Keepons eyeglass retainers: engineered silicone

Do you want to know why Keepons eyeglass retainers were engineered using silicone?

It’s because of silicone’s properties. It can be stretched and then return to it’s original shape.

This is very important because of the way your eyeglasses are designed. For example, there is a wide variety of temple tip types.

Some temple tip types are narrow and of a consistent width, for example the entire tip is 3-4mm in width. These aren’t so common.

More common are temple tips that start off wide and then taper to become narrower as the tips get close to the front of your glasses. For example, the temple tips may be 8-10mm in width and then narrow done to about 4mm at the point that it meets with the temple arm.

Such inconsistency in width dimensions makes designing eyeglass retainers very difficult. For example, the original Keepons design calls for it to be boomerang shaped with a narrow aperture running through the center of it. This allows it to be threaded over the temple tips and then the protruding part hooks over your ears so they don’t slip.














But if you make the aperture too narrow you won’t be able to get it past the wide point of the temple tip. But if you make it too wide, it won’t sit properly once it gets to the narrow part of the temple tip.

Hence, silicone is used for its property of stretching only when it is sufficiently forced to do so, and then within minutes retain its original shape. This makes it perfect for the majority of temple tips. But not any silicone will do. The silicone for Keepons had to be specially formulated so it could be stretchy enough to get past wide temple tips but rigid enough to adhere to the tip and not move about.

In exceptional cases where the temple tip is just too wide, one can separate the temple tip from the temple and then thread the Keepons over the narrow end of the temple tips then reattach temple tip with temple arm.

Or in the case where the temple arm and temple tip are permanently joined, one can use a screwdriver and remove the temple from the frame and then thread the Keepons over the other end of the eyeglass temple arm.

Whatever shape your temple tips take, a lot of thought has been put into designing Keepons with one overriding purpose: to stop your eyeglasses from slipping. Nothing more and nothing less.

Keepons are the science of stopping slipping glasses.

Keepons keep your glasses on.

Play better basketball with Keepons eyeglass retainers

You’re lucky. You’re good in school and you’re good at sports, especially basketball.

You get great grades to keep your parents happy and that means they let you do what you want, which is play basketball. You never enjoyed partying with the other kids. What a waste of time you think to yourself. What a waste of a life.

You don’t like sleeping in either. You love waking up early on a Saturday morning, earlier than your kid brother before he gets up to watch cartoons, take the ball to the park and just sink them.

One after another after another.

Because you have it figured it out. This is the secret of life. You just choose one thing you like and you keep practicing. And the better you get, the more confident you get, the more you love it.

You’ve loved basketball ever since you were a kid watching Iverson play for the 76’ers. He’s a symbol of aggressiveness, no-nonsense-ness, efficiency, exceptional skill. You’ve got two of his jerseys, one of them signed by him.

You love every part of the game except one. When your glasses slip while you play. You’ve got googles but it doesn’t feel good with goggles. They steam up and they block your peripheral vision. Besides your goggles are over a year old and you’ve gotten new glasses since then.

Contacts bug your eyes and feel uncomfortable.

You’ve tried using an eyeglass strap to keep your glasses on, but they feel terrible on your neck. When you turn your head, you need quick movements, and the straps just slow you down.

What’s more, when you start sweating, the straps absorb the sweat and just get heavier.

Well, for all the hard work you’ve put into one of the greatest games ever invented we’d like to introduce Keepons eyeglass retainers.
























Keepons are precision engineered from industrial strength silicone. They thread over your eyeglass temples and hook comfortably around your ears to, you guessed it, stop your eyeglass from slipping down your nose.

Now you’re free to bring your game.

Now you’re free to take it to the rim and dunk it so hard to make the stadium take to its feet and roar.

For the love of the game, remember the name.

Keepons. Sports eyeglass retainers.

Memories of what it was like when my glasses kept slipping down my nose
























As I sit down to write this, I know that my memories are imperfect. We tend to overestimate or underestimate our feelings of events. Just like when you close your eyes and try to recall a memory and you pay close attention to the picture in your mind, you realize that that’s a pretty unclear picture. The people in it or the things in it, seems like electrical outlines. But that’s all your brain needs to color in between the lines. Strange, yet miraculous.

