I’ve been wearing glasses and contact lenses for I’ve been wearing glasses and contact lenses for 17 years, yet I can probably count on my one hand how many pairs of glasses i actually had. It’s always something I’ve put off because it’s just so expensive (and the kids depleting our medical aid savings lol) and so I’ve mostly wear contact lenses and wear glasses in the evening. So happy to have come across @falcomilano.sa where eyewear is affordable and stylish. I can get a few different pairs at a fraction of the cost and I can chop and change pairs to suit my outfits ☺️ I also love that I can get my Glasses in an Hour , such a seamless process and so convenient! What do you think of my new glasses ? *Falco Milano is an eyewear provider and not an optometrist. #FalcoMilano, #MVisionWithoutLimits, #stylemefast
