I was pleased to be contacted by Firmoo, an online optical store of prescription eyeglasses and prescription sunglasses, who generously offered a free pair of glasses or sunnies for me as well as for you (two of you, actually!) (giveway details below!). I alternate between glasses and contact lenses -- I used to wear only contact lenses but my doctor warned me against wearing them for more than 8 hours daily, and told me to have a contacts-free day every week. I own a cheap pair which I bough, fully expecting them not to survive my trip to Bolivia (they did), but I jumped at the opportunity of getting a more stylish pair!
Firmoo has quite a big selection of frames! Picking out a pair of glasses can be hard, fortunately I had a rough idea of what I wanted -- rectangular frames, since my face is a roundish-oval. The glasses I already own helped to serve as a guide of the width that I needed. I found the Firmoo site is pretty easy to use, I especially liked the option of searching by PD. I mostly used the Virtual Try-On where you can upload your photo and see how the glasses look on you, and I liked the way you can compare three pairs of eyewear side-by-side. Even though eyewear in Germany is way cheaper than in the US, I found Firmoo eyewear prices even more affordable. My only complaint is that while some glasses have several photos from different angles, others do not. Also, a slightly bigger selection of rimless glasses would be great! I would have like those but I didn´t find a style that I liked. I chose these, and I can´t wait for them to arrive!