And so with this imperfect mechanism I’m trying to think what it was like before I started using Keepons eyeglass retainers. I have one very vivid memory, near the end of my time with slipping glasses. This was just before using Keepons. It was hot that day. And very muggy. I had just got off work and I was wearing dress pants, uncomfortable dress shoes, and a dress shirt. In my right hand, I was carrying my briefcase. I was walking with a colleague to a restaurant. We were going to have dinner. The restaurant was about a 20 minute walk. Which isn’t bad in itself, but my face was full of perspiration and my glasses keep slipping. The glasses I was wearing at the time were these metal frames. They weren’t that heavy, but they still slipped. I pushed them up and it seemed not more than a minute passed and they slipped again. I purposely held up my head in an unnatural position so the front of my glasses were higher than my ears. But this was really uncomfortable. As soon as I lowered my head to a natural position, my glasses fell again. After pushing them up, them falling, pushing them up, them falling again I gave up in exasperation.

Now here’s the thing with memories. You may not remember faces or places, but for some strange reason you tend to remember feelings, and I was feeling very hopeless and helpless at that point. Hopeless and helpless aren't feelings, they're labels. The action feeling was one of heaviness and wanting to hide away. I needed my glasses because I couldn’t see without them but they just didn’t stay on. I don’t know how to describe it. I don’t mean that at that point, I said to myself, “note to self, remember that at this moment on such and such a day and this hour of the day, I am currently feeling helpless and hopeless.” No it wasn’t like that. It was more like this. I recall feeling like I would have preferred to be any place than there, preferred to be anyone else than me with falling glasses, and knowing that it was just fancy and that all my wishing was for nought. I could not wish my glasses to stay on my head. I remember feeling how it sucks to wear glasses in the first place. People say that you end up wearing glasses because you watched too much TV as a kid, but I don’t believe it. I think that’s something adults make up to stop their kids from watching TV because they believe TV is a distraction. It is, but that’s beside the point. Two wrongs don’t make it right.

A little while after that, I stumbled on Keepons eyeglass retainers and they changed my life. I don’t mean change my life in an epiphany type of way like a man discovers the secrets of the universe in a grain of sand. I mean, I didn’t wish to be someone else anymore. It meant that I didn’t feel helpless or hopeless. I could function normally and not seem geeky. Don’t get me wrong. I use the computer and Internet a lot and I play a lot of video games and I’m interested in science fiction which kind of makes me a geek. But I’m rather handsome and I like the way I look. When I wear contacts, I look great. But contacts irritate my eyes so usually I wear glasses. Before Keepons it used to be that eyeglass slipping got so bad that I’d switch to disposable contacts for a month or two then get so uncomfortable with them that I’d go back to glasses and then when I started wearing glasses again I’d remember why I hate glasses in the first place and back and forth, shuttling between one source of comfort to the next.

Then like I said I got Keepons eyeglass retainers and things got a lot better. Life is funny. There are things in life that are trivial or inconsequential. Keepons are just pieces of silicone with a narrow tunnel running through them yet they’ve made such a big difference in my life.

Keepons Eyeglass Retainers and Your Self-Esteem
























If you could remake yourself, what would you change?

Most people start with externals like losing weight or being taller, but don’t ever think about what’s on the inside.

For example, being less fearful. Imagine how different your life would be if you dared to do the things you don’t dare. Asking for a raise. Asking for a date. Going for that dream job? Starting your own business? Running for office?

For so many things that invisible enemy known as Fear gets in the way.

Or what about self-discipline?

You’ve always wanted to lose weight but when faced with scrumptious pizza, or mouth-watering French fries who can say no?

How would your life be if you had extraordinary self-discipline?

What about altruism?

How would life be like if you felt more compassion for people, more empathy?

People who naturally don’t feel compassion will probably think that feeling compassion is a sign of weakness. That it opens you up to be abused and taken advantage of. On the contrary, compassion stems from a source of strength stronger than all the violence in the world. To reserve judgment, to reserve hate, to attempt to understand others, and extend understanding…indeed how different would your life be, how successful?

What about self-esteem? In every endeavor you embraced how would it turn out if you felt that heart swelling that overwhelms you when you’re filled with brimming self-confidence? When you could take on anything, defeat anyone or anything, climb any mountain no matter how high?

