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 He needed glasses in grade 7 and since then he’s been even more withdrawn.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

stop glasses from sliding down nose for good

Your left ear. Your right ear. The left side of your nose. The right side of your nose.

The four places where your eyeglasses make contact with your head.

In the case of your left and right ear, you skin makes contacts with plastic temple tips.

In the case of your nose, it makes contact with your eyeglass nosepads though with some plastic frames, there’s no nosepad per se and then your nose just makes contact with the frame.

Some people like to think of those four points of contact like wheels on asphalt. I used to think that, but lately I’ve been studying the problem so more and now I tend to think of it like a baby carriage on an ice rink.

That’s it. This is reality.

And it always amazes me why people think glasses shouldn’t slip down their noses?

What’s to keep it from slipping?

Your skin makes contact with plastic. Your skin has pores. When you’re active, those pores release moisture called sweat. The sweat makes contact with plastic. Wet plastic. Slippery.

And so every little movement causes the entire framework of your eyeglass frames to slide forward. Then gravity does the rest. Because ain’t it just like gravity to pull down?

Or maybe some people think that glasses come with some type of anti-gravity device which makes them defy gravity and for those people whose glasses are slipping, that somehow this anti-gravity device is malfunctioning…

The reality is that glasses slip down your nose because their slippery and nothing is stopping them from being slippery.

Think about it, if your ears were made of felt or some other wispy fabric and the temple tips of your eyeglasses were made of Velcro then definitely they wouldn’t slip right?

But that’s not the case.

Your skin is epidermal layers which is smooth. That’s why you glide through the water when you swim. And when you sweat those epidermal layers get moist and the moisture makes the glass temple tips and nose pads slippery and then your hands automatically come up to your face. Another slipping glasses push up. Except you don’t use your ab muscles, you use your arm muscles.

So like I was saying…glasses slip because they’re designed to slip. Or rather no one ever designed not to slip.

Until now that is.

Keepons eyeglass retainers.

What’s a retainer? It’s a device which holds something in place. Keepons holds you glasses in place, that is, squarely on your head.

Keepons are two swatches of silicone shaped like small boomerangs. Through one arm of the boomerang runs a hollow tunnel which your eyeglass temple tips thread through. Once thread through, the other boomerang arm goes around your ears comfortably, like a soft hook.

The hook stops the forward movement of your glasses.

No more slipping glasses.

And that’s the science behind Keepons eyewear retainers.

Magical, but no magic involved. Just Physics and common sense.

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.

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.
