Someone once said “men don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses.” To which we say: what the hell do they know.

When you’re spotted in a pair of frames by Indivijual Custom Eyewear, you’ll probably be adored, propositioned, and asked directions by the locals.  The new Texas-based company, is the first eyewear manufacturer in the world to make custom-made eyeglasses for you. So instead of donning the latest trend du jour like everyone else – 80s wayfarers, we’re looking at you – you’ll be wearing something as unique as your thumbprint.

At Indivijual, they give you the best fit possible by taking at least nine facial photos, measuring temple and eye width, and making a clay mould of your nose.  There’s also a questionnaire about your personality and tastes.  They take into account your hair, skin and eye color, so you won’t be sent out into the world wearing Kanye shades when you’re more of a Lady Gaga

Randy Barnett, CEO of Indivijual, was inspired to make custom eyewear after noticing that glasses are designed for either a square or round face, while most faces are shaped somewhere in between.  He also saw that the fit left something to be desired.  Mass-produced frames are made in small, medium and large, while the average person isn’t quite one or the other.

The glasses take about six weeks and cost $595.  Not cheap, but also about what you’d pay for some designer specs.  But with Indivijual, if you’re ever asked “who are you wearing?” you can simply answer, “Me.”
