We've combined the convenience and safety of online shopping with the professional guidance and precise optical measurements of the in-store experience. This is Topology's Touchless Optical Platform. Our groundbreaking process begins with an incredibly accurate 3D scan of your face, made possible by the amazing FaceID sensor. Once your scan is securely uploaded, you’ll be able to virtually try on all of the frames that fit your face. Our algorithms extract all your facial measurements, compare them against a growing database of branded eyewear products, and return the subset that are perfectly-tailored to you. After you complete your scan, you can browse these frames directly on your iPhone. Topology also uses your 3D scan to measure, with amazing precision, all necessary 3D optical measurements, enabling the delivery of even the most complicated and sophisticated of Rx lenses directly to your door. For the first time, vision needs such as a strong Rx, high astigmatism, and/or progressive lenses are dispensed with unrivaled clarity.
