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 He needed glasses in grade 7 and since then he’s been even more withdrawn.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.

Keepons keeps you happy by keeping your glasses from slipping


Yup life sure is crap. I’m 29, going onto 30 next week and I am so not even close to where I thought I would be when I got to be 30.

I thought I’d have my own house, a car, maybe drive a BMW, also have another weekend ride like a Range Rover, be married to a beautiful woman, and have close to a million in the bank.

Let me tell you how it’s really like. I had to move back home after I got laid off as the area manager for a submarine restaurant. My parents are retired and it’s like it was when I was growing up, arguing all the time, trying to prove each other as wrong as possible. Whereas before it would only be a couple of hours a day since both had to work, now it’s constant bickering. Over the most inconsequential stuff too.

That’s probably why I don’t want to get married. Not that there are a lot of options on the table. Who wants to marry an unemployed 29 year old who still lives with his parents. Oh right, correction, a couple days ago I found a job so I’m not officially unemployed. I clean up at the local cultural center, but only on the weekends. Hopefully I’ll have more hours later on.

Yup pretty pathetic I must say.

How did it get this way?

Oh and I’m overweight too. And prone to Depression. When I’m not working I try to not come home until late. I usually end up drinking cheap alcohol at the Park. I pour it out of the bottle and into a thermos. I know I’m not fooling anyone.

And my stupid glasses keep falling.

I can’t even afford the $4 it costs to get Keepons. My buddy told me about them the other day in an email. He’s got a job as a programmer for a big software company you’ve definitely heard of.

He sent me the link.

But one problem is that my credit card is majorly in arrears.

He said these things stop your glasses from slipping down your nose and he showed me the link, chamightlike.com/collections/keepons.

But I’ll be darned if I ask my mom to buy them for me. If he was any kind of friend he’d order an extra pair for me.

Life goes on with my falling eyeglasses. Life sure is bad.

Effectively stopping eyeglass slipping with Keepons


So I got myself some Keepons eyeglasses retainers and that was about two months and boy how my life has changed! It was just the catalyst I needed.

I started eating right too and suddenly once in my life it wasn’t so hard. It was harder on my family and friends because they wanted me to eat with them, restaurants, junk food, and so on.

It’s amazing how big a role food plays in our everyday lives. Not nutrition I mean, just food as social lubricant, food as comfort, food to celebrate, food to console, and sure at first it felt kind of weird but the more people insisted that I could just stop my old habits, the more I wanted to drop them.

It was like I was being healthy to spite them. I’m not sure if it’s happened to you, the people around you don’t want you to change or they give you that look like yeah you’ll revert in a matter of days and be like your old self again, but I’m proud to say that in the last 2 months I’ve lost a total of 21 pounds.

Well not just from eating better but also from exercising. At first I was going to do the same boring old exercises, like run around the block and then I thought nope. Keepons changed my life and gave me a new start and I wasn’t going to waste it.

So you know what I did?

I joined a Parkour group. It’s amazing! Do you know what Parkour is? It’s running all over the city, over obstacles, just all manner of crazy and now it was great because I could run and my glasses wouldn’t slip down my nose. I would sweat like crazy and my glasses wouldn’t slip down my nose. All thanks to Keepons eyewear retainers.

Keepons eyeglass retainers and Yoga


What I love about Bikram Yoga is sweating. I know that sounds obvious but I mean the psychological aspect of it. After a class I feel unburdened like all the bad things, guilt, anxiety, worry, bitterness, anger, resentment, everything toxic to my mind and body has just been flushed out which is a great feeling.

I can literally wrench the sweat from my clothes like I had just dipped them in a basin of water. I think more than anything, after every class I feel reborn and so that’s why I go to Yoga every day.

From the first “Namaste” I am immersed in a warm (well more like hot) world of kindness and loving and intention and I know this may sound funny, but it feels like I’m in a womb. And sometimes it gets so hot that I want to faint but I never ever ever leave that room because despite the heat I feel such genuine well-being from myself, those of my classmates, and from the instructor in the front of the class.