Self-esteem isn’t a secret that only a few people share. But for those who have had a nurturing childhood, self-esteem comes more naturally because when you’re brought up in an environment where you’ve loved unconditionally and given structure to try and fail and encouraged to try your best, you become confident in what you accomplish.

If you grew up without nurturing then it’s up to you to re-parent yourself and give yourself the support you didn’t have growing up. Eat better not because someone's forcing you to, but because of love for yourself and knowing that it’s genuinely good for you.

Get some exercise, not for your gym teacher but to feel energy coursing through your veins and enjoy the feeling of being alive.

Smile, laugh as often as possible. And if there’s a problem embrace it with all your facilities.

Which brings up the problem of falling glasses. How long has that been a problem for you? You probably think who cares, no will ever find me attractive, what does it matter to stop your glasses from slipping?

Well if you don’t like yourself no one will ever like you.

And consider why you don’t like yourself.

Because when it mattered most, when you needed it most, you weren’t liked for being just you.

You had to live up to impossible standards that kept changing.

Stop.

Suffer no more.

Continuing to put up with slipping glasses is agreeing that you don’t deserve better. You do. For around $5 and a click of your mouse, you can start the journey to be a better you.

Keepons eyeglass retainers are engineered from industrial-strength silicone and thread over the temple tips of your glasses. Once in place, they do two things. They balance out your glasses from behind because your lenses makes the center of gravity lean forward, leading to slipping glasses. Keepons balances out the weight.

More importantly Keepons gently wrap around your ears and behave like hooks which stop slipping glasses. Don’t wait anymore. You don’t deserve to continue suffering. Get your Keepons eyewear retainers today.

Keepons Eyeglass Retainer Review: What it feels like to use Keepons eyeglass retainers for the first time

They come in the mail in about a week at most two. You’ve been checking online because Keepons eyeglass retainers comes with free shipping and a free tracking number.

With the tracking number you’ve been able to confirm when it left Hong Kong and when it arrived in the USA where you are.

They arrived in a bubble manila envelope. On the front is your address and behind is the return address should the package have been undeliverable. It’s a Hong Kong address.

You open the package and inside is a folded piece of paper with what is obviously your Keepons inside. You unfold the piece of paper and in the center of it is written, “Hi Mary, Thank you. Mike@chamightlike”. It is handwritten and there is a smiley face.

The Keepons are in a small plastic baggie. The ones you ordered are the Keepons original clear. You open the baggie and take out your Keepons. You hold them in your hand. They are light but feel incredibly solid. Like something engineered. Like something space age. Like something from the future.

You hold them up to the sunlight. The sun filters through the Keepons with ease creating a warm glow. They are transparent and cool to the touch. There is a narrow tunnel running through the center of it. This is where the temple tips thread through.

You have in your hand, the solution to your problems, but you hesitate. You’ve been dealing with slipping glasses for so long now that you can hardly believe that you’re on the threshold of being free.

Like someone sitting on the bed in their cell. Looking out as the cell door slides open. You’ve been in here so long that outside, freedom, it seems unreal. Somewhere a bell rings. You hear the sound of laughter, children playing, off in the distance.

This is a nice day. To be free.

You are still for some moments and then you come back to the present. You remove your glasses and hold them in your left hand. You take up one of the Keepons in your right hand. And you thread the left temple tip into the Keepons. The temple tips makes it into the aperture easily. But then it’s difficult to thread them through. All your pushing and it only goes in a little way.

Then you remember watching the videos. You’re not supposed to push. You’re supposed to twist. So you do and within seconds, the Keepons is where it should be. In the curve of your temple tips.

So put on the right Keepons. There it’s done. Now for the true test. The wearing test. As you lift your glasses up to your face, the feeling of doubt crosses you mind.

You place them on your head and there it is. That feeling of…freedom.



















The glasses sit squarely on your ears. You shake your head. You look down. You look up. You stand up. You jump. Your eyeglasses are where you placed them. Square on your head. It’s incredible to think that two pieces of silicone could have this much effect.

But then you are reminded it’s the little things. Nails. Hinges. Keys. That open the doors to change that transform lives.

You’re so happy you can barely contain your joy.

