Nowadays, there are many websites providing Virtual Try-on systems allowing you to choose, to try on and to purchase lenses online. It was a pleasant surprise for me to learn of this Virtual Try-on system. Before I know such a system, I usually need to go to a local glasses store to choose a pair of suitable lenses by trying on several pairs of glasses. Then I will choose to purchase the same lenses online because it is much cheaper than its full price. Now it is much more convenient to buy glasses online. Let me share with you the experience of trying on lenses online.
First you should find a websites that provide Virtual Try-on service. For example, I visit the Firmoo's website, Firmoo.com, which is introduced by a friend of mine. If you are the first time to use this system, it is recommended that you spend one minute creating an account which will allow you to upload photos of yourself and shop faster online.
The following simple four steps allow you to try on glasses online conveniently.
The first step is to choose a photo for you to try on glasses. You can upload your own photos from your local disk or you can get your photos from your webcam. The photos you used to try on glasses online should be similar with your certificate photo. Besides, you can also choose female or male models' photo provide by the websites.
The second step is to select a pair of glasses from the Select Style column. You can use the drop down combo box to narrow your search. For example, you can select your gender, and there are four choice, women, man, unisex and kids. You can select frame size of small, middle and large. You can select frame styles such as full rim, semi-rimless and rimless. You can limit the materials of glasses to one of the following: plastic, metal, titanium and flexible. There are five glasses styles for you choose form, including classic style, fashion style, retro style, style and clip-ons style. Firmoo.com also provides you several price ranges from under to over . After you set up the search condition, you just need to click the button of Search.
The third step is to choose a pair of glasses in the column of Frame List all of which are in accordance with your search condition. Just click the picture of glasses that you like, you will find that the glasses you chosen have been on your photo.
The last step you should do is to adjust your photo to a suitable size (using the zoom in and zoom out tools just beside your photo) and position (moving your photo using the left mouse button) to see if the glasses are suitable for you. It is better for you to know your interpupillary distance before you try on glasses online so that you can adjust your photo to the size of you face using the approximately measure tool.
Help yourself repeating the four steps described above until you find a pair of glasses that you favor most.