The only problem really is that if I don’t wear my glasses while I am practicing I can’t see. I mean it’s ok because I know the poses already but when you can’t see you feel disconnected, so I have to wear my eyeglasses when I do yoga but with all that sweat, my glasses keep falling down my nose and that’s just as bad as not wearing them. Sometimes I’ll be doing Downward Dog pose and then clunk, my glasses fall to the ground and I am so embarrassed because I know I am disrupting my classmates whom I consider like brothers and sister.

Then the other day while I was surfing the web I saw a tweet that suggested there was a way to stop falling glasses so immediately I clicked on it and behold – Keepons eyeglasses retainers. They look like these two pieces of…rubber, well silicone actually with this empty middle through it like a highway and this is where you eyeglasses temple tips thread through and then these Keepons hook over your ears in the most gentle way and this stops your glasses from moving, slipping, falling…I am so happy now that I have Keepons.

Play better volleyball with Keepons eyeglass retainers
























For you, volleyball is the sport, nothing better.

You started playing for the school team and then on the weekends it was beach volleyball.

While most of your friends enjoy cheerleading, for you it’s volleyball. It’s hard to express it: there’s a precision in volleyball that you haven’t experienced with other sports. You played girls basketball in your junior year and did alright. But it never held your interest, not as volleyball does.

And being close to the water, it’s so perfect.

Perhaps that’s why you love volleyball more. You can play volleyball at the beach and in this way the environment makes the game more perfect. You sort of understand why golfers love to golf. A part of the attraction is the setting.

That and the fact you’re really good at volleyball. Your ability to be spoke for the team, your ability to transcend your side and play as if you facing yourself from the opposite side. It’s uncanny but for you, as soon as the ball is served everything is slowed down and you see all the trajectories of the ball four or five moves ahead. You just know what people will do.

The only part of volleyball that kind of sucks is that your glasses keep slipping. You have goggles but they mess up your hair and what’s more, they leave you with raccoon eyes. You tan all over your body and face except underneath your goggles.

You’ve tried contacts but they dry out your eyes and more importantly when you’re at the beach, sand keeps getting into your contacts.

Eyeglass straps, cords, and chains just don’t help because the sit limply on the back of your neck and make you feel slow. Every turn of the neck is like pulling a sack of potatoes across your shoulders. Yup, if you could solve the problem of falling glasses down your nose, it would be perfect.

Well we have some great news for you. We have just what you’re looking for and their called Keepons eyeglass retainers. They come in a pair and they’re small and transparent pieces of engineered silicone which thread over each of your eyeglass temple tips. Once in place they balance out your glasses so they’re not so front heavy.

What’s more they gently hook around your ears so your eyeglass don’t slip down your nose every few minutes.

That way, when the play of the century comes along, you know the one where two defenders jump up to block, you can spike the ball with so much force it knocks them back ten feet and win the game without having to worry about your glasses slipping.

For the love of the game, remember the name. Keepons sports eyeglass retainers.

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.

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 eyewear retainers, a videogamer’s secret weapon

You’re in the middle of your favorite game be it Counterstrike, Starcraft, or maybe you’re just going head to head with your girlfriend on Dr Mario on the Nintendo Wii. It’s always happens the same way.

You’re really into the offensive, your senses fully alert. Both hands on the console and you notice it. Imperceptibly at first, but then it starts to snowball.

So deep down in your subconscious you’ve already started to weigh the decision.

Do I lift one hand? Do I take it away from gaming for just a split second? You decide not to and instead try to push up your glasses with the back of your hand so you can keep both hands on the controller. But that doesn’t work. It just knocks your glasses to the side and now their crooked on your face.

Finally seeing gets so bad, that you go for it when you see a window in the action. You take your left hand off the joystick, lift your glasses and then get back into it…but nooooooooooooooooo! It’s too late, that split second is all it took for the enemy to create a hole in your head the size of a grapefruit.

You watch your character on screen lie there in a hopeless heap.



















What do you continue to underperform in gaming like this when there is a simple and inexpensive and effective solution? It’s called Keepons eyeglass retainers and it’s available from a site called chamightlike.com, yeah chamightlike sounds like you might like. It’s a play on words.

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.
