Click here for that story) Zenni Optical was on FOX news! and just got featured in the Deal or Dud segment. This is where they review products, services and other things of human interest. It's a good thing that hey received some good reviews and even bared that people all over US ordered and got their prescription and Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni for a fraction of the cost in local markets. How about the statement "$20.00 for a 20/20 vision", that's way awesome!

People in the US and around the globe now have the chance to cheaper panache Great Eyeglasses For Less the price since they never go through middlemen. This portal directly had them order online and get the glasses delivered into their doorstep. Other suppliers and branded names maybe are in threat because consumers took advantage of this simple idea. Whatever their reasons are, I strongly know that this is a good thing. Middle class to the poorest of this country now have a choice; they can even save a lot in the process and not spend hundreds of dollars just for a pair.