You go online and order another pair to be sent to your kid brother.

Love rules.

Sweating causing glasses to slip down nose, Keepons keeps them up

Know what Hyperhidrosis is? It's a medical condition. A disease if you will that's debilitating to those who suffer from it. It's when you sweat excessively. And by excessively we mean much much more than usual. You sweat when those around you are cool and dry. A casual stroll for most people might result in a slightly elevated heart rate and a healthy red glow in their cheeks, but if you have Hyperhidrosis you'll look like you just stepped out of the shower.

And while medical professionals certainly don't put Hyperhidrosis on the same severity scale as deadly diseases like Cancer or AIDS, Hyperhidrosis does have one quality about it that makes it quite horrifying to those who suffer from it. When you have Hyperhidrosis, your worst fears are realized.

For normal people, fear is a phantom without substance. But people with Hyperhidrosis live with the embarassment associated with appearing drenched or dripping wet and this causes them to fear sweating. This fear makes them sweat more. The more they sweat, the worse their fear and on and on goes this positive loop or vicious spiralling effect. In fact, it's not just worst fears realized, it's worst fears compounded with every iteration until daily living becomes frought with anxiety to the point of depression or worse.

Now for eyeglass wearers suffering from Hyperhidrosis, pushing up their slipping eyeglasses is a full-time occupation. Your face is moist to the point of sweat drenched, your hair is damp like you walked in from the rain, and your nose is bubbly with beads of sweat. And this makes the materials of your eyeglass frames slippery. Metal especially the electroplated kind in most eyeglasses or plastic frames become more slippery than a themepark waterslide in the presence of sweat.
























As a solution, Hyperhidrosis sufferers can find relief from eyeglass slipping with the use of Keepons eyeglass retainers. These engineered silicone attachments thread over your temple tips to hook gently around your ears. This not only balances the front heavy lenses, but they also stop forward movement of your entire eyeglass frame. The result is that your eyeglasses don't slip, you feel better, you sweat less, you fear less, and the vicious cycle of sweat fearing is actually reversed.

Don't hesitate any further, get your Keepons eyeglass retainers right away and stop slipping glasses due to the excessive sweating associated with Hyperhidrosis.

How to stop glasses slipping down nose

Why Keepons is your best solution for stopping slipping glasses.

How many times have you promised yourself you'd eat better, more healthier? But within a short time after making that promise you find yourself scarfing over junk food, burger, pizza, fries, chocolate bars, soda pop, that promise like a distant memory.

How many times have you promised yourself you'd get more exercise? Perhaps you know someone who suffered a stroke recently due to obesity and you swore you'd work more exercise into your regimen. You may have even gone to the mall to buy some new running shoes. And after two nights of walking around the block a couple of times after dinner, you're back to your old spot on the couch in front of the TV. Stroke? Won't happen you kid yourself.

And so it goes with so many things in life, bad habits continued, good habits never adopted, always procrastinating. Tomorrow never comes.

Maybe it's getting some more education so you can get bigger responsibilities at work so you'll get a raise.

Maybe it's losing some weight so you can attract the perfect mate.

Maybe it's getting an image makeover so you can truly be the real you.

We always put off what's good for you as if we have this self-sabotage mechanism built inside us.

If not why would we push up our slipping glasses over and over when there's a simple solution to eyeglass slipping.

They're called Keepons eyeglass retainers. Precision engineered silicone attachments that slip over each of your temple tips to sit comfortably behind your ears to stop the forward movement of your eyeglasses which lead to eyeglasses slipping down your nose.

















And all it takes it a click of the mouse to order them. Two weeks later they'll arrive in the mail and you'll see better, look better, and feel better. If only eating healthy and exercising could be accomplished as easily.

Keepons keep your glasses on.

Glasses Keep Slipping Down Nose, There Is A Simple Solution

It's bad enough that your vision isn't perfect. But then again, lots of people have it worse than you. Your vision is bad, but there are many people out there who suffer from blindness or near-blindness.

It's bad enough that you have to wear glasses because your vision isn't perfect. But then again, lots of people have it worse than you. Some people need glasses, but can't afford them. Or some people can only afford really cheap glasses and they feel embarassed wearing them. Like they're unworthy or somehow not good enough.

