  • Patent number: 11726353
    Abstract: A device and method for altering the appearance of any eyeglasses by generating and applying an eyewear appliqué. Users may alter the façade of eyeglasses without the cost of new glasses. Users may create a profile including a frame scan file from a camera or scanner and specific design elements to create a vector file that is processed by the appliqué application to produce an appliqué with alternative design elements. The appliqué application produces an appliqué from the scan file and user preferences. The appliqué is peeled from the release liner to and then pressed onto the user's frame to create the newly designed eyewear appliqué and custom look. The adhesive used in the production process allows the eyewear appliqués to be removed from frames and reapplied multiple times. The user can easily remove an eyewear appliqué by peeling and replacing it with another for an alternative look.
