The Keepons Flexi-aperture System, the secret to the brand's success in stopping slipping glasses

March 21, 2012 - PRLog -- Recently there’s been a lot of news about Keepons eyeglasses retainers. Partly because of their comprehensive marketing campaign, but mostly because people have tried Keepons and discovered that it really works in a way that previous generation eyewear retainers did not.

The secret to their success is their patented flexi-aperture center also called the tunnel or hollow center which runs through each and every Keepons model. This hollow middle in much the same way that macaroni has a hollow middle allows Keepons to be slid onto, in other words thread over, your eyeglass frame temples. Once in place, another portion of the Keepons retainer gently hook over your ears and this stops the forward movement of your glasses which causes glasses to slip.

“In fact, thinking about it like macaroni is the perfect metaphor,” says Michael Wong, marketing manager for chamightlike.com. “That’s basically the design idea behind Keepons. We wanted something that could be worn on your temple tips instead of replacing the entire temple tip with the curly hook kind.”

So far Keepons sales have been brisk as there are estimated to be hundreds of millions of eyeglass wearers around the world and so far no one has effectively dealt with the problem of eyeglass slipping that is, until now.

“We’re not the first type of eyeglass retainer, but this is definitely next generation stuff we’re talking about here. Keepons is science, it’s analysis about why glasses slip and neutralizing that why. We took inspiration from previous generation models and assembled all the good points into making a super eyewear retainer to prevent your glasses from slipping at a price point that’s easy on the pocket for everyone,” said Wong.

Keepons is indeed next generation where previously there were cloth-based eyeglass retainers, but these weren’t so popular due to the fact that fabric too easily starts to smell bad after constantly absorbing moisture from sweating.

“That’s why we went with silicone for the material composition of Keepons. And not just any type of silicone either. Keepons is engineered from advanced type silicone to be tough and rigid and yet and the same time it must be flexible to thread over the wide part of your temple tips and then shrink back to its original shape once it is positioned on the more narrow part of your eyeglass temple tips. Yeah, this is cutting edge science applied to a frustrating daily problem.”
