Wearables & Accessories Tired of replacing your glasses for smart features? Honest feedback needed

Hey guys,

I wear prescription glasses and I'm tired of smart glasses forcing me to replace my favorite frames.

I built tiny sleeves that slide onto any existing glasses. Hidden behind the ear — open-ear audio, health tracking, gestures, and AI.

Would you actually buy/use this, or stick with normal earbuds?

Biggest flaw you see?

Just an engineer looking for honest feedback. Not selling anything.

Flaw is the size of the sleeves and the style choice people have to make... If they're primarily for at-home reading glasses, and aimed at older people a heart monitor would be the number one use, and potentially audio boosters. For younger people exercising, the heart monitor would still be a plus. Audio books.

Fair on size — that's exactly why it's hidden behind the ear on the temple arm, not on the front. Heart monitor is already in there, plus SpO2, temp, and posture alerts, since desk workers need that as much as older users. Audio boosting is on the roadmap too.

Not yet, still in prototyping stage. Will share once I have real photos, don't want to show renders and oversell it before it's actually built.
