Gwen Grace 🦢✨ on Instagram: "I recently had the COOLEST opportunity… I had a chance to visit @breezm.global in Midtown Manhattan, and get CUSTOM glasses. Breezm creates custom glasses designed for a perfect fit, combining functionality & style. Using facial scanners, we measure each face and tailor glasses with 3D printing & laser cutting technology. The coolest part is that their AI recommends the right glasses shape for you, based on your unique facial features. If you experience discomfort like heavy weight, touching cheeks, sliding, you don’t have to worry about that with Breezm 🤓 as someone who’s had trouble finding glasss to fit my face, this was a huge game changer and I LOVE them 🥹 #breezm #breezmeyewear"
