1. A computer-implemented method for creating a model of an individual-specific eyewear product, using a computer system, the method comprising:

  • receiving, over an electronic network, and classifying one or more facial feature characteristics of users in a population of users;

    storing an association between the classified one or more facial feature characteristics and at least one eyewear design attribute;

    receiving, over an electronic network, or computing an individual-specific characteristic from image data of an individual outside of the population of users;

    predicting an individual-specific eyewear design attribute for the individual based on the individual-specific characteristic and the stored association;

    determining a first model of an eyewear product selected for the individual based on the predicted individual-specific eyewear design attribute, the first model comprising a solid model or a surface model of the eyewear product;

    determining one or more configurable features of a geometry of a frame of the first model of the eyewear product;

    quantifying at least a surface or a contour of an anatomic feature of the individual based on the image data of the individual;

    generating a second model of the eyewear product by shaping a surface or a contour of the first model of the eyewear product to match the quantified surface or quantified contour of the anatomic feature of the individual while maintaining one or more parametric constraints on the geometry of the second model, the second model comprising a solid model or a surface model of the eyewear product; and

    generating instructions for manufacturing the individual-specific eyewear product based on the second model.
