User Reviews for Topology Eyewear

Excited about this app!

I will gladly pay a 3.5x price point over Warby Parker to try this company, which offers a customized fit, user customization of fit and style, a UI that works and is responsive, and better materials. UI feedback:1) I want my width / height / drop user customizations to be frame-specific; why make my choices stick across frames?2) Great favorites feature — but making existing favorites editable, so that I can tweak my customizations is a must-have. Please add this!3) I get that facial images on a horizontal plane are necessary to detect landmarks and customize fit, but when I see renderings, I want to see them at more angles. Can you make the “try it on” screen use my camera (see Warby Parker app), or else make the initial video collection phase ask for “now look around or up and down to capture more angles of your face” so we can see glasses not just on a left-right axis of our faces? This would be nice to have.

pretty slick app

I haven’t actually bought glasses using the app, but the way the app let you preview glasses on your face is pretty neat, because your can swipe your virtual head left and right and the virtual glasses follow accurately. It really looks like you are wearing them. It works far better than the websites where you upload a selfie and it superimposes the glasses on you. It also has a neat feature where you can adjust them wider/narrower and taller/shorter. The suggested width and height looked dead on for me; it’s good to try the extremes because you can see what will look clownish so you know what to avoid (sometimes you need to see some really horrible ones to feel better about the ones you can’t decide between). Hopefully they can add more frame styles in the future, but this does give you a pretty decent idea of what looks good or not.

Highly recommended

While standard eyeglasses generally fit me well, I was interested in trying Topology glasses. I am very happy that I did! The glasses fit well and look equal or better than other luxury eyeglasses that I’ve tried on or owned. You are getting that quality (e.g., Italian Acetate) for less money, at least compared to other glasses I had been looking at. The custom fitting and design is a bonus. This is why I would recommend Topology.As far as process, I was pretty pleased. It was unclear to me how perfect your face scan needed to be, and so I rescanned three times to ensure it was a good scan. I positioned my phone and arms on a counter and kneeled to minimize movement during the scan - I think this worked well. As far as frames and colors, the rendering gives you some perspective, but the photographs were really helpful in understanding the actual design details and true colors of the frames. From the time I ordered to receiving my glasses, it took 13 days.If I have any critiques, it is that they have a limited number of frame choices at this point. That said, there still is a good amount of variety, and the multitude of color choices greatly help. Ultimately, I am very pleased with my choice because the color I selected helped compensate for some some frame design details I was unsure of.Hope this is helpful to those looking for a new pair of high-end glasses!

Color and wide corridor

Here is what the app or website doesn’t do. It does not allow you to browse frame color. The app and site preselects colors for you taking away your choice of color and personal preference. For example I had a pair of clear frames which I received many compliments on. The option for clear won’t come up in my profile as a choice selection. There is also no information or choice regarding a narrow, average or wide viewing corridor for a progressive. You cannot access this information on the website and you can’t even look at the frames and color without the app. So they get all your information. My background color was green so the app picked up that color and made choices based on they color. I don’t have a white wall to use this app. Hope this helps everyone. If a narrow corridor works for you then great. But a narrow corridor gives me neck back and shoulder pain for all the compensation I have to do to accommodate them type of glasses.

Not impressed

After multiple tries, I couldn’t get the app to take the selfie for virtual try on with my face square so no matter how they scaled the eyewear, I couldn’t tell if it fit. The problem is I’m not wearing my glasses so I can’t see where the face circle is. I see like 5 of them so I have no idea if I’m facing forward and my head is straight or not. It turns out I’m absolutely not. It needs to do some better preprocessing to pick the forward facing headshot or it needs to make the target circle much larger. I’m using an iPhone 8 Plus so there’s room. Regardless, there wasn’t much customization you could really do. There was no way to make the frame less chunky. The Sansone frame looks fine full size but on me it’s a big wad. It doesn’t look like the frame edge thickness is shrunk proportional for a smaller face. Plus the color choices were very limited (12 for stainless frames) and all looked hideous. I had such hopes. I tried live chat through the app for advice but no one was there.

Control freak!!

If you're a control freak like me, you'll love Topology eyewear. I had a fun time designing my own glasses. I had over $500 left in my flex health spending account so I wanted a high quality pair of frames. Topology fell in to my lap as a Instagram add and their platform caught my eye. I downloaded the app and designed my frames. It was super fun and coming from San Francisco, I knew the glasses were going to be high quality. The whole process was fun and not a headache like going to a store and trying on a plethora of germy frames only to choose something that's sorta okay. You design the frames to a 3-D model of your own face, Id wish I had more on my flex health card, I'd love to design 5 more pairs. The best part is how light weight the frames are. I now don't get pressure headaches anymore, like I did with my $99 frames because they are so heavy. You get what you pay for and my Topology glasses are high quality.

Inconclusive

Great concept but I am unsure about the end result because I could never get the selfie to upload. The app appeared to freeze up and displayed the message "Uploading Face Scan". It may have been a bandwidth issue on my end or it could just take awhile to transmit the amount of granular 3D data that a face scan captures. Either way it tested my patience and was frustrating. One more thing that also bothered me is the lack of a very prominent disclosure of what is done to protect the face scans, who technically owns the data once it resides on either the company's servers or cloud provider, and how that data can be removed. Given the recent misuse and abuse of sensitive data that has come to light by tech firms and the less-than-scrupulous use of that data, I would like to have a very clear explanation of the policies as they relate to the most sensitive and identifying piece of information that any person can give up. Frankly, I am quite reticent to entrust such data to a company that could decide to sell such data if they run into a cash crunch or as an ancillary source of revenue, and I would like a clear airing of what the policies are, the recent California data privacy law notwithstanding. If it were not for the complete lack of variety from the prescription eyewear industry as regards the size of frames, the potential privacy issues would have completely dissuaded me from trying this

Read this.

I want to start by saying that I highly recommend this app. I found this company online because I typed into Google “I don’t like how I look in glasses.” And this company popped up. When I read that they had an app that would let me virtually try them on, I figured it wouldn’t work well. So I went to the App Store and read the reviews. I was worried about some of the negative ones but downloaded it anyway. I have to say- I can’t understand how anyone would leave one bad review. It’s clearly user error if you can’t get the selfie part to work, which is no reason to leave a negative review. And the other negative review I read wasn’t even about the app itself. I’m very impressed and was happy to be given so many neat options. Thank you for creating this :)

Now getting my second pair!

Topology is the one and ONLY place I have been able to fit my odd sized face and head. I have been to hundreds of local places and tried all the “we’ll send you frames in the mail” places and ONLY Topology has been able to get me glasses that fit my face. We went through FIVE mockup versions because of my long eyelashes and other adjustments. When I was happy with the fifth mockup they made the final pair and sent it to me. After doing a normal adjustment around the ears I had the perfect fitting frame, made just for me. Now, a year and a half later I am looking for a slightly different style and I will use my HSA to buy a new pair of Topology frames.

Good concept, but . . .

On paper, this is a good idea. But in practice, it’s terrible. In order for the app to work, the user must fully extend their arms, while keeping the phone steady and vertically straight at the same time. Only then will the app allow you to start the process. Then you must slowly turn your head side to side so that the camera can scan the shape of your face. I found this impossible to accomplish since you will never get past the first step because your arm will never be still. Momentarily you will be able to find the perfect fit, but because your arms are fully extended, the slight movement they make, or the motion you make when you try to go and press the “start” button, will throw the camera off-balance and make the process restart once again. It’s incredibly frustrating and it failed. As a solution, I used a mere ruler and the selfie camera on my phone for better, quicker, and easier results.
