Like those having eye-related problems with a pair of spectacles, I have also been suffering from being nearsighted since I was very young. So far, it has been troubling me for over 10 years, forcing me to wear the glasses wherever I go, whatever I do. I cannot live and study without them. But several weeks before, I got them lost. You don’t know how sad I was at the time. After that my parents asked me to buy a new one at the Pearle Vision, where I bought my last pair of eyeglasses. But I want to purchase one on the net, for many say that it is convenient, and that you can get what you really want. So I did so.

I logged on to some websites to spot my favorites, but failed. Then I clicked another one, www.Firmoo.com, which lists a variety of eyeglasses for you to choose from. Then I scanned for some time and found one that I liked much. Having known the procedures to make an order, I did as the instructions, being informed that I would get the package within 14 days. After that was done, I started to expect the arrival of the parcel carrying my “beloved” glasses. Fortunately, 12 days later the parcel was delivered to me. How happy I was! I then opened it and saw a pair of fine glasses, the very one I had bought and paid for. In addition to the specs, the package also carried a letter of guarantee, saying the eyeglasses shall be replaced if you are not satisfied, and a free repair kit including fine screws, replacement nose pad and screw driver. I was extremely satisfied to read the words, which, to me, served to dispel my fear of poor quality or bad after-sale service of the products. I smiled with relief.

I have been wearing the glasses for several days, and it really wears comfortably and provides me with a good vision.

It is the first time I bought eyeglasses on line. Originally I just wanted to buy a metal frames, but later I found I could match lenses by, too. After a short while of consideration, I picked index 1.67 ultra-thin lens. The frame plus the lens totaled less than 80 dollars. If you buy it in the traditional optical store, such as LensCrafters or Pearle Vision, only a frame will cost more than 200 dollars. When I receive the package, it looks very professional, and the delivery is through USPS courier service. In addition, the eyeglasses case they sent me for free is very beautiful, and I like it very much. That is what I get beyond my expectation. The original plastic one is out! So I drop it.

Anyway, my first experience of buying glasses on line is satisfactory to me, and I am thinking about buying, if necessary, other things on line from now on.