It's bad enough that your glasses keep slipping down nose. But then again lots of people have it worse than you. While your glasses may slip once or twice an hour, some people's glasses slip down immediately after pushing them as a result of their thick lenses as a result of their really poor eyesight. Or they may slip immediately because the person suffers from Hyperhidrosis, another name for excessive sweating.

And out of all the people who wear glasses, it's probably consoling to know that while a lot of people have it better than you, a lot of people have it worse. It isn't that thinking about people having it worse is supposed to make you happy. What it is is that if we remind ourselves that others have it worse, we can get off our high horse and stop pitying ourselves or thinking that our small problems are the mountains we make it out to be.

The fact is, not much in life, is as bad as it make it out to be. Quite often, we avoid simple solutions because for some reason we like staying in the problem. That this somehow defines us. It's almost that we enjoy suffering. That there is something noble in suffering.

This idea of noble suffering isn't without its merits. There is nobility in suffering for others. Like if you suffered for someone you love, or you fought for a great cause, but for something like slipping eyeglasses, there's no nobility in continuing to push up your glasses over and over, hundreds of times per day, hundreds of days per year, year and year, when there really is a simple solution and that solution is roughly five dollars and you could have that solution mailed to you with shipping and tracking number included free.

Keepons eyeglass retainers is a next generation anti-slip eyewear attachment that stops slipping glasses.

You slide them onto your eyeglass frame temples and they act like gentle hooks to prevent your eyeglasses from falling forward.

Some great things about Keepons eyewear retainers is that they are small and engineered from transparent silicone which makes them almost invisible so no one will know you're wearing them.

They really work and they're really comfortable.

Most importantly, Keepons are easy to use and safe to use.

This is in contrast to eyeglass straps, eyeglass cords, eyeglass chains, and eyeglass lanyards which are dangerous. Such dangers present themselves when these rope-type eyeglass retainers increase your chances of getting caught on hooks or protrusions while walking by, getting snagged by passing objects, clothes-lined and falling as a result of closing car doors, become tangled in dangerous machinery, the list is endless.

Even manufacturers and merchants who sell eyeglass straps, cords, chains, and lanyards have taken to warning customers of their dangers as evident in the following pictures and links.

$5 fix can stop your glasses from slipping down your nose

























I'm not going to waste your time talking about how slipping glasses suck. It's stressful and frustrating having to push up your eyeglasses every couple of minutes, especially if you're in an occupation that requires the constant use of both hands like being a massage therapist or a chef.

And I'm not going to waste your time talking about why glasses slip. For a detailed explanation, read this.

The fact is, your glasses slip and everything you've tried so far hasn't worked. And despite bringing the glasses back to the store to get them adjusted and tweaked with fancy optometrist pliers hasn't helped one bit.

Here's the 5 dollar solution.

They're called Keepons eyeglass accessories and they slip onto your glasses to prevent your glasses from slipping down your nose.

Here's a video to see them in action.

Keepons are cool cause:

  1. They're ever so light and compact
  2. Constructed from rip resistant silicone rubber
  3. They increase glasses on skin friction to prevent gravity from pulling down your glasses
  4. Are transparent so no one can tell you're wearing them
  5. Easy to use
  6. Just twist to remove
  7. It's perfect for students
  8. Stops kids from getting bullied by making them look less nerdy
  9. Allows you to wear your glasses while participating in light sports such as golfing, tennis, badminton, etc
  10. Solves the problem of oily skin causing slipping glasses
  11. Helps prevent slipping glasses even if you have a flat nose
  12. Stops sliding glasses even if you suffer from Hyperhidrosis
  13. Frees your hands so you can focus on the task at hand
  14. Works with sunglasses too
  15. They act like comfortable hooks around your ears
  16. Safer alternative to eyeglass straps

Just imagine this scenario:

Whoever said no pain, no gain was almost correct. Perhaps they should have said that no pain, no vain, because that's what wearing these new glasses feel like. You feel in love with them the minute you saw them in a upscale fashion mag.

And these designer glasses decorated in black lacquer and rhinestone encrusted temples, cost you a significant chunk of your savings. You were taken aback when the sales girl told you how much they were, yes, even you were shocked, and you're not stranger to buying luxury items.

