I also realized that since I finally have FSA, I could buy both glasses and contacts this year—woohoo! It's been at least eight years since I last got new glasses.
Before I could make it to my eye appointment, I had a walk-in visit at the local clinic where I was informed that I had pink eye. What? I thought that was just for kids.
Two weeks of wearing just eight year old glasses since contacts were a no-no made me quickly aware that perhaps I should update my prescription a little more often.
I finally had my eye exam, then took my prescription to a well-known "discount" chain that claims you can get 2 pairs of glasses for $69. I picked my frames, handed the lady my prescription, and... up and walked out of the place when she said my total was over $350. Or, $275 for just one pair. Hahaha. No.
I remembered how we used Firmoo for Sean's prescription sunglasses last year, and while I prefer to try glasses on in person, I could see that if I wanted a price short of highway robbery, I would need to give them a try for my prescription glasses as well.
Between their online "try on" feature and comparing the provided measurements online with my most recent frames, I finally chose a pair and clicked "purchase." I returned from vacation to a shiny new pair of glasses on my desk...with a hard case, soft case, cleansing cloth, and repair kit....all for under $100 ($61.80, to be exact in my case).
Would I do it again? Yep. And I probably will. I know it can be daunting, so to make your first Firmoo experience easier, they are letting one winner select a pair of glasses for free! Take a look at your options, and enter below!

ReplyDeleteI would choose DBSN62166
ReplyDeleteGood to know. I usually go to that place with the "2 pairs for $69," and with my insurance, I get one pair of glasses for $100. I'll have to check out Firmoo. I like #W-821 in Purple.
ReplyDeleteI'd pick these ones: http://www.firmoo.com/eyeglasses-p-2834.html After losing my pair of glasses 4 years ago I haven't gotten new ones either because they are so expensive & i have no eye insurance but I really need them, i'm so blind! :)
ReplyDeleteI would go with http://www.firmoo.com/eyeglasses-p-2713.html- I am so blind with my current prescription with all the computer work I do!
ReplyDeleteThis is hard...I really like DBSN62177 but I don't think they would go with my face shape. I would probably go with DBSN65069 or DBSN65096.
