ThinOptics readers solve the problem that has plagued seniors since Smartphones were invented. The phones are smart, but the info is too small to read. ThinOptics to the rescue. These tiny glasses perch comfortably on your nose then store away on your cell phone. No more fumbling for bulky reading glasses or passing glasses around.

After millions of dollars of research, these virtually indestructible readers were introduced last year, and they rocketed to popularity with seniors. Now they come in vivid frame colors as well as traditional black and clear. In addition. a new magnification level has been added.

Teddy Shalon, the inventor and CEO of ThinOptics, is a serial entrepreneur who spent many years innovating in the Life Sciences. He’s constantly looking for ways to help people enjoy healthy and active lifestyles.

The “ThinOptics moment” happened on a bike ride with his friend. When they stopped for a break, his friend handed Teddy his iPhone and asked him to read a text message from his son. “Is there something wrong with your son?” Teddy asked.

“No, I just don’t have my reading glasses, and I can’t read the message,” his friend said. That’s when Teddy realized that phones are useless if people don’t have their reading glasses. On the ride back, the idea of ThinOptics was born—glasses that are always with you, right there on your phone.

Here are some of the nitty-gritty details. ThinOptics are powerful, durable and fit virtually every nose. They’re made from thermo-injection molded