Begrudingly you open you Prada purse, take out your Louis Vitton wallet, and hand the girl you gold Visa card. It's not easy looking amazing, and you do look amazing. Looks are important. You didn't always know this truth.

In highschool you were the girl no one asked out. The one boyfriend you had back then had been recommended to you by your mother's hairdresser and he was totally slobby and narcissistic. But then you met Lilith in university, and she helped you bring out the beautiful in you that had been dormant and locked up all these years.

You threw away all your sweatclothes and baggy jeans, oversized tees and purchased a few strategic outfits to bring out the best in you. You started working out regularly and ate well. And finally at age 32, as you look in the mirror on the door of your closet, you give yourself an appreciating smile. But after a few days of wearing your trendy glasses you started getting headaches.

It started when you were in the middle of answering an email from a customer. You're a graphic designer and your works of art can regularly be found as part of the web identity of many of the web's top websites. It got so bad, you had to stop typing in your Macbook Air and put your elbows on your desk and rub your forehead to ease the pain. You took off your glasses and unaware to you, soon your headache ceased.

A phonecall comes in, it's a content writer you work with, asking to send you a document he'd like you to look at, for ideal text placement and overall design consideration. You agree, put your glasses on your ears and wince with pain. Because your glasses are heavier than usual, they have been digging into the cartilage of your ears and you weren't aware of it. When you run your finger over the area you find it's raw and tender.

With a sigh, you grin and bear the pain. These glasses are too expensive to just toss aside. You look at the clock, it's only 11am. It's going to be a long day.


Life could be so much better with these cool Keepons anti-slip eyeglass devices.

Keeping Your Eyeglasses On Are Easier Than You Think

Ever go to sleep with a mosquito in the room? Aside from keeping you up all night by buzzing in your ear, you also wake up in the morning itchy and covered with bites all over your feet and hands.

Such a small thing can be such a living nightmare.

In the same way, have your glasses ever slipped down your nose?

Like hundreds of millions of eyeglass wearers around the world, you've probably experienced your fair share of this problem.

Falling glasses affect your seeing, makes you look clumsy, and contributes to a sense 0f all-pervasive yet low threshold stress that keeps up constantly in a state of unrelaxedness.

Kind of like having a runny nose.

Whereas with a runny nose though, you could just blow your nose into a tissue, what can you do about slipping glasses?

You've tried taking them back to the eyeglass store where you got them, but that hasn't helped at all. The eye doctor takes some special pliers and twists the eyeglass frame temples and seems to make adjustments which look very scientific and profound but at the end of the day, the minute your forehead is slightly moist from sweating, down go your slipping glasses.

It's enough to make you want to cry.

But don't cry, there's an inexpensive yet highly effective solution for stopping slipping glasses.

It's called Keepons.

























As you can see in the photo above, Keepons are small accessories which slide onto your eyeglass temple frames. There they stay and do a wonderful job of preventing the forward and downward movement of your glasses down your nose. They behave like comfortable hooks which wrap around your ears.

Keepons eyewear retainers are useful in that:

  1. They free your hands so you can get back to your work, in that you don't need to pushup your glasses every 30 seconds. In fact, you'll never need to push up your glasses again.
  2. They are made of silicone which will slightly stretch to fit different temple widths.
  3. In case, the temple tips are too wide, you can detach the temples and thread them through the thin end.
  4. Even in a sauna, your eyeglasses won't slip down your nose.
  5. Great self-esteem builder.
  6. Helps kids with glasses from being bullied.
  7. They keep sunglasses from slipping too.
  8. They are a better alternative to eyeglass straps which are prone to catching or being pulled upon.
  9. They are made of allergy-free rubber and are really comfortable to wear.
  10. They are so inexpensive and affordable, for the price of a coffee and a cookie you can stop a nagging problem and change your life for the better forever.
Put yourself into this picture:

You've been preparing for this moment for about two weeks. You've written a short essay that you hope will be interesting and delightful. The points are well-illustrated with one or two examples of students whose lives you've changed. You've polished the speech for style and proper diction. You've rehearsed what you want to say and how to say it, even spending hours in front of the mirror, practicing how to smile and how to look, to get it just right.

