Well. I guess if you're buying this pair (or any pair online, really), you need to be really careful about the frame width. My current pair of glasses is 50-16-135 while this one is 51-18-145, so I figured they'd fit alright and if they slipped off my face I could go to get the screws adjusted. I didn't pay much attention to the total frame width, which is a great deal bigger than my current pair (about 1.4cm). So I only realised that they might actually be too big for me after I bought them. They're so pretty though, I decided to keep the order and try them on and refund them if it didn't go well. Problem is, due to coronavirus, my shipping was delayed for nearly a month. Obviously this is beyond the reach of Firmoo and, to their credit, they seemed to be doing their best to mitigate the issue for their customers. They gave me some discount codes, refunded my shipping, and I got a really pretty case for my glasses. So I won't diss them for that - they've been wonderful throughout the process. But when I eventually got the pair, I found out they were far, far too big for my face. They look ridiculous, and because my eye is so far from the centre my vision actually isn't that much better. Lots of chromatic aberration. I have now been waiting 25 days for these glasses to arrive, so this has been extremely disappointing. This is partially my fault for being so dead set on these glasses. But I do wish I had some more warning about how much of a deal total frame width is when buying glasses, etc. Or maybe if the frame try-on didn't scale the glasses to fit your face, so you could see how they might *actually* look on you. If this had happened, I would've gotten a pair of glasses that actually fits me well ages ago, and I wouldn't still be stuck with this crappy ancient prescription. To their credit, Firmoo is probably the only company where I feel bad asking for a refund, which I will probably end up doing. Customer service throughout this has been wonderful - they responded to my queries fast and were helpful and kind. Shoutout to Allison who helped me with my many, many questions I had throughout the process. The glasses themselves seem to be pretty good quality, better than I expected for this price range really. The anti-reflective coating seems to have helped a lot with glare from windows. Seriously, if only they fit me, I would have no complaints, hence the 4-star review as opposed to 3-or-less. Just a shame all the other glasses in local stores are either a) too big or b) too expensive or c) ugly kid's glasses. :(

Overall, these frames are nice looking and sturdy as always. However, the tortoise shell pattern is only on the inside of my frames, while the outside of the frames is completely black. I was pretty disappointed with this, and would probably suggest that people buying this get the lighter tortoise shell if that's what they're going for.
