As the summer comes, I feel very inconvenient because my work require me stay in the open air most of a day, but the sunlight are harsh. My eyes are easily to get sore. Therefore, I need to a pair of sunglasses to protect my eyes from sunlight. However, I am very poor in eyesight, so I can not wear sunglasses and eyeglasses at the same time. I have to buy a pair of clip on sunglasses. Clip on sunglasses, as the name suggests are two pieces of colored lenses which can be clipped on ordinary prescription eyeglasses, especially designed for people who want to wear sunglasses while they have to wear a pair of prescription eyeglasses.
One day, I went to an optical store in the mall to buy clip on sunglasses. When I saw the price of lens, I was shocked. Just a pair of ordinary clip on sunglasses will cost more than $90. After a short while of consideration, I decided to try to find a suitable pair of clip-on on the Internet,I think there are many cheap prescription glasses. But I had never do it before, so I felt a little worried about the quality of glasses bought on net and I wondered whether it is a trap which would give me something fake. After browsing a lot of websites for quite a long time, I picked a website which sold different kinds of eyeglasses including frames as well as clip-ons, and most importantly, it has a very high evaluation by customers who have bought things from the online shop. I thought since so many people trust the seller and give it good reviews, the quality can be well guaranteed. The website is www.Firmoo.com.
One thing to mention is that above online optical store doesn’t sell the clip-on separately. So I have to buy my prescription glasses and the clip-on, I only pay $31 for the whole set! It is amazing! Twelve days later, I received the eyeglasses plus clip-on I ordered. I checked the package. It is just the same as the one the seller described and displayed. When I tried them on, I felt very good. I am very satisfied to buy such a pair of qualified clip on with reasonable price. Two days later, I bought $20 eyeglass frames for my friend from the same website. Now I can wear my sunglasses when I go to work. I feel so good to see everything clearly without my eyes getting sore.

Besides eyeglasses for regular wear, there are still various types of specialty eyewear or “task-specific” eyeglasses. Since one pair of eyeglasses does not fit all sizes in most cases, those specialty eyeglasses such as computer glasses, driving eyeglasses and protective glasses are helpful in specific circumstances.
Computer glasses are particularly for long period or regular computer work. People wearing ordinary glasses develop computer vision syndrome symptoms such as eye strain and headache easily. Computer glasses are designed exclusively for intermediate vision during computer work, providing the best vision correction.
Some people may need special glasses for certain jobs or hobbies. For instance, ordinary bifocal glasses require wearers to look down trough the bottom part of the lenses to get close vision. For people who spend all day long on close reading, neck discomfort will surely occur. In this case, special-design bifocal and trifocal glasses named occupational bifocals and trifocals are needed. In addition, a separate pair of reading glasses is necessary for close-up work such as beading, needlepoint, crafting and so on.
Most sports require good visual acuity for satisfying performance, such as tennis ball, golfing and skiing. Sport-specific glasses can both enhance performance and provide necessary eye protection. This type of specialty eyewear is often made of polycarbonate lenses, including skiing goggles, shooting glasses, swimming goggles and so on.
Glare reflecting off the road or the car’s windshield can be the cause of an accident because the driver failed to see the other car or a pedestrian. Driving glasses including driving sunglasses and prescription glasses are needed to minimize the risk of accidents. Sunglasses for driving feature polarized lenses and prescription glasses for driving always have anti-reflective coating, which also aim at reducing glare.
People may also need safety eyewear to ensure their eye safety in dangerous situations. Safety eyeglasses including sports goggles and shooting glasses usually feature ultra-durability, a wraparound design, top and side shields. Some people may still like specialty eyewear just for fun and fashion.

I am an American and my name is Tom Lee, a sixteen year old boy. Last week I, together with my parents and my sister came to China for sightseeing. This was my first time to visit the country with a very long history. So everything was new and fresh to me there, and my family bought some traditional Chinese craftworks for memento. What amazed me most was that I found Chinese people also buy things online just like we do. And more interestingly, I bought a pair of clip-on sunglasses in China on Internet as well.
During the week-long tour in China, we visited some big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an and Chongqing. And my last visit is Chongqing, which is well known in China as “Mountain City”, which is also called one of the “three stoves”, the other two being Nanjing in Jiangsu and Wuhan in Hubei, because of the hot weather in summer. It was hot and I could not stand it, so I decided to get a pair of sunglasses. However, in light that I was shortsighted and had to wear a pair of prescription eyeglasses, I had to buy clip on sunglasses. I came to some shops, but none met my needs. Then it occurred to me that I could purchase one on the Net, which is convenient. Surfing several websites I spotted one site, Aidai.com, which is pretty much like the website www.Firmoo.com I once used when I was at home. This Chinese website provides a variety of clip on sunglasses. I consulted the dealer about the delivery, and he said it would be reached to me within 1 day, for the company is located in Chongqing. So comparing the price, size and quality introductions I made an order.
Like others I also feared at first that I would be cheated, as in China there exist lots of “fake” products and frauds. But what happen later proved that my worry was groundless and unnecessary, the next morning I did receive the package. I opened it and found the glasses I had ordered a day ago, together with a letter of quality guarantee, which read the glasses can be replaced within 7 days if not satisfied. I was really pleased with it. At this moment I thought of the oft-quoted saying that, “Honesty is the best policy.” without which a company will be short of clients and customers, finally leading to its closedown.
My recent travel to China is indeed different and particular, for I saw and experienced a lot during my stay in the country. I will come back to China again some day.

My wife is a charming, individually dependant, and easy-going woman. I am proud of marrying her. We always give each other enough space to enjoy the private time and rarely intervene into the other’s life. But recently she is crazy in shopping on the Internet. And she always tells me the advantages of shopping online. In my opinion, one of the greatest advantages to me is I don’t need to accompany her to stroll up down the street but without anything buying. For some items, it is really worthy, as they are in high quality as sold in other stores, but at lower price. But for some, I have to say they are not good at all, especially for some clothes. It is totally different from the picture shown on the Internet. She is also angry when she receives the goods. But one thing I can not understand is she has the same crazy as before. Oh my God! I consider she has a mania for shopping on the Internet.
One of the ridiculous thing is she told me that she just placed an order on a pair of glasses from an Internet shop. “Are you crazy now?” If she just buys some daily necessities, I can understand her a little. But spectacles, we all know, are critical to our eyes’ health. On the Internet, you cannot distinguish if it is real or fake. I argued with her “I don’t blame you on buying some unsuitable goods on the Internet, anyway, it may not be good, but it can be used and not have a bad effect on our health. But glasses, they must be certified and tested, or else, they will harm to our eyes. You know?” She knew I was really angry this time. She comforted me with a kiss “Honey, you know what, this Internet shop is very good and reliable, some of my good friends all buy prescription eyewear and sunglasses from there. And several days ago, I saw Lucy’s newly bought glasses. Oh, it is perfect. I like it. And I also need to change a new pair. Don’t worry, there are Tips for online eyeglasses purchase, I am sure you will like it when I get it.”
Although I am still not content with this, she already bought it and any words I say will not work. About 2 weeks later, my wife put a pair of fashionable pair of glasses in front of me with great joy. After carefully checking it, I found it was not as bad as I thought. She said it was very comfortable to wear and wore it to go everywhere. Several months later, I also need to change glasses. To her joy, I also went to www.Firmoo.com to choose a pair that I love at the first sight. It is also great. From this, I think my false opinion on Internet shopping has to be changed. This successful shopping online changed my opinions on Internet shopping.
