I am really a contact lens wearer and have been for the last 20 years. Sometimes at night however, or now during allergy season, my contacts get uncomfortable and itchy. When my eyes are tired at night, I will often take my lenses out and try to squint at the TV. Not good right?!
I had an outdated pair of glasses from when I was in grad school that were of no use to me. (Back then I wore glasses all the time because I thought they made me look older and smarter and more like a psychotherapist.) LOL I actually wanted to look older!
I was offered the opportunity to check out Firmoo’s online selection of eye wear. I jumped all over that in the hopes of having a back up pair of glasses.
Firmoo aims to provide high quality, fashionable eye wear at affordable prices. Most of the styles were under $50 with many even on sale for as low as $15. Can’t beat that! Perusing their website, I found a huge selection of women’s glasses in current styles in both traditional and more trendy options. I wanted a funkier pair and set out to check out the options.
If you have a current RX for glasses, you can enter it in yourself for your order. I was due for a visit anyway, so this was perfect timing for me. My RX strength changed as well so great time to try a new pair of specs.
Firmoo has a fun way to virtually try on the glasses to see what they would look like on your face. You simply upload a photo of yourself and then place the different glasses onto your picture. Kind of cool. The website then instructs you to take a few measurements of your face. I did my best on this one but I think it would work better if someone else measured them.
So I no longer wish to look older, but I do like to see the TV at night without squinting. 🙂
My glasses arrived me in about a week after ordering and the quality of the frames is great. The ordering process was super easy and I would definitely purchase from Firmoo again.
So what do you think-Do they make me look like I run fast?
If you’d like to “See for yourself” and check out Firmoo you can get 50% off of your first order by clicking here. Can’t beat that! (Disclaimer: I was provided a pair of glasses in exchange for my review, however all opinions are my own.)
Have you ever bought RX glasses on line?

Annmarie says
You look super studious and very fashionable! Love them on you!!!
Deborah Brooks says
ha ha don’t know about that but I am glad to have an extra pair!
Jennifer @ Running on Lentils says
I was also contacted by Firmoo to try out and review their glasses. I wear contacts mostly and glasses occasionally, and they had some good styles to choose from. I started the process but was immediately turned off by the web experience. First, the text seemed to be written by people who don’t know English well, which made me wonder if it was a legitimate company. Second, I didn’t like that it wasn’t easy to save and compare different styles; every time I would save a style, it would save a different style. I ended up getting so fed up with the process that I never actually ordered a pair. Glad it worked for you, though.
Deborah Brooks says
Hmm I didn’t have that experience at all. I wonder if they were having a prob with their site that day? I was happy with my experience.
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
Super super cute!! I love that you got a colorful pair 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
figured why not?!
Jen @ Pretty Little Grub says
Oh my gosh!!! You look so adorable. I wish I could pull off a look like that.
Deborah Brooks says
Ha I felt kind of nerdy but I will prob only wear them at home.
Kate @KateMovingForward says
You look adorable!! I’ve always wanted to get glasses just for fun!
Deborah Brooks says
They really have some very affordable pairs.

steph says
I love ordering glasses online!
I clicked on the link for the code, though, and it went nowhere. Can you please post again?
Deborah Brooks says
Oh ok let me check on the link and I will re post it. Thanks for letting me know
Margo says
I love those glasses! I need to look into this company. Red is a good color for you!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! They are a great option for a great price!
Sam @ PancakeWarriors says
How stinkin cute are you in these glasses! I don’t wear glasses (decided at 13 I didn’t need them anymore – I guess it was me rebelling but I haven’t looked back). But my eyes barely got me through my last driving test, so I’m thinking glasses might have to get purchased soon 🙁 These look AMAZING on you – thanks for the resource
Deborah Brooks says
Can’t beat the price!
Maureen says
Super cute! I finally had to stop with contacts about 5 years ago and LOVE wearing glasses now. I usually only get black & brown so they will match most of my outfits.
Deborah Brooks says
You may need to branch out your colors they have great prices.
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Those are super cute! I want some funky, bright glasses.
Deborah Brooks says
They have a great selection!
Molly @alsoranagain says
What cute and fun glasses! And what a coincidence–I wrote about glasses today, too!
Deborah Brooks says
They were a great find!
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
Yours is the second post I”ve seen about these glasses–I’m going to have to check them out. My only hesitation is that I have a crazy bad prescription…
Deborah Brooks says
I think they can do any RX you just enter it in.
GinaB @ Mirror Watching says
Nice glasses. I guess you can get just about anything online now.
Deborah Brooks says
So true! You don’t even have to leave your house 🙂
Sam @ Grapefruit & Granola says
Your new glasses look so fun! How do they fit? I once ordered a pair of glasses online but they really didn’t fit me well, and it has discouraged me from ordering glasses without being able to try them on first.
Deborah Brooks says
They ask you a series of measurements that are pretty easy to do on your own. Mine came out perfect.
Patty @ Reach Your Peak says
I am in desperate need of new glasses so will definitely be checking this out! My glasses are from freshman year of college (9 years ago) lol
Deborah Brooks says
Ha mine were even older than that!!
Akaleistar says
The glasses are so cute!
Deborah Brooks says
They had some stylish options for sure
Kelly @ LeafyNotBeefy says
Fun! Oh yes, you must run very fast! 😉 I’m actually in the process of reviewing a pair as well – hope I like them too 🙂 By the way, your blog is so nice and colorful! 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much! Hope you like your glasses too-I was very happy with the experience.
Emily @ Whatever Floats Your Oats says
Love the glasses! What a cool option to try the glasses virtually – love that idea! Congratulations on being a Womens Health Action Hero as well. You are an inspiration!!
Deborah Brooks says
Oh thanks that’s sweet! I do love the glasses and it was a really easy way to get them done.
jill conyers says
I think I want new glasses now. You look too cute.
Deborah Brooks says
Aw thanks!
Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says
Your glasses look great! Is that your son’s biology textbook?
Deborah Brooks says
Yes! LOl
GiselleR @ Diary of an ExSloth says
I’ve needed new glasses for like the last 2 – 3 years but they can get pretty expensive. Def gonna check to see if Firmoo is available in Canada or if there’s a similar service here!
Deborah Brooks says
They were very affordable I would really rec them
Stephanie (@FitMomTraining) says
I love them!! So funky and cool! Good choice!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! Always great to have a back up pair right?
