Every year, billions of dollars are spent to engineer ever more beautiful, high-resolution displays for our computers and phones, but the same kind of energy has not been allocated toward reading glasses. As a result, there has been very little evolution since their invention in the late 13th century. Today over 30 million Americans buy two pairs of reading glasses every year. Two pairs of brittle, yet bulky reading glasses every year. Two pairs of clunky reading glasses that either break or get lost. Every. Single. Year. In this day and age, you and your eyesight deserve more. Technology has delivered convenience to our fingertips, yet we still fumble for our reading glasses. They never seem to be there when we need them. Besides, can you imagine bringing a conventional pair of reading glasses on a 20 mile bike ride? At ThinOptics, our concept is simple enough -- since your smartphone is always with you, we set out to develop thin, comfortable reading glasses that fit on the back of your phone.

Some ideas come to us in a dream and some, like ThinOptics, during a long bike ride. My friend had forgotten his reading glasses. He was frustrated, and asked me to read a text message on his cell phone because he couldn’t see it. During the next twenty miles of riding, I developed the idea of putting reading glasses onto the backs of all cell phones." - Teddy Shalon, Inventor & Chairman of ThinOptics
