Yep, they’re feather-light, grip with gentle pressure and can be moved up or down your nose for optimal fit and comfort.

Here’s where we get technical. Every ThinOptics Reader is made of shatterproof, thermo-injection molded, optical-grade polycarbonate. The bridge is made from a shape-memory metal called Nitinol, which is 10x more elastic than spring steel and encased in medical-grade silicone tubing.

We use the same lens material regularly used in high-end prescription glasses. The lenses are made by one of the most advanced optical lens manufacturers in the world.

Noses come in all shapes and sizes, but ThinOptics readers have been designed to fit the vast majority. They can be positioned higher up or down the nose for a comfortable fit. We’ve tested hundreds of combinations of nose pad angles and widths over two years to arrive at the optimal design. On most noses, ThinOptics can be worn high up in front of the eyes, or low down so you can peer over it when not reading. Most people can find a location that is secure and comfortable. For those that can’t, we offer a 30-day, money-back-fit guarantee.

Skiing, skydiving and swimming, yes. But under normal reading conditions the highly elastic bridge and grip-sensitive nose pads ensure a snug fit. We designed ThinOptics to stay on securely, even as you move side to side, or look down to eat your salad or finish a crossword puzzle.
