What’s Firmoo?
Firmoo is an online eyeglasses retailer that was founded in 2009. Similar to Eye Buy Direct and Glasses USA, they sell a variety of eye wear for pretty low prices! They frequently have sales and BOGO free deals too, so that’s pretty great. They ship to several countries such as Canada, UK, Germany, Brazil, Japan, and more! To see the list of the countries they ship to and how long it may take, see their FAQ.
I literally found them through my Instagram feed and the reason why I decided to check them out was because I saw a really neat and unique pair of glasses. Coincidentally, I was actually in need of getting a new pair … or two.
I was a little hesitant because I’ve never shopped for glasses online before and was afraid I’d order something that won’t actually compliment my face or end up fitting my head … I hate going through the hassle of returning things! I’m so relieved they have a pretty detailed dimensions section, although I know from past experience that not all dimensions specifications are always accurate …
Thankfully after receiving the two pairs I bought, I’m happy to say that they’re quite spot on!
So without further ado, here’s my review of the glasses I purchased from Firmoo!
Glasses #1: #S985X – $25.99 USD
Glasses dimensions: lens width: 53 mm, bridge distance: 17 mm, temple length: 140 mm
Colors / Styles available: clear/gold, purple/gold, black/gold, tortoise/gold
I chose black/gold for this style. After plugging in your prescription details, you’re given a few lens options:
- Tint – available in a variety of colors (5-7 days processing time)
- Photochromic (~$40 USD) & Transitions Photochromic (~$120 USD) – designed to darken outdoors and turn clear when indoors. As explained to me, the customer representative explained that the Transitions Photochromic lens darken more than the regular Photochromic ones. Another reason for the big difference in price is the brand name (8-11 days processing time)
- Polarized – reduces glare (8-11 days processing time)
- Blue-Light Blocking – great for people who are on their devices a lot! It filters out blue light from devices, thus reducing eye strain. (6-9 days processing time)
- Clear / None (2 days processing time)
For this pair of glasses, I chose to get the blue-light blocking option. Too bad you can’t add more than one option to them!
My parcel came sooner than I thought, which was a pleasant surprise. It arrived in a small bubble envelope, containing my glasses, the case, a little nifty pouch, a little screwdriver and extra nose pieces, and several cards containing Firmoo discount codes!
I fell in love with this pair. I just love how unique the frame is, looking somewhat cat-eye-like, but also polygonal. The touch of gold beautifully accents the black frames. Furthermore, it’s very light and it feels like I’m not even wearing glasses! Everything about it – from the style to the fitting, was just perfect.
As I mentioned previously, I ordered that these glasses have a blue-light blocking lens. These glasses do give off a very light, almost negligible yellow tint. Some blue-light blocking action was going on in the picture, as you can tell from the small reflection on my glasses.
I’ve worn them for about a week now, and I see absolutely nothing wrong with them. I give them an A+!
Glasses #2: #S947 – $25.99 USD
Glasses dimensions: lens width: 51 mm, bridge distance: 21 mm, temple length: 141 mm
Colors / Styles available: clear/gold, black/gold, pink
For this pair, I chose the Transitions Photochromic lens option. Although there is quite a big difference between the regular photochromic and this one, I decided to go for this, as I wanted the lens to get really dark when I’m outside.
This package arrived earlier as well, which is really awesome. It came in the same kind of packaging as the first one, and had the same stuff in it. The only difference were the frames, which were also super cute.
The glasses looked pretty much identical to the stock pictures you see online.
I’ve used these for a few days and only had a few days of sun to test them out. Despite being out for at least ten minutes, this was as dark as they got. This is my first time getting transition-type lens, so I thought I would notice that they got dark, like as if I switched to regular sunglasses. To my surprise, I found that everything still looked just as clear, only the outside was now darker. I honestly thought they would get darker, but I guess it’s not a big deal. It only makes me wonder how dark the $40 lens would’ve gotten!
Overall, I’d give these an A-. I think the frame is lovely and it’s great that these are photochromic so they block out UV rays. I was given several compliments on these within the few days of wearing it out!
Overall Thoughts
I think these two pairs of glasses are really great and I love how unique they look. The frames themselves were quite cheap too! I felt that both of them were really lightweight yet sturdy, and these were glasses in which I could wear all day and not have a headache.
If you’re looking to get new glasses, I recommend Firmoo! (I will receive a small commission from each order placed by clicking that link to the left 🙈)
Have you ever bought from Firmoo or any other online glasses store before? What are your experience(s) on buying glasses online?

