When we tell you about this eyewear from ThinOptics, you might just think you’ve time travelled way into the future. While you haven’t, let me tell you ThinOptics’ cutting-edge reading glasses and sunglasses truly are years ahead of their time. Let’s find out why.

Born in the Silicon Valley, ThinOptics uses biomedical and technological expertise to create the thinnest and most remarkable eyewear in the world. Their reading glasses and sunglasses are made from medical grade materials, like the super-elastic metal alloy used in heart stents and incredibly slim, bulletproof-strong polycarbonate lenses, resulting in eyewear that’s ultra-thin and feather-light.

Gone are the days when you lost your sunglasses while you were traveling or forgot your readers at home. With ThinOptics, you can literally carry your must-have pair with you on your phone, attached to your keyring, or in your wallet. These styles are super slim and even fold into themselves making them fit right into your pocket. And no, we’re definitely not exaggerating.

Booked: ThinOptics Reading Glasses

Thin, versatile and incomparably lightweight, ThinOptics reading glasses come in a variety of lens powers, rimmed and rimless styles that fit snugly on your nose even when you’re being highly active and can be moved up and down for an optimal fit. With lenses that are made by one of the most advanced optical lens manufacturers in the world and a medical-grade silicone tubing encased bridge that is 10x more elastic than spring steel, these readers are made of shatterproof, thermo-injection moulded, optical-grade polycarbonate. If all this techno-jazz wasn’t enough to have you completely impressed, the glasses come with a beautifully designed, elegantly brushed aluminium case that can be attached to your phone or your wallet and even slipped discreetly into your back pocket.

Sun-Days: ThinOptics Sunglasses

Polarized to eliminate glare and give maximum protection against the harmful UV rays of the sun, these sunglasses come in the classic round and aviator shapes that are guaranteed to keep you looking cool. The elastic titanium, shape-memory alloy bridge preserves fit and prevents breakage and while the polarized lenses eliminate excess blue light and allow 10-16% of the available light to pass through, the anti-reflective back coat cuts out those annoying back reflections so you can see better. They also come with a felt-lined, durable, as-thin-as-a-passport aluminium case with a magnetic latch that not only fits in your pocket but also protects your sunnies from bending and lenses from getting scratched when you push them into tight spaces.
