However new glasses also meant being limited to what the insurance covered, still exciting but definitely a party pooper. I dreamed of the days when I could afford name brand glasses that I loved.

Fast forward years later and as glasses have evolved into cooler and more unique styles, I noticed so have the prices! 

There are now many websites that offer cool stylish glasses at a cool and stylish price. My younger brother decided he would try buying frames from one of these websites named Firmoo.com. I always warn him taking the cheap way out will always result in mess but this time I was wrong. He got two quality pairs of glasses for under $30! As a college student this was perfect for him. So I decided to try it out for himself. If I’m gonna be wrong I want to see what the hype is about.

I got my prescription from the eye doctor by mail, super easy. I spent a while looking for glasses I liked best as Firmoo has a wide selection of frame sizes, shapes, and colors. I read a lot of reviews, looked at pictures people uploaded, searched the hashtag on Instagram and even measured my face to get a better idea of how they would fit. Finally I carefully entered my prescription and got the option of the most regular basic lenses. (They have bifocals , transition lenses, and more.)

Order placed.

They arrived within a week or two and although the frames took some time to get used to (I’m a very basic black frame kinda girl), I was pleasantly surprised at the number one factor. They worked! I could see! Prescription was perfect.

The glasses are super lightweight but still have the feel of real glasses. They come with a case, the cleaning cloth, discount codes, and small tools for repair purposes.

I now have 5 pairs! I haven’t spent more than $30 an order mostly due to the BOGO sales they always have. I also had a situation where I wanted to exchange and the customer service was quick and very accommodating. I would 100% recommend using Firmoo and I have to my friends! I’m confirming it’s legit. I’ve had them now for months with no issues.
