If you wear glasses like I do these are summer must-haves!

These silicone nose strips are way better than the default nose pads because they distribute the weight of your glasses better than just nose pads. 

My nose would have two red dots at the end of the day from the pads pushing down constantly, and it was especially bad when I wore a baseball cap, since that would put more pressure on the glasses and consequently my nose.
​
These days I can't seem to wear my contacts for much longer than 2-3 hours, but thanks to these comfy silicone nose strips, I can wear my glasses comfortably anytime I want and give my dry eyes a break!

These awesome clip-on shades for rectangular eyeglasses like mine are also available for larger & rounder eyeglasses!

Also, check out this amazing eyeglass repair kit —you can repair your own glasses over and over for under 20 bucks! 

I keep one at my desk at school and one in my desk at home!

As you can see in the picture, it comes with assorted sizes of replacement screws/bolts, washers, and nuts, as well as replacement nose pads!

Try these out and let us know what you think!
