New facial recognition app allows eyeglass wearers to skip optometrist waiting rooms, find most unique eye wear at best prices
Sep 6, 2018
What began as an effort by a successful, but overbooked businessman to skip the long waits at his local optometrist has morphed into a unique phone app that does the hard work for you...
Contra Costa County, California, United States - September 5, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —
Serial entrepreneur and eyeglass wearer Neil Hubler had a problem shared by many, if not most, overwhelmed business owners: simple tasks such as getting a new pair of glasses or sunglasses were eating up large parts of his day. When Hubler should have been out getting more bids for his thriving construction company, he instead found himself chair bound in his local eye doctor's office, waiting to get fitted with new lenses.
"I wasted so much time. The whole process was frustrating. Even when I finally found a pair of glasses I liked that fit me correctly, I sometimes waited weeks for them to be finished and shipped out. I knew there must be some sort of technology that would speed the process along," he said.
Hubler's solution arrived in the form of facial recognition software being used in several different online retail niches, including the eye wear industry. "There were one or two companies trying facial recognition software as a means of allowing customers to pick, fit, and order their glasses without having to set foot in a brick and mortar store. I thought it was an exciting solution. Unfortunately, all the companies I checked out were using apps that were lacking in terms of functionality and usability, " he explained.
After spending hours reading reviews of facial recognition apps currently on the market, Hubler turned to a leading mobile app developer to investigate the possibility of creating a custom app which more fully exploited the potential of facial recognition software and addressed user concerns as well.
"We created our FrameFit (r) app with ease-of-use, flexibility, and increased functionality in mind. We wanted our mobile app to be the gold standard and to offer exceptional value for both users and vendors," he stated.
Hubler says that he is excited to be creating a mobile app that will be a blessing for busy people everywhere and will allow them to purchase all kinds of eyewear, including safety and industrial glasses, sunglasses, and specialty glasses with ease.
The FrameFit app will allow users to choose from hundreds of styles from top manufacturers as well as truly unique custom designs made by boutique optical companies and artisans. Users will be able to have the glasses fitted to their exact measurements and get an idea of what they'll look like when they put them on.
The FrameFit app is a few weeks away from launch with Hubler anticipating thousands of downloads on launch day. He invites all eyeglass, sunglass, and industrial glasses wearers who want an easier, more efficient, and fun eyewear purchasing experience to get on the waiting list.
"Joining our mailing list will not only allow you to know when the app is ready to download and use, but you'll also get special deals and bonus items available only to those who qualify as FrameFit Ambassadors," He stated.
