I suffer from frequent bouts of eye irritation, which I’m sure is caused by prolonged contact lens wear. They fit absolutely fine, no need for any adjustments, and most importantly I can see clearer than I’ve been able to for years! My new glasses came in a lovely map print case and there was a double-ended mini screwdriver on a key ring to make adjustments!Ĭontact lenses are still essential for me, particularly for exercising, but since receiving the new glasses I’m wearing my contacts less than I used to which has to be a good thing for the health of my eyes. The colour is more brown than the red in the photo but I don’t mind that at all.
To my surprise they only took about a week to arrive and when I tried them on I loved them straight away. They fit absolutely fine, no need for any adjustments, and most importantly I can see clearer than I’ve been able to for years! Even without any discount or offers they’d have only cost £40…can you imagine how much something similar would have cost from a high street optician? I’d guess at three or four times that amount. The total cost, including postage was £28 (the frames would have been an additional $19 without the offer) which I think is incredible value.
#Firmoo glasses lens upgrade#
As my prescription is so high (-6.5 in my left eye and -7 in my right) standard lenses would be thicker than the frames so I paid extra to upgrade to ultra thin lenses, and also to add anti-reflection and UV coatings. You can add several styles to a favourites list, which is very handy as there are a lot of frames to choose from! I narrowed my selection down to two styles and finally chose these red/brown frames with a slight 50’s touch. When it came to selecting a pair it was actually quite easy as you can upload a photo of yourself and it shows you what they’d look like! This is very easy to do yourself with a tape measure looking in the mirror.

#Firmoo glasses lens free#
Anyone can have a free eye test at Tesco Opticians without obligation to buy glasses (you can book online) whereas you can expect to pay up to £25 at most opticians unless you qualify for a free NHS test.
When Firmoo contacted me offering a free pair in exchange for a review I wondered how that would work out for someone like me who is very short-sighted, as well as not being able to physically try them on. Just a couple of days after that I got a reminder that my sight test was due, so I booked a free one at my local Tesco Extra and got a print out of my prescription. I had been desperately in need of some new prescription glasses for a couple of years but I’d been putting off buying some because they are so expensive, especially when you need ultra thin lenses.
