I hate glasses. There, I said it.
For years, I needed reading glasses but refused to use them. My brilliant solution? Pulling out my phone, opening the camera, and zooming in on whatever I needed to read.
Menus. Prescription bottles. Price tags. You name it — I was the woman squinting at her phone screen like she was trying to crack a code.
"Honey, what are you doing with your phone?"
I didn't realize how ridiculous I looked until my husband started doing it too. There we were, two grown adults, pointing our phones at restaurant menus like we were scanning QR codes that didn't exist.
Even when I considered getting reading glasses, one question stopped me every time: Where would I even put them?
Those bulky cases. The constant "Did I remember to pack them?" The inevitable crushing when they end up at the bottom of my bag under everything else.
My purse is already stuffed with things I consider higher priority. And my husband? He has no bag at all. Just pockets that are already full.
So we just... didn't bother. We accepted a life of squinting and phone-zooming and pretending we could read things we absolutely could not read.
That was until lunch with my friend Sarah.
Sarah needed to read the menu. But instead of the usual fumbling, she just reached behind her phone, slid out these sleek little glasses, and put them on.
"ThinOptics. They just live on my phone now."
— Sarah, already scanning the appetizersI watched her slip them back into this tiny case attached right to her phone case. The whole thing took maybe three seconds.
It seemed genius. These surprisingly stylish glasses, always there, never in the way.
I bought a pair for myself and my husband that same night.
I used to feel like I could never read anything. Menus were blurry. Labels were impossible. I'd hand my phone to my husband to zoom in for me, and he'd hand his phone to me to do the same.
Now? I don't even think about it. Reading just... happens. The glasses are always there when I need them and invisible when I don't.
The thing I worried about most — how they'd look on me — turned out to be a non-issue. Almost every single time I pull them out, someone compliments them. Waitresses, friends, strangers at the grocery store.
For something so convenient, they're oddly nice looking. And they sit surprisingly well right on the bridge of your nose, even without the traditional arms.
What Makes ThinOptics Different
After becoming slightly obsessed with these glasses, I did what I always do: I researched everything about them.
Here's what I learned.
They're Built From Space-Age Materials
The frames are made from Nitinol — a memory metal alloy originally developed for NASA. It's the same material used in medical stents and orthodontic wires.
What does that mean for you? These glasses are virtually indestructible.
They spring right back to their original shape. Every time.
No problem. The Nitinol frame handles it without a scratch.
Still fine. These glasses are built to survive real life.
The lenses are shatterproof polycarbonate, the same material used in bulletproof glass and astronaut helmet visors.
You can literally twist them, fold them, stuff them in your pocket — they'll always return to their original shape.
The Case Attaches to Any Phone
The slim case is about the size of two credit cards stacked together. It attaches to the back of any phone or phone case with a strong adhesive.
No bulk. No separate case to carry. No "Did I forget my glasses?" moments.
Your reading glasses are now everywhere your phone goes — which, let's be honest, is everywhere.
Available in Your Strength
ThinOptics come in four diopter strengths:
| Strength | Best For |
|---|---|

Not sure which strength you need? Most people who've never worn readers start with +1.50 or +2.00.

Don't Just Take My Word For It
I'm not the only one who felt this way. Over 5 million pairs sold. 17,000+ five-star reviews.
Here's one that sounds a lot like my experience:
"I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to talk about my ThinOptics. No longer do I need to be concerned with carrying a bulky reading glass case along with wallet, iPhone, etc. Whenever the time is right — reading menus, etc. — I pop them on. At first I thought others would laugh or think these are strange. Far from it. Everyone was amazed and couldn't wait to try them on. It's truly amazing how they stay fixed on your nose without any hassle and, I know you'll find this hard to believe, they actually look rather nice. It's truly a wonderful product."
Join the millions of ThinOptics enjoyers, just like Joe and I that already gave themselves the gift of sight.

Still on the fence? Here's what others are saying:
"Wow do I love these! They are very sturdy, extremely flexible, and very clear. I attached the little case to my phone case in about 5 seconds and the glasses stay in the case without falling out. These fit my nose perfectly. I can wear them low or up high and they fit super sturdy without being uncomfortable at all. One of the best purchases I've made in a long time. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could."
— "Crispeto" on Amazon"These readers are revolutionary. They sit securely on the nose without arms resting on ears. They are hard to shake off face without intentionally removing from nose. They are durable, resisting scratches, and comfortable. The icing on the cake is they come with the housing case that attaches easily to most all phone cases... therefore they are everywhere you take your phone."
