Retro Peepers  eyewear with Vintage Style

Keepons next generation eyeglass retainers are engineered to stop your glasses from slipping down your nose. They are constructed from high grade silicone and feature a patented flexible aperture through which you thread your spectacle temple [arms] tips.

Once in place, Keepons do two things.

First, they sit at the back where your temple tips are, to change your eyeglass center of gravity. This is important because your eyeglasses make contact with your head in two places: your ears and your nose. Because your ears are higher than your nose, in their natural position your spectacles sit slanting slightly downwards. What's more, because your spectacle lenses are heavy, you have a situation where your glasses point down and are front heavy. The result is spectacle slipping. Keepons balances out the weight distribution of your glasses.

Next, and most importantly, Keepons gently hook around your ears as another safeguard to prevent the forward movement of your frames which results in spectacle slipping.

 

Up until now the only avenue for slipping glasses was to bring your glasses back to the optician where you bought them and get them adjusted. But if you've ever tried this, you know from personal experience that adjusting the frames just doesn't stop eyeglass slipping.While your glasses don't slip when you're sitting at the opticians after he's adjusted them, they start slipping as soon as you leave the shop. Why is this? The same reason cars don't get into accidents when they are sitting in the show room. Cars get into accidents after you drive them off the lot into traffic. In the same way, glasses start slipping when you're actually engaged in your daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, and moving about.The fact is, spectacles slip because they're slippery. Frames are made of metal or plastic and these materials are by their nature, slippery. And when they get wet, for example when you sweat, they get even more slippery.

No amount of adjusting or bending will make glasses slip less.

Keepons spectacle retainers are the most effective way to stop slipping glasses because they scientifically neutralize the cause of spectacle slipping.

Keepons come in two and are sold in pairs, one for each of your individual spectacle temple tips.This makes them much safer to use than spectacle straps, eyeglass cords, and hains which may get tangled up in or caught on things leading to serious injury or worse.

Keepons are also small and transparent which means no one will notice that you're wearing them .

Keepons are made of allergy-free silicone which makes them very hygienic compared to fabric-based eyeglass retainers that absorb moisture and odors from sweat.

 

Spectacle slipping is a problem which seems very unimportant until you realize that when your glasses slip down your nose once every two or three minutes, this means you're pushing up your glasses hundreds of times per day!

 

 

 

3 sizes suitable for most spectacle frames [ask Annie if you aren't sure]

and available in BLACK or CLEAR silicone

 

Rigid Short Clear or Black

The most popular model. The one people get when they're not sure what to get. RIGID; made of allergy-free rigid silicone which doesn't stretch much. The aperture (the hole in the middle of chassis which your spectacle temple tips slide through) is about 3mm. At most, it stretches to about 6mm. (Slightly more if you warm them up a bit first by dropping them into hot water for about 30 seconds.) As such, it's ideal for spectacle temple tips that have a cross-sectional diameter of about 3-6mm. The kind of temple tips one usually finds with metal frames that is. This is in contrast to sunglasses temple tips which measure at 10-12mm. SHORT means that the hook portion (the part that goes over your ears to stop your spectacles from moving forward) is short compared to the hook lengths of other models. It works just fine in stopping your glasses from slipping and is very comfortable when worn, but the specific advantage of a short hook over a long hook is that it's almost unnoticeable when worn. 

Rigid Short Clear Lite

RIGID; made of allergy-free rigid silicone which doesn't stretch much.The aperture (the hole in the middle of chassis which your eyeglass temple tips slide through) is about 4mm. At most, it stretches to about 7mm. As such, it's ideal for spectacle temple tips that have a cross-sectional diameter of about 4-7mm; the kind of temple tips one usually finds with metal or thin plastic frames. This is in contrast to sunglasses temple tips which measure at 10-12mm. SHORT means that the hook portion (the part that goes over your ears to stop your eyeglasses from moving forward) is short compared to the hook lengths of other models. It works just fine in stopping your glasses from slipping and is very comfortable when worn, but the specific advantage of a short hook over a long hook is that it's almost unnoticeable when worn.

CLEAR; transparent silicone LITE; made of less material so their lighter.

Rigid Long Clear or Black

A solid choice for extra spectacle slipping stopping power. RIGID; made of allergy-free rigid silicone which doesn't stretch much. The aperture (the hole in the middle of chassis which your temple tips slide through) is about 4mm. At most, it stretches to about 7mm. (Slightly more if you warm them up a bit first by dropping them into hot water for about 30 seconds.) As such, it's ideal for temple tips that have a cross-sectional diameter of about 4-7mm; the kind of temple tips one usually finds with metal or thin plastic frames. This is in contrast to sunglasses temple tips which measure at 10-12mm. LONG means that the hook portion (the part that goes over your ears to stop your spectacles from moving forward) is long compared to the hook lengths of other models. It works great in stopping your glasses from slipping and is very comfortable when worn, but unlike a short hook which when worn is almost unnoticeable, long hooks aren't inconspicuous.

Superstretch Long Black or Clear

For bigger frames, this is the one.  SUPERSTRETCH; made of allergy-free silicone which offers the most amount of stretch available. The stretchiness of the silicone is comparable the types of silicone bands people use for workouts and is just as tough. The aperture (the hole in the middle of chassis which your spectacle temple tips slide through) is about 6mm. At most, it stretches to about 12mm. As such, it's ideal for temple tips that have a cross-sectional diameter of about 6-12mm. The kind of temple tips that a few of my Retro Peepers frames require, especially if they have paddle style temples. LONG means that the hook portion (the part that goes over your ears to stop your spectacles from moving forward) is long compared to the hook lengths of other models. It works great in stopping your glasses from slipping and is very comfortable when worn, but unlike a short hook which when worn is almost unnoticeable, long hooks aren't inconspicuous.
