Eyeglass straps don’t really prevent your glasses from slipping. At least that’s not what they were designed to do.
Originally eyeglass straps and for that matter eyeglass cords and chains were designed to keep your glasses at hand when you weren’t wearing them. For example you’re out for a walk and it’s sunny so you wear your sunglasses but when you go into a mall, where do you put your sunglasses? Holding them in your hand is inconvenient. And clipping the glasses on the collar of your shirt, well that’s not ideal either because it crimps your shirt collar making you look unkempt.
So that’s where the idea of eyeglass straps came in.
Another original use of the eyeglass straps was for light sporting activities. So that if you glasses did fall they wouldn’t fall to the ground and shatter, but would simply fall that short distance to your chest.
The thing is, eyeglass straps, cords, chains, and even eyeglass lanyards were never designed to stop eyeglass slipping. After a while because nothing better was available to do that, people adapted these devices. For example they’d tighten the strap to stop their glasses from slip but other problems arose. The glasses would be mashed against their faces or the straps would cause their hair to be messed up.
In contrast, Keepons eyeglasses retainers were specifically designed to address the problem of slipping eyeglasses. There are two very special features built into Keepons that makes them effective towards stopping slipping glasses.
First they have the patented Flexi-aperture center which allows them to sit securely on your eyeglass temples. Next they have a latch component which allows them to softly and comfortably hook around your ears and in this, the forward movement of your glasses is prevented, resulting in no more eyeglass slipping.
