My son's glasses don't slip down his nose anymore


Jed is no longer bullied and he has a girlfriend now. All thanks to Keepons eyeglass retainers. Perhaps I should rewind a bit. My name is Pam and my son is Jed. He’s in grade 10 in high school. I worry about him or at least I used to. He’s so introverted and he gets picked on. Or at least he used to. He needed glasses in grade 7 and since then he’s been even more withdrawn. But he was always pushing up his eyeglasses and frankly even though I’m his mom, I think he looks kind of nerdy. So I asked my coworkers how I could stop his glasses from slipping. Some people suggested I get him some eyeglass straps, but I was against it. The thought of the straps and how they would make him look even more dorkier sent shudders down my spine. Then Kathleen who works in Planning took off her glasses and showed me this attachment she had on both of her temples. They were small and transparent and hooked around her ears.

What is that? I asked. And more importantly where did you get them?

She said, oh these are called Keepons, cause they keep on your glasses, get it?

I giggled. Kathleen is such a delightful person.

I got them online at a site called chamightlike.com, and they cost me $6.

Wow, that’s it?

Yeah.

How much for shipping?

It’s included, free shipping with tracking number all around the world.

That’s amazing!!!

So I went back to my desk and I know I should have been phoning customers, but I spent two minutes ordering from chamightlike.com. It was really easy.

Then in about 2 weeks they arrived and I helped Jed put them on. You just twist the retainers on the temple tips.

The next day, he came home as happy as a birthday. He said, that he has a girlfriend now, Trisha. She sits next to him in class. Also the boy in class who picks on him found someone else because Jed’s glasses don’t slip down his nose anymore. Although I don’t know how comfortable I am with Jed having a girlfriend, I like that he’s more outgoing now, now that he has Keepons.

Glasses used to slip all the time, then I got Keepons eyewear retainers


I have been interested in Keepons eyeglasses retainers for a long time but I’ve never bought anything online. Not even once. The idea intrigues me but I’m always afraid you know, about hackers and people stealing your information and then your money.

But recently I couldn’t take it anymore. My glasses always slip down my face and they do it so often that I can’t stand it anymore. It really bothers me. It seems not a minute goes by and I’m pushing them off the middle of my nose. And that makes me nervous and when I get nervous I start sweating and then my glasses fall more.

I mean it’s already bad enough where I work. Everyone is so good looking. The guys are all handsome and the women look like supermodels. And there’s me, looking dopey as usual. So I finally scrounged up the courage to place the order.

That and I learned that the chamightlike.com store which sells Keepons is hosted through shopify.com and I’ve read a lot of positive things about shopify. They’re big and really legit. Er sorry I mean legitimate. I tend to use slang like that, like a teenager. Also it’s PayPal after all.

I know I’m being overly worrisome but I can’t help it, I get it from my mom. I was raised to be a big worrier.

So after 2 weeks, well not exactly 2 weeks more like 10 days they came in the mail. I was so excited for two reasons. One this was my first online purchase and two, this thing promised to stop my glasses from slipping. Which it did no problem!!!!

WOW, now I’m thinking why have I been so stupid. Why didn’t I order them sooner. I could have saved myself so much suffering from slipping glasses. Now I actually smile and am planning to ask people out. Tonight I’m going shopping for new clothes. Thanks Keepons!

Friends telling friends about Keepons eyeglass retainers


I went over to my friend’s house for dinner last night. I’ve known Jennifer since we were in high school. Anita, Jennifer’s daughter looked really happy. I said, “what is it Sweetie? Did mom buy you something really nice?”

Anita nodded her head.

“Is it new books?” I asked, since Anita loved reading.

“Better,” she said with a sly smile.

“Better than books!” I exclaimed with true astonishment, there was nothing she liked better than books, except for, I turned to Jennifer in shock.

“You got her a pony!!!!”

Both mother and daughter burst out in tears amidst laughter.

“No Auntie Daphe,” said Anita as she took off her glasses for me to see.

On the arms of her glasses were attached what looked like transparent pieces of erasers.

“What. Is. That???”

“They’re called Keepons eyeglasses retainers, Aunty Daphe. Mom got them for me because the kids used to make fun of me because my glasses used to always fall down my nose. Billy always pushes me and says I’m a dork.”

“Well see her, you tell Billy that if he keeps that up, your Aunt Daphne is going to go over there and give him a knuckle sandwich!”

“Hahahahahah it’s ok, he won’t be pushing me anymore because my glasses don’t slip down my face anymore. Keepons did the trick.”

“Lemme see what you got there, pumpkin.”

I looked closely at Anita’s glasses and saw that the Keepons were attachments with a hollow middle. The temples threaded through the hollow middle. Then the Keepons hooked over Anita’s ears to stop them from slipping.

“How much these cost?”

“Six bucks all the way from Hong Kong, included free international shipping and tracking number,” said Jennifer.

“Hey my boss’s kids have the same problem, what’s the website address?”
“chamightlike.com”.

“Thanks, although I think they’re not as cool as a new pony,” I suggested.

We had huge giggles for the next 30 minutes then apple pie.

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.
