Recently, I received an email from a company named Firmoo with the subject line ‘Firmoo is Sending Out Free Glasses to Bloggers’. Free glasses…REALLY? I am so glad that I didn’t hit delete which was my first instinct, because I am really happy with my stylin’ new Firmoo eye glasses (see picture below)! What do you think?
Firmoo Eye Glasses
I’ve reviewed a lot of things since starting this blog, but eye glasses is something I never would have dreamed of. Don’t you have to go to they eye doctor for new glasses? It turns out that I did have to pay a visit to the doc, but only to get a new prescription. You see, I was looong overdue for a new pair of specs. As luck would have it, I found a deal in town for a $29 eye exam.
After getting my new script, I headed over to the Firmoo web site to check out some frames. It took a little time to find the perfect pair of frames, because there were a lot of them to choose from. I searched by shape, designer, and material until I found the beauty you see resting on my face. I had fun with the Virtual Try-on tool. You simply upload a head shot of yourself, mark your pupils, and try on the glasses…virtually. When uploading your image, they ask for your PD which I couldn’t find on my prescription. It turns out this is the distance between your two pupils. I was able to measure it with a ruler, starting at the center of one pupil and going straight across to the center of the next one. It worked just fine this way.
I think that the next time I am bored, I will upload pictures of the dogs and see how they would look with glasses. Sounds fun, right?!
One thing that struck me as odd was how inexpensive most of the frames were, starting as low as $8.00. I did a little research and found that the company was legit. I came across some reviews by other bloggers who seemed happy with their new glasses. Also, I learned that online eyeglass companies with low overhead are able to offer frames direct to consumers at a fraction of what you would pay at the optometrist’s office. That works for me!
With the same price, you can buy 8 pairs of eyewear at firmoo.com instead of 1 pair at local mortar-and-brick store.
The online ordering process was easy peasy. Just a couple of days after placing my order, I received an email from Customer Service letting me know that my glasses were on their way. About a week later, I received a package which contained not only my new Firmoo eye glasses; but also a nice case, carrying pouch, cleaning cloth, and a neat little screw driver with extra screws.
{Fortunately, my glasses fit pretty well so I haven’t had to use this handy dandy tool yet.}
Get free glasses!

I’m going to head right over there. I’ve always wished I could have more than one pair of glasses, just to change up my look. Maybe with these prices, I can!
I am absolutely obsessed with getting new glasses! Its like a shoe addiction! I just went to this site (its new to me… I usually use Coastal.com or zennioptical.com) but it says their free glasses offer is suspended until 10/7 and that they only give away a limited number of free glasses per day. I guess I’ll pick some out and try and score them early in the morning after 10/7. Thanks for the tip! I’m excited to add to my collection!
Those glasses look great!! I need to look them up-thanks!
Luckily, I don’t wear glasses. But for those who do, this looks like a great deal! Free eyeglasses, you can’t beat it!
I’ve always wondered about online websites and how they could offer things so much cheaper! That’s amazing, and those glasses are awesome! Next time I need glasses, I am going to have to go the online route!
I love that pic of you at the beginning of the post! These glasses really suit your face and look so pretty! 🙂
I need to go to the eye doctor and have my eyes tested before I get new glasses but I know I need them and this program seems great.
Wow! I LOVE that you can put the glasses on when shopping online to see what they would look like. I never wanted to buy glasses online because it is hard to know how they are going to look. Now I can! Can’t wait to check it out!
Nice bonus with the screw set! Yes, I would be stoked to try out glasses as well. With two active kiddos my glasses get scratched and broken too often.
wow how I wished I could had my prescriptions on me
