How Custom-Tailored Eyewear Can Help You See Better
Your glasses serve two distinct purposes. First, they help you see the world around you. Well, at least they should, but unfortunately many stock glasses—the frames you see on the shelves that are premade and ready for purchase—don’t fit you optimally. This means you’re not looking through your lenses at the best angle, the one intended by your eye doctor, to have vision as clear as your prescription allows.
Second, your glasses are a fashion accessory for your face that show off your unique personality to the world. Today, there are thousands of different frames available in stores ready for you to pick off the shelf.
But what if we told you these stock frames were outdated and there was a better solution available right at your fingertips?
The Problems with Stock Glasses
Stock glasses have many problems. The most significant problem is that they are designed as one-size-fits-all. In reality, your face has tons of small, unique features, from your nose bridge to your ear placement and even eye width. But stock glasses are made by the thousands and don’t take your personal glasses measurements into account, so consumers—yourself included—have come to settle for less-than-perfect frames made to fit the “average” face.
When you think of “custom-tailored eyewear,” you might be concerned that the process will be complicated, require tons of effort and office visits, or that they’re only for celebrities who can afford and want the perfect look. In reality, wearing custom-fit glasses will do wonders for your vision and are more accessible than ever before.
Better Fit
Many people find that no matter how many stock glasses they try off of the shelf, they just don’t look or feel right on their face. While you might think your face shape or size is to blame, the reality is that everyone’s face is different, and the “average” face that stock glasses are made for may simply not exist. After all, one-size-fits-all might not be the best approach for something with as many unique measurements as a face.
Fortunately, with custom-tailored eyewear, you no longer have to live with frames that don’t fit and aren’t made specifically for your face. Custom-fit glasses are designed from the ground up for you and only you, for a better fit and clearer vision. So, whether you need glasses for small faces or want bigger glasses, you can design a custom pair that perfectly fit your face.
See How You Are Meant to See
Did you know that for the entire period you’ve worn glasses, you might not have seen as clearly as your prescription intended? That’s because the position of your lenses dramatically impacts the effectiveness of your prescription. While places that sell stock frames will make minor adjustments get your focal points “close enough,” as long as you have a well-trained eye doctor and a recent prescription, the real problem starts and ends with stock frames.
With custom-fit glasses, you can adjust the tilt angle of the lenses, the width of the frames, the pupillary distance, and more for a precise fit that helps you get the most out of your prescription. By working with a custom glasses manufacturer with experience in engineering eyewear that takes individual’s unique glasses measurements into account, you’ll get custom-fit eyewear that sits—and stays—where it’s supposed to so you’ll see as well as your prescription intended.
Designing Custom-Fit Glasses at Home
Luckily, you don’t need to go to a specialist’s office to design your custom-fit frames. The best custom-fit eyewear manufacturers, like Topology, will offer an intuitive app to scan your face with powerful algorithms that will automatically take your glasses measurements without you having to break out the measuring tape. From there, you can virtually create and try on custom glasses and make adjustments for fit and aesthetic purposes directly through the app. Topology will even send you a risk-free prototype so you can test out your custom-fit frames before purchasing. They’re confident that once you receive your custom-fit glasses and try them on that you’ll immediately wonder how you went so long with stock glasses as you’ll see the world more clearly—and your glasses will fit perfectly—for the first time.
