Firmoo: New Glasses... Free Glasses! For you and me!

Got new glasses today.

 That in itself might not be worth writing about, but I got them for free! And you can too!

 The old opinion that glasses are only necessities for people with vision problems has already gone. Glasses are increasingly becoming a fad and must-have accessories for celebs and fashionistas. Everyday we can spot millions of non prescription glasses wearers and we are constantly fascinated by many noted film stars’ signature non prescription glasses.They instantly upgrade your look of modern,sexy, vintage or geek by wearing different styles of frames.

OF course, some of us actually need the bloody things, so as to, well, see. That's where I come in on the issue. And so I was very excited when I was approached by a member of the Firmoo online glasses merchant regarding their First Pair Free Program.

I can't even begin to describe how timely this offer was for me! As a noble member of that class known as 'starving artist', even the expense of a pair of glasses is one that I will scrutinize out of existence. Thus, I had been wearing the same pair of semi-broken glasses from 6 years ago after my most recent pair went bust. All I had to do was unearth an old prescription and, presto, free glasses!

Firmoo is an online glasses company, where you can fill in the details of your prescription (if you have one) and get a brand new pair of glasses in the mail. Anyone who wears glasses knows that a decent pair, once you include the prescription cost, can run up above $100. Not so with the various existing online merchants, where, if you already have a prescription, you can get a decent pair for $20. Firmoo is no exception. One can find a very serviceable and fun pair of glasses for what amounts to chump change!

Their selection is quite vast, and I really like the intuitive, easy way the frames are organized - by size, shape, and materials. Also, a little photo uploader exists which allows one to 'try before you try', so as to make sure that the frames look good on your face.

Now a little something from their mission statement:

"Our Aim - Vision & Fashion the Frugal Way

• 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.

I have had mine for about a week, and I am very pleased with them! The link for the pair I got was here. Yes - a $40 pair of glasses for free! I always had wanted to get a pair of somewhat larger and rounder ones, but I had never dared. I got stuck in the tiny-glasses rut a while ago, and had not been presented with the opportunity to try something radically new, and at no cost!

I love the way I can see very easily from every angle (instead of only having vision concentrated in the very front of my face like with the smaller glasses). I like how they look, too, which is a double plus! They are fun and look like I want them too.

The quality seems good.  I'm not a huge connoiseur of glasses mechanics, but these seem well-made. I have in the past put on glasses that feel like they are made out of paper, or that will begin sliding off your face after just a few days. Not so these!


Though I can't guarantee they're klutz-proof, I can see they will last a very long time, with a reasonable caring attitude towards them.

I have purchased online glasses through other merchants, and sadly have found them somewhat lacking in this department. These, however, seem solid & safe.

When I first put them on, I find that I'm having a bit of trouble with the prescription part in the left eye - it doesn't feel quite right- but I attribute that to the fact that I was wearing very old glasses for a good 12 months, in addition to having used a converted contact lenses prescription to get these. So, word to the wise -- if you do this, please make sure you have a 100% correct prescription!

So, go on then! If you really need a new pair, or if you've always wanted a snazzy pair of faux glasses or sunglasses just for the heck of it, now's your chance! For only shipping cost you will be well on your way to a new look. Remember, the  First Pair is Free.
