For your eyes only #eyewear #3dprinting

From Ghandi to Gok Wan, Dame Edna to Lady Gaga, and Bono to Buddy Holly; glasses are an essential part of our identity. Now, 3D printing is giving people the chance to really express themselves through their facial furniture. (Tx for the insight Lynda R-K.)

The Asian Ergonomic Lab is now running a bespoke course for designers, artists and anyone interested in improving their eyesight as much as their image. Designs can be uploaded and sold onto 3D printing companies like Shape Ways and Colors of Birch.

The course takes place over 3 days in December at the Zaha Hadid Innovation Tower in Hong Kong (should you be passing) and tells you all you need to know about how to put stars on your eyes.
