What is Topology's Revenue?
Topology's estimated revenue for 2024 is $4.06M.
What does Topology do?
Eyeglasses are one of the most widely used products in the world—more than half of the people on the planet need them—and Topology is going to fundamentally change how eyeglasses and sunglasses are bought, sold, designed, and manufactured, worldwide. We work with optical retailers and e-tailers to deliver an amazing eyewear purchasing experience, both in store and online. With precise 3D scanning, augmented reality (virtual try-on) shopping, and advanced manufacturing, we're going to launch a sluggish industry into the 21st century. We're going to change how they're bought. The current shopping experience is the same experience your grandparents faced, and the result is that most people don't love their glasses, even though they're forced to wear them every day. Sadly, the online experience isn't much better, which is why less than 5% of industry sales are online. We're going to change how they're sold. The industry has been absolutely savaged by COVID-19, and the people taking it hardest are the local eye doctors and opticians. The system of providing eye health in this country does not work if your local eye doctor is totally "disrupted," so our software platform will give them and their staff superpowers to better serve their patients and better keep their practices afloat. We're going to change how glasses are designed and made. Most glasses don't fit most people, because they're designed for the average sized, average shaped, Italian man or woman (literally – the 5 largest frame companies in the world are all located in a tiny village in the Italian alps). We have the technology to finally change that, so that people can come to love the glasses they wear and feel good about themselves every day when they put them on. If you're an innovator, if you never tire of looking at how things "have always been done" and asking why, and if you get excited about shaking up a $120 billion industry, Topology might be the right place for you.

Bad fit!
Reviewed on 2020-08-15T16:14:10
Ok, i finally got my glasses after 7+ weeks but they fit horribly. Constantly sliding down my nose.I spent more than ever before, waited longer than ever before, and it fits worse than any other glasses before.
I wont be using Topography again.

Cute and lovely pair of eyewear
Reviewed on 2019-06-11T20:17:36
I got my new pair about a week ago and not only I but my colleagues in the office love it.It perfectly fits my face. Before topology, I visited so many opticians to buy a new pair and I had to compromise the fitting.
Topology idea is totally new and I know it is little skeptical for new users/customers and it was the same for me too initially but I thought to try as they offer 100% refund in case I do not like it.
I also understood that the company is new with the new idea as well which not one offers, so I as a customer also has to be patient somehow to cooperate with them as I was kind of impatient during the process from the video till the time I got the new pair. Finally, my dream came true when I had new pair.
Negative reviews on late arrival etc.. do not count much as it is the fault of the courier and admin matters do not affect the quality of the pair itself. They made it for me from the scratch and put time to think and figure out how can it fit me the best so I think my little patience and cooperation brought sweat fruit. Why not to wait a little bit as you need to see the world through your eyewear and the world will see you wearing the beautifully fitted eyewear which is made for your face only.
I can see and feel my pair of eyewear is made of not just high level plastic but love as an important ingredient to it.
Farrah has been in touch with me throughout the process in a very professional and helping way and I would mention her here as well
I wish good luck Topology and its team.

Tailor made glasses

I would have given 5 star rating but due to the delay in shipment, I would give it a 4 star so that they can improve better.Overall, I am very satisfied with my eyeglasses. It was evident that the eyeglasses was customized for me as the fit were right. I was nervous before I tried it on because I was afraid it wouldnt fit but I was wrong. One of my fave eyeglasses I have ever worn for sure. My other minor complaint besides the shipment delay was the case that came with it. I’d rather prefer a simple box rather than a triangular “figure it on your own” kind of case. Again, I am very happy with my eyeglasses and I cant wait to order more in the future.

I love my Topology Glasses
Reviewed on 2019-05-03T20:21:08
I love Topology Eyewear. Eric and his team worked with me to custom designed 2 frames for my high diopter script of -21.I need a very small lens frame that not available anywhere. Topology was able to copy my favorite small lens frames that were breaking from age. The level of service and time spend making samples and small changes until the frames were perfect is exceptional. I love having frames that fit my face in the color I want. My new glasses are so light and sturdy, I don't need to push them up my nose very more!
I highly recommend Topology Eyecare to everyone. You won't regret it.

Finally a pair of eyewear that fits my face perfectly!!

My experience with Topology Eyewear was amazing! I just went through a terrible experience trying to get prescription eyewear through a local optician and through Oliver People’s,but every time my glasses would come in the frames would be used/bent, and the lenses were scratched and of terrible quality. To make it worse, the opticians were never able to fit the glasses to my face correctly, and I had to try to adjust the frames myself at home. I was quite nervous to try Topology at first, but I decided to give the app a try and went through the process without any expectations. I used an all white wall for my background for the video and I made sure my hair was not over my ears. I liked having the ability to adjust the size of my frames and choose whatever colors I wanted. I was provided updates through the process and the Topology team even took the time to expedite my order for me since I needed a new pair of glasses due to the problems I experienced elsewhere. I received my new glasses in about three weeks, and I have to admit I was extremely impressed off the bat. The presentation was awesome (they come in a neat little box with a microfiber cloth, unique leather eyewear case, and little bottle for eye lens cleaner). My glasses fit perfect, and I mean perfect right out of the box. I did not have to make any adjustments at all! I cannot believe how they were able to get my measurements so accurate by using AR from the video in the app, it’s honestly hard to believe! The lenses are also crystal clear and I feel as though I can see better than I could in my previous glasses, which had Hoya lenses. In short, I cannot say enough about how much I enjoy my new glasses and how amazing my experience was! Their customer service crew (Farrah, Natalie, and Liz) all provided exceptional service. I am so grateful!

Exceptional quality and customer service

From beginning to end, my experience with Topology has been fantastic. First, the app: it's so cool!Using just your phone, the app makes a detailed map of your face that allows the Topology team to custom craft your frames. Then, you play the waiting game, but they even make the waiting experience a top-notch customer service experience. The customer service team communicated with me regularly to let me know the status of my order. When I questioned the frame color I had chosen just a couple of days after placing my order, the team gave me advice and even sent me color samples to help me choose and revise my order. My frames arrived last week, and they were everything I had hoped they would be. So comfortable from the moment I put them on because they were MADE for my face. I think I'm spoiled now and will probably never be able to go back to non-custom frames!

I have issues with most glasses due to having Asian facial features. Topology worked with me through 3 prototypes and a change in style selection!
Took several weeks so recommend starting ASAP!Even if you don’t have your prescription yet.
Otherwise totally recommend!!
