I never do product reviews, but when Firmoo approached me to review a pair of their glasses, I couldn’t refuse. I’ve been wearing glasses since the fourth grade and I have only owned maybe five frames since then. In fact, when I was in college, I went almost two years wearing chipped frames that folks kindly assumed was part of their design. Glasses are so expensive and such an immediate fashion statement that buying frames puts me into an anxious state because who even knows the next time I’ll be able to buy them.
What I was sent–before the big reveal
That’s where Firmoo comes in. The pair they sent me, including lenses, frames, and coating, costs about 40 dollars plus shipping. I spent over 200 dollars on the frames I bought earlier this year from Lens Crafters and that was WITH my insurance, which covers lenses and part of the cost of frames. The buying process on firmoo is quick and painless, and they have a pretty good selection. I was pretty psyched about the frames I chose because I’ve been searching for a blue pair for a long time.
The only difficulty I had with the ordering process was that my
My new glasses! Thanks Firmoo!
prescription didn’t include a Pupil Distance (PD) measurement. I found a nifty online test that helped me figure it out, though, and I’ve had no problems with the lenses.
If you’re looking for a reasonably priced way to get fashionable glasses, I highly recommend Firmoo. I’m going to buy myself a pair of perscription sunglasses in the near future.
AND, if you’ve never ordered from Firmoo before, they have a First Pair Free program you should check out!
Disclosure: Firmoo sent me the glasses for free in exchange for a review.
I received the same offer but I am soooooo particular and sensitive if my RX is even just a tad off, that I passed on the offer. I’ve not been lucky with any of the discount lens places.
Very spiffy! I wear glasses and I didn’t get a Firmoo offer. *pouts*
Oooo, pretty! I’ve always wanted to try out something like a Firmoo thing, but I need prisms and other weird stuff and most of those places don’t seem to do those. (I also get my glasses at LensCrafters! Bit expensive, but the eye doctors are v. nice and they’re the only one who don’t freak out about my terrible eyesight. lol.)
