My glasses kept falling out of my shirt pocket. I bought a gold chain to wear them around my neck but before long it was leaving a green mark on my neck. I figured there must be a way to fasten a clip to the earpiece of the glasses. I searched on Google for “Eyeglass Clips” and found your site. They worked just as I’d hoped and are easy to install.

Your clips are just great. With the special adhesive lined heat-shrink tube the clip works really well with my narrow 3/32 inch arms of my reading glasses. Thank you.
I have been trying to figure out what search phrase I used to find you and I can’t remember. I tried all manner of different combinations and not one of them brought up your site. I had been looking for 2 years to find half frame reading glasses with a pocket clip. Finally I found your sight. There is no question you need to get the word out, for there must be lots of people who want what you have invented. It never crossed my mind that I should search for a clip separate from the glasses, that is a brilliant idea.
I have several pairs of prescription half frame reading glasses. It is the only thing I can stand to wear. Even though I look above them to see long distance I can’t stand to keep them on very long. So I have to have a pocket clip or else it gets really expensive when they keep disappearing from my shirt pocket and I find them under my foot!
So you have solved my problem, now I can get good prescription reading glasses and attach your clip to them and I am one very happy camper!

Pocket clips arrived today. Thanks for quick response, clip now fitted, excellent, met all my expectations.
Web site is basic and looks rather old fashioned. That said its gets over your message and works!
I decided to buy from you, quite simply, because I could not find any other source of such a simple, practical solution for retaining specs. I found tour site by googling “glasses fall from pocket”.

Yes, I got them and I’m considering a few more. The clips are easy to install and work great — and your price is quite reasonable. I have lots of reading glasses laying around various places. I haven’t needed them long enough to get used to carrying a pair with me, so I needed a way to carry them that would overcome the disincentives to carrying them. The ones that come in the tube case with the pocket clip … the tube case is too bulky and looks waaaaaaaaaay too geeky. I wanted something that I could put right on the glasses to avoid the extra bulk and keep them from falling out. And you can’t just take a clip off a pen and glue it on. Your solution is elegantly simple. Now I just have to figure out how I’m going to carry a pair when I’m wearing a T-shirt or polo.
I like a good product and American ingenuity. This is what it’s all about.

You know, I don’t really remember off the top of my head what the search was. But it would have been something very much like, if not exactly: “pocket clip eye glasses”
because that’s exactly what I was looking for.

Hi, Dave:

Your questions deserve a longer response.

How did I find your website? I Googled “pocket clip for eyeglass frames”. I’ve been wanting a product like this for years!

Why did I buy it? It was easier than developing it myself, although I’ve thought about doing so for many years. Just never got around to it.

I am an architect, industrial designer, inventor, and successful entrepreneur. I’m 65 and have resisted wearing bifocals or continuous or multi-focal lenses because I never found appealing the notion of having to look out the top or down the lower portion depending on what I was looking at. So I contend with multiple eyeglasses-one for up close, one for computer, and one for distance (driving, movies & TV and recognizing people at social events rather than seeming like I’m ignoring them). And then sunglasses, but I use necklace cord for those around my neck.

I’ve always thought of this as an original product item rather than an add-on (retrofit). What’s given me pause is that the spring clips have to be heat treated and would anneal if they were silver soldered, say, to the eyeglass frame (I wear wireframe glasses).

So you’ve come up with a clever way to affix them. I happen to have an industrial hot-air gun for applying shrink-wrap tubing, so I was well equipped. For thin wire frames, your smallest diameter tubing may not be quite small enough, as they spin on the wire frames and can slide, BUT seem like they will be usable. I like the squeeze-at-the-top feature!

Two suggestions:

1. Can you include a smaller size shrink wrap as well for thin wireframes?

2. You should make the clips available in several different finishes: chrome (as you now supply), black (black zinc or black cadmium), bronze & gold. For a few hundred dollars, you could have small lots run of each and stock them. They would be a lot more appealing than just the chrome, although I was so happy to find them that that wasn’t a consideration ’til I actually put them on my glasses and noted the mis-match. Please advise when you have either or both of the above available.
phrase. I bought yours because it seemed the most practical. Time will tell!

I had the idea that I wanted a clip for my glasses, so I Googled “clip for my glasses”. Your page was on the second or third page of results.

The clip works well and even better with a few slight mods. There was a burr on the end of the clip, so I filed that down. I also bent the end of the clip to help not catch material. Also rounded the end as well. I recognize that you put a lot of effort perfecting it already.

After several tries using various search phrases, I used “glasses fall from pocket”. Your site was the second one listed using this phrase. I bought yours because it seemed the most practical. Time will tell!

Peter,
Thank you for your order and comments on how you found our site. I would like to add your comment to our website. May I use your full name or would you prefer to be anonymous?
Thanks again,

I’d prefer to be anonymous. By the way, the clip didn’t have quite enough tension when used with a dress shirt (glasses fell out due to the thinner material of the dress shirt) so I went ahead and reconfigured it slightly to increase the tension.

Great idea though!