It's not that you're vain, you just don't like looking stupid or foolish in front of others. No one does. In fact, you've been preparing for this moment for over 30 years. Ever since you decided in high school that you wanted to be a teacher, you've pursued that goal passionately for the last 20 years. And so when you received the national best teacher award for outstanding teaching in English, you felt justified in your choice. Not for the award itself, it's just an object, but of what it symbolizes, that your efforts are appreciated and it motivates you to keep trying, to give it your best.

You think back to all the students you've helped, the individual cases of kids with such low self-esteem that without some act of encouragement they would've have fallen into an endless loop of self-destruction and self-loathing. But you showed them that if they were patient with themselves, applied themselves with detachment, that within a very short time they would see that there were indeed competent and that their low self-esteem was unjustified. They just needed someone to show how special they really are.

So you raise your hands and accept the award from the nice man from the national education committee. You push your glasses up and turn to the camera. The bright lights and your anxiety has caused you to perspire but you don't want people to see you wiping sweat from your forehead and face at such an important moment. This should be a happy moment for you, but you can't help seeing yourself in such an awkward pose. You push your glasses up again and that's the photo that's captured of you. Like a cruel joke from some magazine editor. Like how the stereotype is true, that academics are aloof and unattractive. You place the award on your shelf and soon it's covered with dust.

Life could be so much better if you just spent the couple of dollars and got yourself some Keepons eyeglass retainers.

Three out of three eyeglass wearers experience eyeglass slipping

How many eyeglass wearers are there in the world? Depending on who you ask, the answer is between 150 million and 1 billion (it's natural to assume that one-seventh of the world actively wears glasses or needs glasses).

But the stats about slipping glasses are what's really terrifying.

Three out of three eyeglass wearers experience eyeglass slipping. There are differences in severity ranging from pushing up glasses once every couple of minutes to the worst cases where glasses wearers need to pretty well hold up their frames with either their left or right hand continuously or risk walking around with heads leaned back so they can look out their glasses which are resting on the bulbous fleshy part of their noses.

To understand why eyeglass slipping exists, we need look no further than the frames themselves. There is nothing to keep them in place on one's head. For example, if you were going on a long road trip and you were packing heavy, your trunks all filled, would you just place your luggage on the top of your car and then begin driving?

Of course not. You'd fasten or secure the luggage somehow. Not so with glasses. Eyeglasses sit on your head, or more precisely on three contact points which are the ears and nose, and there is nothing to keep them there. First of all, your ears are slightly higher than your nose, so glasses are inclined to slip from the beginning. What's more the frames are front heavy because that's where you lenses are. Thirdly, the temple tips which sit on your ears are made of slippery plastic which makes them slip with ease (especially when they're sweaty or you're doing light activity).

Many eye doctors claim that slipping glasses are the result of poorly fitted glasses but this simply isn't true. No matter how much fitting and plying and adjusting the glass frames, there is no manipulative way to make glasses stay on your head.

There is a way to stop slipping glasses with Keepons eyeglass retainers though. And around 5 dollar per pair, they're an inexpensive yet effective solution to one dandy of a frustrating problem.

Keepons slide onto your eyeglass frames in the same way a McDonald's straw might fit over a chopstick, but imagine that the straw is rubbery and made of silicone so that it grips the temple tips, and then imagine the straw isn't a straw but shaped like a boomerang so it hooks around your ears and then you basically have an idea of what Keepons are like.
























Other Keepons benefits include:

  1. Being sweaty won't cause your glasses to slip anymore
  2. Safer than eyeglass strings which can pulled from behind
  3. They are transparent so no one will even notice that you're wearing them
  4. Such a small price to pay for such immense relief
  5. It's the perfect thing to get for your children or grandchildren to help them suffer less
  6. Perfect if you spent time in a hot kitchen, so won't have to put down the frying pan and plates to lift up your glasses
  7. Free shipping and tracking number
  8. Buy them now and they've arrive in about 2 weeks
  9. Amazing for students or presenters
  10. Whereas eyeglass cords can't be worn at the office, Keepons eyeglass retainers can!
Consider this scenario:

You've never been an outdoors person. In fact you prefer to be indoors as much as possible. Mother Nature isn't nothing but bugs, sunburns, and allergies. Of course, it wasn't like this when you were a child. Back when you were truly happy. The memories come slowly but when they arrive, their vividness overwhelms you.

