Stop glasses from slipping? Here's how, Keepons for eyeglasses

What are Keepons? Well they are eyeglass retainers. If you look up the word retainer in the dictionary you’ll see that it’s a device used to hold something in place. In this case, eyeglass retainers are used to hold your glasses in place. Namely, eyeglass retainers are supposed to stop your glasses from slipping down your nose. I say supposed to because there are many products out there that are called eyeglass retainers that aren’t made to stop your glasses from slipping. For example eyeglass cords and eyeglass straps and eyeglass chains. They help to keep your glasses within reach namely on your chest when you’re not wearing them but then they don’t stop your glasses from slipping.

So like I said Keepons are eyeglass retainers, also known as eyewear retainers are made of allergy-free silicone which is like a rubber plastic type substance. The original Keepons were transparent which made them ideal for wearing on your glasses. That way you could stop your glasses from slipping and no one would know you were wearing eyeglass retainers.

In time, Keepons have produced eyeglass retainers in different colors like black, blue, purple, cyan, and pink.

What makes Keepons special is that they are enginnered with something called flexi-aperture. This is a system whereby a hollow tunnel runs through the middle of the Keepons retainer. This hollow tunnel allows the Keepons to be thread over your eyeglass temple tips and once in place, the Keepson acts like a soft hook around your ears where it stops your glasses from moving forward.

Now for the amazing thing about Keepons. They cost about six dollars in US currency. And this amount includes free shipping to anywhere in world. They ship out of Hong Kong through the HK post system which is the government system and go anywhere in the world.

You also get a tracking number so you can track your package as it makes it way around the world. At anytime you can check the status of your package online.

So basically for the price of two cups of Starbucks coffee you are able to stop your slipping glasses from continuing to ruin your life. Amazing huh?

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.

Slipping glasses a thing of the past with Keepons eyewear retainers

And then he read more about it including Schema Therapy and how to deal with Narcissists. Well not deal with it more as how to help them not use the same patterns that they use again and again and stay stuck in a rut.

Darn to heck he thought. I’m not getting any younger and it’s taken me a month to make up my mind about ordering eyeglass retainers.

I am really good for nothing.

What’s the big deal. They only cost $4 and that includes international shipping and tracking.

What’s the most I can lose?

They use PayPal, and I’ve bought off Amazon and eBay with PayPal.

And they use shopify which is a strong Canadian company.

So he went ahead with it, feeling good about not always sitting at the fork in the road.

Man I have problems he thought to himself.

Well in about 10 days those retainers arrived and with shaky hands he put them on his glasses temples. It went on really easy, like putting socks on, and then he placed his glasses back on his head and there.

No slipping. Well not that his glasses slipped and the Keepons pulled them up. But with the Keepons softly hooked half over his ears his glasses didn’t slide forward. That is gravity had no effect on them which was amazing!

$4!!! I should have gotten this a month ago, and he wanted to kick himself.

The next thing he did? Sit down in front of his computer and start planning out the rest of his life. Yup it’s about time. Time is precious and I’ve wasted too much of it. With these Keepons eyewear retainers helping me solve my problem of slipping glasses, it’s like a sign that the most difficult journey begins with a single step. Thanks 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!

Glasses slip and Keepons prevent them from slipping

Your parents aren’t getting any younger and when you think back at everything they’ve done for you, all the sacrifices they’ve made for you, all the patience and kindness and nurturing they’ve provided all these years, a tear comes to your eye and your heart swells with sadness that one day…

So you do everything in your power to make life better for them now that life is easier for you. You’ve got a good job as a result of your good education, which your parents provided of course. And you have a good head on your shoulders. Every months when you get paid, a portion goes to savings, a portion goes to the mortgage and car payments, and you never fail to give your parents a portion too.

On top of taking them out regularly like Sunday brunch and vacations every couple of months. That’s what a wonderful life is like. And you feel good about it because these two people gave you life, gave you everything, and did it with smiling faces, kindness in their eyes, and everything was unconditional.

So it was without hesitation that you ordered Keepons eyeglasses retainers for both your mom and dad. Both your parents wear glasses have so forever. Strangely it turned out that you never had to wear glasses though. The thing with genes…such a mystery.

Your dad loves his Keepons. His golf game has improved immensely he tells you over a beer at the local pub one afternoon. No longer pushing up his glasses while he plays. It’s the activity and the sun, makes you sweat he says and when you sweat, your glasses fall down he says. Well not yours as in you since you don’t wear eyeglasses but for him, yes.

And your mom loves her Keepons too. Perfectly brilliant for bridge and euchre and the thousands of other card games she plays with her girlfriends. They’re always doing something.

And that’s how life should be. Lived to the fullest. Thanks for making life better for my parents Keepons!

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.

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.
