Numerous varieties of face masks have appeared on the market since the Novel Coronavirus was discovered. Some cutting-edge masks have been demonstrated, such the Leaf self-sterilizing face mask and the elegant mask with an LED screen. Our mouths and nostrils are covered by these masks, but what about our eyes? This is the inquiry that prompted the development of Stoggles.
Stogles are a pair of eyewear that seem fashionable and shields your eyes from contaminated hands. The fashionable wearables were created by a LA-based firm called Stoggles Eyewear and will actually prevent your fingers from touching your eyes.
The team estimates that we unintentionally touch our eyes at least 100 times per day. Therefore, safeguarding our eyes should be a top priority, especially at this time, in addition to covering our mouths and noses with the many face masks that are available.
The Stoggles now resemble a typical pair of sunglasses with some nice colours and a current style. But the sides and top of the frames have specifically crafted shields that will keep your fingers from getting near your eyes. Additionally, the shields are clear and constructed of the same material as the lenses to give the user an unrestricted field of view.
The team was inspired by the fact that traditional eyeglasses allow wearers to effortlessly put their fingers inside the frame from the sides.
The finger-blocking shield protection on the sides of swimming goggles is present, but they are overly hefty. In order to create Stoggles, the team blended the two ideas.
In addition to the finger-blocking shields, Stoggles have anti-fog coated lenses, blue-light blocking, and impact-resistant construction. Additionally, users have the option of purchasing a lens that dims when exposed to UV light.
The business is currently undertaking an Indiegogo campaign, and so far it has raised $303,794 (about Rs 2,28,02,154). According to the business, production of the glasses has already begun, and orders will begin to be shipped in September.
Therefore, you can purchase your own pair of Stoggles for $29 (about Rs 2176) if you want a pair of fashionable goggles that will both protect your eyes and make you seem fashionable.
