Fitz Frames is extracting the incredible convenience of 3D-printed eyewear in its entirety. The company is offering functional glasses for young kids — as early as three years and up. The silhouette takes into consideration the dynamic and often destructive lifestyles of children. As a result, Fitz Frames' product is specifically tailored to fit the wearer's face to perfection.
Each 3D-printed eyewear is affordable and consumers can opt-in for an annual subscription service that allows them "to get as many free replacements as necessary." This comes as especially handy for children who misplace and lose their prescription glasses often.
Ordering the 3D-printed eyewear also proves to be quite easy as Fitz Frames boasts an app that allows children to virtually try on the eight different frames that are offered.
