A San Diego
tennis player weary of his glasses slipping during play has invented
eyeglass retainers that work without eyeglass cords or straps.
The WedGees
eyeglass glove design rely on a material from another sport,
surfing. Neoprene, a synthetic rubber commonly used to make wet
suits, is cut into a small, wedge-shaped sleeve that fits neatly
over the end of each earpiece of an eyeglass, securing it behind the
ear.
The neoprene
is positioned behind the ear to secure the eyeglasses. It holds the
eyeglasses in place, yet you don't have a strap around your head.
They fit most
glasses frames, including safety prescription glasses.
"They also
relieve temple pressure from glasses and can be worn by both adults
and children for sports, play or work" "They're especially good for
little children, who don't have large bridges in their noses; so
they are always fussing with their glasses."
