What if one pair of glasses could become many?
Title: Would you buy modular eyewear? Looking for honest feedback.
Hi everyone,
I'm an automotive engineer and product designer currently exploring a new eyewear concept, and I'd love to get some honest feedback from people who actually wear and enjoy glasses.
The idea is modular eyewear—instead of replacing your entire frame, you could:
\- Swap the front frame while keeping your existing lenses
\- Change temple arms to match your style
\- Replace only damaged parts if something breaks
\- Mix and match colours without buying a whole new pair
The goal is to make eyewear more customizable, repairable, and less wasteful.
I'm still in the research and design phase, so I'm not trying to sell anything. I genuinely want to understand whether this solves a real problem and what concerns people might have.
If you have 3 minutes, I'd really appreciate your feedback through this short survey:
I'm also happy to discuss the idea here in the comments. If you think it wouldn't work, I'd love to know why—that feedback is just as valuable as positive responses.
Thanks for your time!
