It all started on a bike ride... Teddy Shalon and his friend stopped for a quick break when his friend handed him his iPhone and asked him to read a text message from his son. “Is there something wrong with your son? ".   “No, I just don't have my reading glasses on me and I can't read the message."  That's when Teddy realized smart phones are useless for people without their reading glasses. On the ride back the idea of ThinOptics was born  -- glasses that are always with you, right there on you... It all started on a bike ride... Teddy Shalon and his friend stopped for a quick break when his friend handed him his iPhone and asked him to read a text message from his son. “Is there something wrong with your son? ".   “No, I just don't have my reading glasses on me and I can't read the message."  That's when Teddy realized smart phones are useless for people without their reading glasses. On the ride back the idea of ThinOptics was born  -- glasses that are always with you, right there on your phone. The Solution Team ThinOptics has created and tested over 200 prototype glasses culminating in a Beta product test on over 800 users.  The two year development process resulted in the product being offered today which meets the following challenges: Flexible The glasses must be flexible in order to fit snugly on every nose, so nitinol (the same titanium alloy used in heart stents) was leveraged in the nose bridge The glasses must feel stable, so countless frame designs were tested on a variety of noses The nose pads need good adhesion without compromising comfort, so many different materials were tested Mobile The glasses must be thin and light to disappear on your mobile phone To make the glasses very compact, the ear pieces were removed Traditional bulky frames wouldn't fit into a phone case, so a new frame design was required Vision The optics need to be comfortable with everyday use, so the same optical-grade Poly-Carbonate used in high-end prescription glasses was deployed The glasses must survive rugged use, so bullet-proof glass was used Our mission is to finally solve the problem that has plagued glasses since they were invented in 1286: where are my glasses?  Over time we will deliver an expanded line-up optical and accessory solutions enabling your glasses to be Always with You. The Team While Teddy focused on making glasses stay on noses, he recruited co-founders to help make his optical dreams a reality: David Chute ensures ThinOptics make their way onto a multitude of noses from the shelves of retailers.  David is an optics industry maven bringing 25 years of experience building and licensing eyewear businesses with large companies such as Marchon and Nike, but also as an entrepreneur.
