Topology Eyewear

What kind of eyewear are you wearing? If you’re like most, they’re probably mass-produced stock frames, meaning they’re right off the shelf and made in an attempt to be “one size fits all.” While most of us have gotten used to having to compromise when it comes to eyewear,“ good enough” isn’t something we should aim for when it comes to something as important as eyewear.  Stock eyewear typically does the bare minimum to help you see and look somewhat decent if you’re lucky enough to have a face close to the “average” one that stock frames are modeled after. But what if you have smaller features and need small frame glasses ? You could shop in the kids’ section, or you could invest in your style and sight with custom-tailored eyewear made specifically for your face. Here are a couple of reasons why investing in your eyewear is a worthy investment in your style. They Live on Your Face All Day Every Day Think about how good it feels to rock a bespoke suit made t...

How do you approach buying prescription eyewear? Do you see them purely as a tool to help you see clearly and avoid bumping into things, or are they a defining accessory on your face? Either way, your glasses are on your face all day every day so it’s important that you like them. If you’re like most people, you probably only have one pair of prescription glasses and maybe one pair of prescription sunglasses. Prescription eyewear can be expensive, so when you buy a new pair, the priorities are often mixed between functionality, versatility, and style. Typically, you want something you can wear all day, every day. On the other hand, there's an argument to be made for owning multiple pairs of prescription eyewear for specific occasions, looks, and vibes. Plus, it’s always good to have a spare. Here are a few reasons to approach your next prescription eyewear purchase as a fashion accessory as well as a functioning vision tool. Prescription Eyewear That Highlights...

When you buy one-size-fits-all stock eyewear off the shelf, if you’re like most, you’re often stuck choosing between style, fit, and comfort. But what if all three of these factors could coexist seamlessly on your face, helping you see better and feel comfortable throughout the day while looking effortlessly stylish doing it? It’s possible if you opt for custom-tailored eyewear, which will be made to fit both your individual face and your personality. As you’re designing your new glasses, here are a few tips to help you get the best fit, and ultimately, the best style of frames for your face, personality, and style.   What Are Your Features?     Everyone's face is different, and although stock glasses manufacturers assume that only slight variations in design can accommodate these differences, they can't. Whether you have pronounced cheekbones, narrow-set eyes, a petite nose, or other attributes, you'll find that you might have to compromise on eit...

Consider how long your glasses spend on your face. If you put them on when you wake up and take them off when you go to bed, that adds up to a good amount of hours a day, let alone per year. With something that spends so long on your face, why would you settle for eyewear that doesn’t fit 100%? The truth is, if you’re like many people, your glasses don’t fit, and you might not even realize it. In a world where one-size-fits-all stock eyewear off the shelf is the standard, most of us have gotten used to making compromises on fit and style because we didn’t know there was a better way. So, does your eyewear fit or not? Here are a few ways to tell and what you can do to fix it.  You Can’t Pass the Shake Test Have you ever tried the shake test on your glasses? Basically, look down and shake your head back and forth. If your eyewear stays put, then they aren't too loose (although they could still be too tight), but if they immediately fall off, then that’s one a...

For years, buying eyewear has been the same: You go to an eyewear store, browse the frames they have, find ones that look close enough to what you’re looking for, and then have your glasses fitted all while making style and fit compromises along the way. Many people think that this is the only way to buy eyewear, but stock frames come with a load of drawbacks when compared to custom-tailored eyewear and other variants. Let’s take a closer look at the ugly truths about stock eyewear and how you can avoid compromising on your next pair. Not Every Face Is the Same The first and most obvious problem with stock eyewear is that they’re made for one imaginary “average” face. Stock frames are premade, mass-produced, and strive to be one-size-fits-all—but everyone has unique facial features that stock frames just can't match. Pinching? Red marks on the nose? Slipping? People across the world experience these issues and assume they are a part of the glasses wearing experie...

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 brid...
