I'd pay anything to stop my eyeglasses from slipping, $6 what a great deal

I don’t like messy. I don’t like things out of place. I’ve spent all my life structuring everything. Everything in my house has a place and everytime I use it, I put it back in it’s place. I like that about my life. Everything is orderly. Well except for one thing and that is the sad fact that my eye glasses keep sliding down my face. No matter what I do, it can’t be helped. I brought my glasses back to the optometrist but he couldn’t help. He tried to twist and adjust the frames with his special tools but it was all for nothing. When I was in the eyeglass store sure they didn’t slip but then I wasn’t moving about. I wasn’t sweating. And why would I be sweating in the store? There was wonderful air conditioning. But this isn’t like real life. In real life the weather changes or you’re late for a bus and you start running and then you sweat and then your glasses slip. And I hate that. I tried contact lenses but they don’t help. I can’t wear contacts because I did once and got a serious eye infection. Stupid contacts cost me three hundred dollars too because I have a pretty strong prescription. I tried buying invisible tape and carefully wrapping a couple of layers around my eyeglass temples but they caused a rash. Fortunately I did the right thing. One day I couldn’t stand it anymore so I went online and did a google search using the term, slipping eyeglasses. One of the first hits was from a site called chamightlike.com and when I went there I saw that they sold a product called Keepons eyeglass retainers and I was overjoyed. Impossible I thought, how could I have missed this all along? To think that I had been suffering for so long when the solution was just a mouse click away. So I ordered them and boy am I happy. First they were really affordable. Only $6. I would gladly pay one thousand dollars to stop my glasses from slipping. Also the $6 included free worldwide shipping and I even got a tracking number so I could track the package as it made its way from Hong Kong to Australia where I live. The minute I tried them on, it was like I had been in a dark room for years and then somebody turned the light on. Now my glasses no longer slip. Thanks Keepons.

How to properly stop your glasses from slipping

There was a while back that I was so miserable that I really didn’t want to go on. But fortunately I did and instead, sat down at my desk with a piece of paper and a pen and started listing out the things I wanted. I wanted a perfect body not my own. I’m obese because I have a dysfunctional relationship with food. I eat when I’m happy. I eat when I’m sad. I eat to celebrate success. I eat to dampen defeat, so I definitely wanted a perfect body which meant eating properly and exercising more. I wanted more friends. I guess for the longest time I have had next to no self-esteem and this really is a vicious circle. The more worthless you feel, the more you eat, the fatter you get, the more worthless you feel, over and over, so then I became more and more withdrawn. When co-workers suggested going out for drinks after work, I turned them down. I didn’t want to go to bars and clubs where attractive people hangout and stand out like a sore thumb. So over the years, I lost more and more friends until now, the only friends I have are on social networks like Reddit or Digg, but I’ve never met them face to face. Every night I spend the hours before bed in front of my computer monitor. I eat in front of my monitor too. Usually delivery from McDonald’s or pizza. On the top of my list was stopping my glasses from slipping and when I finished my list, I powered up my computer and went through the list one item at a time. On my first Google result, I came across Keepons for a search using slipping glasses. I ordered them, it took about 30 seconds and they really changed things for me. Most importantly it allowed me to cross off the other items on my list one at a time. It hasn’t been easy but I hold my head high now. Oh and I’m 20 pounds lighter. Thank you for Keepons for keeping my glasses from falling down my nose.

What To Do About Glasses Constantly Slipping Down Nose

How much would you pay for your life to be in order? Hundreds? Thousands? Yes of course probably more. As individuals we spend so much to make ourselves happy. All the things we buy, that we don’t need, in order to fill this vacancy in our hearts. When I’m so happy to brag that I spent $6 and my life is amazing.

When the Keepons eyeglass retainers arrived in the mail, I just knew there were going to work. They looked so cool, in transparent blue. Yes I got the Keepons original blue for $6. That includes free international shipping from Hong Kong by the way and I even received a tracking number to track the order all the way here to sunny Miami where I live, with my parents.


Anyway the Keepons arrived and I twisted them onto my glasses and then I put them on my head and voila! I can’t tell you how I felt. It’s very hard to articulate the feelings of relief. Like you’ve been carrying around baggage for most of your life, this emotionally frustrating baggage that makes you bitter and resentful how other people have such great lives and not you, but the minute, the very second the Keepons go to work you realize ahhhh life isn’t so bad. I don’t have it that bad.

It’s like I was suffocating all along and then finally the Keepons eyeglass retainers let me breathe. And it felt so wonderful to not always be pushing up your glasses every one or two minutes or look out through the top of your glasses like some old man. Well yes I’m not young, but old is how you feel, it shouldn’t be because your glasses are slipping. Well anyway Keepons stopped my glasses from slipping and I am very thankful for that.

Keepons advanced eyeglass retainers better than eyeglass straps for stopping slipping glasses

Whereas in the case of your pants falling down you’d use a belt, in the case of your glasses always falling down, an eyeglass strap is not the best solution.

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.