They are super cute frames! I’ve purchased glasses online before and they were perfect with the right prescription I think it’s so cool to have less expensive options for glasses now.

Thank you Erica! This is my first time and since I’ve had a great experience with these I think I’ll be looking to doing more of this in the future. Can’t beat the price!
You look adorable in these glasses!! They’re so cute and stylish and definitely really well priced. LOVE reading your reviews! If I needed some glasses right now I would be splashing out on these babies so much!! Lots of love xx
Aww haha thank you so much m’dear! I’m so glad I found these because they’re so cheap compared to the previous frames I’ve been paying for. Thanks for reading Lav! xx
Both pairs look gorgeous on you. That first pair are so unusual, I just love them and I can see why you bought them. Glad the online shopping experience worked out well for you.
Thank you Marie! It really is unusual, one of my friends outright told me that when he saw me wear them but that’s what makes it a looker!!
I’ve always been hesitant to order glasses online, but after seeing your experience, I might give it a try!! I absolutely love the first pair! 😍 I’m so glad you had a good experience, both pairs are adorable on you!
Ahhh thank you Paula! I really like the first one too 🤩 Definitely do give it a try! There’s size charts and reviews to help make the decision making easier 🙂
I don’t wear glasses, but… the option number 1 is sooooo pretty!!! It suits you so well! I really like the design: it’s original, different and elegant! Really nice!
I’ve never heard of that brand before but I’ll recommend it to people if I hear someone wants to buy new glasses!

Thank you Laura!! I honestly don’t wear my glasses as often as I should but these ones made me want to wear them all the time! I love how quirky looking it is. Thanks for reading lovely xx
You look great with both! I have severe eye problems so I have always bought my glasses from the store my doctor works at, to be sure I’m getting the best option for my dumb eyes, but to be honest I would love to be able to online shop for them… being very shy I always get kinda uncomfortable having to try on glasses in front of someone else 😅😅 lovely review!!
Aww yes I understand, it’s important to make sure you’re able to get those glasses fixed or altered if need be! I also find it uncomfortable with trying glasses in front of others and making faces with it🤣 Thank you for reading Alya!
Ooo I’ve heard of Firmoo before! 😀 They look amazing on you, the first pair are so unique! 😀

Thank you Nat! I was nervous about it but I took the plunge and I don’t regret it! 😀
Hi Geraldine!
Great review! The glasses you chose both look beautiful and you! I’m not surprised you have already received compliments.
I’ve never ordered glasses from Firmoo before but I’ll definitely look into them next time I do. I have ordered from other online glasses shops and my experiences have always been very good too, including surprisingly fast shipping.
I’ve never tried reactions lenses before and it’s a shame about the lack of darkness but like you say, it’s by no means a deal breaker as they’re still a great pair of glasses!
Can I also just say how much I adore that pink Hello Kitty pyjama top, it’s adorably cute and looks cosy too!
Lovely post 🙂

Thank you very much Hanna! Yes this arrived pretty quickly so I was very happy with it. I’m glad you have had similar experiences with online glasses retailers!
The transition ones just weren’t what I expected but I’ve never had them before so at least now I know! I love my Hello Kitty PJ’s!! They are so soft and indeed cozy 😍😊 Thank you for visiting lovely xx
Have to say I’m loving the new look blog design too! x

I’m so glad you like it! The day’s worth of work was worth it then! 🙂
This sounds like such an interesting concept which I definitely will look into, I’ve been wearing glasses full time for many years now and I get so sick of the same glasses. So might get myself a few new pairs (because I wanna look cool not because I seem to break mine easily). You look awesome in the different pairs and it bet it’s great to have a variety of styles. Do you feel like the tints are worth getting? If so which one was your favourite?

Hi Alex! Thank you for reading! I do get sick of the same style frames as well that’s why I absolutely loved these. I personally like the hexagonal frames better! I stare at the computer screen much more than I am outside (I think) so I feel it’s so much more beneficial to me. The tints block UV rays but it doesn’t act like real sunglasses so it was a little disappointing to me so for MY circumstance I consider the blue light blocking lens coating to be better! I hope you find something you like there if you do consider getting glasses in the near future 😊
WAIIITTTT?!! So did you have to submit a prescription approved from your eye doctor or did you just enter the details? These are so nice. I wear contacts mostly but these are so stylish that I actually wouldn’t mind wearing glasses!
Oh yeah I had to enter prescription details 🙂 Thank you, I love the look! I’ve never worn contacts before tbh haha but this is the next best thing 😁
