Custom Made Eyewear

     Copyright (c) 2014 Paul Sheals



Custom or bespoke eyewear is a relatively new concept. At average prices that start out at over $500 just for an eye-frame without lenses, custom eyewear is much more expensive than standard off the shelf prescription frames. This is because the manufacturing of custom eyewear is a very time-consuming business that adds many costs for each individual customized frame.



For example, the need to obtain customers' facial and head measurements is an extra task for opticians or resellers during the custom eyewear design process. Similarly, making custom eyewear moulds adds to the material and time costs. In addition, any mistakes at any stage during the process can prove to be expensive and can require re-calibration of the moulds and measurements.



Currently, makers of custom eyewear tend to rely on a network of opticians or resellers who are responsible for measuring for custom fit glasses and sunglasses in order to sell the manufacturers bespoke or custom products. The optician then transmits this customer information to the manufacturer who fashions a unique frame for the customer in their dedicated workshop. Technology can also be used to facilitate the process Buy Cheap Handbag - Handbag Heaven.



For example, some manufacturers use proprietary Web-based systems to enable information to flow from their network of opticians or resellers to their factories.



This enables their eyewear designers to rapidly develop an exact frame blueprint and to prepare a Schedule of Materials, which can lead to a reduced lead-time for their frames. Frames undergo multiple manufacturing processes and interventions and are generally ready to be sent to customers in 4 to 5 weeks following the date of the original order.