You remember always being outdoors when you were young, running carefree and playing with the other kids wit such passion that it seemed like that that was all there was to life, so much so that it stressed your mother out to no end because she could never find you when dinner time came. You were either riding your bike with your friends, or in some playground amidst some pirate or spaceship fantasy, or playing handball against the school wall. Or shooting hoops in someone's driveway.

In fact, when you really put your mind into it, you can only recall memories of being indoors only when you were sick or when it was really storming outside. And even then, you'd be posted by the window with your gaze outwards longingly. But as the years went on, you spent less and less time outside. And more and more time in front of your computer on the Internet. How did this happen? So much so, that eventually that's what you took in university. You got a job as a programmer and spent all day in front of the computer. On returning home, whereas other people might cook, have a nice meal, then go out for a nice walk and watch the sunset, you prefer to get some takeout and playing online games to unwind after a long time. Slowly your weight crept up.

But one day, in the midst of the confusion and insanity of work, life, and endless pursuit of things you have really no need for, you remembered a more sensible happier period. And you did something you haven't done in a decades. You purposely closed your browser, turned off your monitor, and opened your front door. You took a walk in the park and the breeze is refreshing. The sun on your face brightens up your spirit and so you keep walking. You feel animated and wonder why you didn't do this sooner.

This is real life, and it's so much better than the virtual life you've spent most of your life trapped in. It's a warm day and as you walk your glasses slowly slide down your nose, thinking nothing of it, you push them up, and in that act, a memory is sparked. You remember why you hate physical activity, and you hate going out...your glasses keeping falling, and it's frustratingly uncomfortable. You feel unkempt and loafish.

In exasperation, you take a cab home and turn on your computer again. What were you thinking?

You could be so much more free, if you got yourself some Keepons eyewear retainers. Order yours now and in less than 2 weeks your life will be amazing!

What's the solution to slipping eyeglasses?

Slipping glasses is not efficient. People shouldn't live like that. And if your glasses aren't slipping but you know someone whose glasses ARE slipping, maybe you might consider sending them this blog post.

Because it doesn't have to be this way. Keepons eyeglass retainers can stop the glasses slipping and they're so inexpensive too. Roughly $5 per pair.

They slip easily onto your eyeglass frame temples so your eyeglasses won't slip down your nose.

  14. They ease ear pain

Consider this scenario:

The scented candles and the soft ambient music, the plush carpet and warmness despite it snowing outside, has a pleasant calming affect. This is your time. Each friday after work instead of going out for drinks, getting drunk and spending most of your paycheck with the gang, you spend a few hours at the spa.

This sets the tone for the weekend, yoga on Saturday mornings, blogging the week's events and Sundays spent in the farmer's market buying fresh produce, some beautiful fruit, some local wine, perhaps an afternoon picnic, adventures in a bookshop, and then the late afternoon preparing a nutritious, wholesome meal of organic vegetables and fresh fish or seafood. Life is good flying solo. As your massage therapist kneads your tired muscles you feel the stress dissipate, especially the incident this afternoon with a spelling error in an ad in a national publication. Heads would roll, but that would be on Monday. Now, you enter that special zone where all those things matter so little. Amy, the therapist spreads warm on over your arms, and soon the session is over and you move into the water services area for a jacuzzi and a steambath. Since you can't see without glasses you take them with you and it never fails to bother you that amidst such luxury and relaxation you have to deal with your glasses falling. Especially in the steam bath.

Although the room is steamy, and visibility is limited, you still prefer to wear your glasses, because sitting there blind is a vulnerable experience especially when people come in and out. Without your glasses, you're not able to see and acknowledge people you know. So out of frustration you remove your glasses and twist the temple hooks into a sharper curve. That solves the problem for a few minutes, but as the steam intensity builds, and the moisture around your ears builds, you feel gravity starting to act on your glasses again.

You chide yourself for letting something as trivial as your eyeglasses sliding down your nose ruin your pampering experiences, but it's spoiled. But what can you do?

The solution is Keepons eyeglass retainers. Don't suffer any longer, get yours today!
