About EYE TIE®
Eyeglass wearers have a universal problem – dropping, misplacing and damaging eyeglasses. Now there’s a universal solution to keep eyeglasses near – the EYE TIE® clip. Gone are the days of simply affixing or propping eyeglasses to clothing, handbags or placing them on top of your head, in hopes that it won’t result in fallen, broken or lost glasses. EYE TIE® conveniently allows users to secure their important eyewear so they are within arms reach when not in use.
Who can wear EYE TIE®
EYE TIE® is for anyone wearing any type of eyewear including but not limited to sunglasses, readers, prescription, computer, safety and sport eyeglasses. Perfect for teachers, health care professionals, retirees, business professionals and more!
What is EYE TIE®?
EYE TIE® is a clip that attaches to the inside or outside of the eyewear temple of your glasses so there’s no more scratches from dropping your glasses.
With EYE TIE®, you can attach your glasses to shirts, pants, purses, dress shirts and blazer pockets, button holes and so much more! You may apply the EYE TIE® to either side of eyewear temple. This includes the inside of the eyeglass temple, too.
Where do you place the EYE TIE®?
Our research shows if you’re right-handed, you may prefer EYE TIE® on the right temple and left side of the temple if you are left-handed. You may consider placing your EYE TIE® inside the temple if you are concerned about entangling your long hair, especially if you tend to be a hugger. Most importantly, please do not use the EYE TIE®on zippers.
How does EYE TIE® save customers time and money?
One of the most common challenges for eye wearers is simply storing glasses within your arm’s reach. EYE TIE® lessens the opportunity to lose, drop, scratch or stretch glasses.
What are the steps to put on the EYE TIE®?
Ensure your eyewear temple surface is clean.
1. Simply peel the adhesive from the EYE TIE®
2. Place on the temple of the pair of eyewear.
3. Once placed on your eyeglasses hold the EYE TIE® firmly to the temple
for 30-60 seconds.
4. Now you’re ready to wear and clip your eyewear with your new EYE TIE® and place on your pants, shirt, purses, etc… when not in use.
How will EYE TIE® attach to my eyewear?
EYE TIE® uses an everyday household adhesive to attach to eyewear temples. EYE TIE® may be worn near or around water with no adverse effects as it is moisture resistant. General rinsing of eyewear with EYE TIE® is acceptable. Attempt to avoid over soaking EYE TIE® as this may affect the adhesives lifespan.
Does the adhesive leave a residue when removed?
When the EYE TIE® is removed for replacement, the adhesive residue peels right off the temple of the eyewear with simple dishwashing soap.
How to replace a worn-out EYE TIE®?
To replace a worn-out EYE TIE® with a new one, first apply a drop of dish soap around the product then carefully pull the old EYE TIE® with your finger nail and peel it off the temple of the glasses. Gently wash the eyewear temple with warm water and dishwashing soap to remove adhesive. Allow to dry before applying new EYE TIE®.
EYE TIE® is made from which type of steel?
EYE TIE® is made of common stainless steel metal.
What are the color options?
EYE TIE® currently comes in three colors: Silver, Rose Gold and Charcoal Black
What’s the size?
EYE TIE® is small enough to fit most eyewear temples. EYE TIE® is approximately 1 ½ inch and ¼ wide.
Can these fit on my wireframe glasses?
EYE TIE® is best attached to eyeglasses temples with dimensions of width from 3/16” and wider. The current version of EYE TIE® is not necessarily recommended for wired temples. New Product development is coming soon to address wired temple glasses!
How long will my EYE TIE® last?
The EYE TIE® is disposable with a product life of 4 months; and will even last up to one year depending on the usage patterns of the customer. We like to compare the lifespan of the EYE TIE® to that of a toothbrush. After many uses, you will need a new one. However, if a customer is unsatisfied, returns are eligible up to 30 days from date of purchase with proof of purchase.
How do I clean my EYE TIE®?
EYE TIE® does not require heavy cleaning. Apply normal cleaning procedures used for eyewear. Do not over soak EYE TIE® while attached to glasses. Simply clean eyewear as normal.
