Firmoo Glasses Review (Picture Heavy)

'Artsy' Glasses Equals Clichéd 'Artsy' Photo - Needs Must & All That...
For someone who does a lot of online shopping, buying glasses online is something I'd never even thought of. So I was very intrigued when Firmoo offered me the chance to try out the service for myself and review the experience for all you lovely readers. A little off topic, but something I thought might interest some of you. So, first to tell you a little bit about the company's aim.
"Vision - An ideal pair of prescription glasses as a half medical tool to correct vision should be made up of a quality frame and lenses with accurate prescription. We promise all our eyeglasses frames are of high quality. Besides, all eyewear provided by us goes through strict inspection by our experienced opticians before shipping to ensure the accuracy of lens prescription. That's why we keep the lowest return and exchange rate among all online optical stores worldwide.
Fashion - We offer classic and fashion glasses frames for you to choose from. All of these frames which are quite popular in the world are elaborately picked by our staff from thousands of frames in the market.
Frugal way - Our prescription eyeglasses are inexpensive even though with high quality, therefore, everyone can afford it."
Firmoo have over 300 styles which are not only quite fashionable, but incredibly inexpensive. At first I was a little overwhelmed by the selection, but I quickly discovered their virtual try-on system. You simply upload a picture, click to indicate your pupils and then, if you're like me, spend a ridiculous amount of time trying on numerous styles! Which is far more fun than it should be; in the end, I actually went with one of the first pairs I tried on (see below).
Firmoo Virtual Try-On System
For me, glasses have always been something I consider to be a pricey buy and therefore I have, in the past, always played it safe when it comes to the frame design. I always feared choosing something too 'fashionable'; I wanted a pair to carry me through a number of years as opposed to a season or two. But when glasses are this inexpensive (or in the case of this review, complementary) there's not much to lose! And as you can see I opted for a pretty bold style (bold for me anyways)! 
Firmoo Review
You can get both prescription and non-prescription glasses, so you're covered whether you (like me) wave at people you don't know and ignore people you do(!) or you simply want them as a fashion accessory! The pair I chose arrived in mint condition a long with both a soft and hard cover case and looked exactly how they did on the website! Result!

Needless to say I'm quite thrilled with the entire service, and hope to get myself some swanky prescription sunglasses for the spring (because I am an eternal optimist of Irish weather?!).

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in trying then you're in luck! Even better than the huge selection, worldwide delivery, and inexpensive prices, is the introduction of a new programme by Firmoo, where your first pair of glasses are free (see here for more information.)!! The perfect way to try it out and see for yourself! 


So what do you reckon? Will you become, or are you already, a virtual glasses shopper?

  6. These look gorgeous on you ... I've just had a play around and I can get 3 (THREE!) pairs delivered for €90 (with thinned down lenses!) That's way cheaper than Specsavers and there's sooo many to choose from. What is the style number of the ones you went for?
    I'll be popping inot specsavers to get my half price eye test and then I'll be definately ordering!
