Never worry about forgetting your reading glasses again.

At CES 2016, I discovered ThinOPTICS. These are easy-to-carry “Always with You” reading glasses. Up to June 2016, there were three ways to get them. You could buy the ThinOPTICS glasses with a universal pod to attach to the back of your existing phone, phone case, e-reader, tablet, etc. for about $20. Or you could buy them as part of a smart case for later versions of the iPhones and Galaxy phones for about $30. (As of 7/7/16 they are offering two pairs of glasses with each order for the same price.) But now ThinOPTICS is introducing a new convenient keychain model. The new ThinOPTICS keychain case carries the reading glasses folded inside a sleek pod that easily hooks onto your key ring. With a swipe of a finger, the glasses are gently ejected and automatically unforld so users can grab them for perusing emails or any small print. The keychain case is light, probably less than half an ounce.ThinOPTICS glasses are as thin as two credit cards and come equipped with bulletproof lenses and tensile polycarbonate frames. The glasses are so durable and indestructible that the company backs them with a Free Replacement Forever policy. The keychain case is available in silver and black, with multiple strength options including Low Range (+1.50), Mid Range (+2.00) and High Range (+2.50). The keychain version retails for about $25 and currently includes two pairs of glasses. More info on all the models is at the company website.
