A couple of European companies has designed frames for this technology
Companies like Hoya sell glasses.Yuniku | HOYA Vision Care
Yuniku is the first 3D tailored eyewear customized around your facial features, offering ultimate vision and comfort. Express and define yourself with Yuniku.www.hoyavision.com
If this tech is going to work, they expand their business by selling/leasing the scanner, print the frames using 3D printer.
Interesting business case.
Rather, just get only your full face 3D scanned with that scanner from the optician, along with the prescription, as a routine eye checkup and then upload it onto eyeglasses selling websites like Fashion Eyewear, FramesDirect, etc., who will have a full team of designers to make personalised eyewear partnered with top premium eyewear brands manufacturing personalised acetate frames above eye brows (almost all brands will be included😍, as it will be an immense opportunity to scale up their current operations).
The personalised frame should be asymmetrical from the centre of the eye pupils and that which extends above the brow bone, for the cleanest and unobstructive vision from the frame's eye rim when wearing eyeglasses.
So, it won't be just limited to 3D printed eye frames, and there will be plenty of options to choose from, such as selecting eyeframes from different premium brands and lenses.
Eyewear manufacturers will then operate on a direct business-to-customer model in selling personalised eyewear to customers online, if not through exclusive eyewear brand stores.
After the personalised frame has been purchased then the customer visits a lens specialist, like a ZEISS optician, and gets a ZEISS Individual lens fitted as per the frame and face fitting on the ZEISS VISUFIT 1000 Platform and other optical technologies for the clearest and sharpest vision wearing eyeglasses. 🙂
