At the risk of breaking into the 'engadget for the over 40 crowd' business, I have a new favorite thing:  La Loop. 

I had to get glasses when I was 8 years old, as a result of reading with a flashlight under my covers at night.  When I was 18 I got contacts, which I've worn all my life. 

Until I hit 40.  And couldn't read my computer screen, or a menu, or a newspaper - anything within arms length got blurry with my contacts on.  So for the past nine years, I've had glasses at work.   And my eyes have gotten progressively worse.  So now I have glasses stashed around at home, in my purse (my food looks better with glasses on now, never mind the menu), and at the office. 

Anyway, I was fortunate enough to have admired my friend Tim's fashionable "necklace" one night at dinner, as he smartly put his glasses through the ring (we were finishing "menu" stage at the time) and I was blown away.  Lucky me, a lovely envelope arrived in the mail a couple weeks later (thanks to dear Tim, who's generous and a big La Loop fan), and I had my very own La Loop! 

I tell you, they're the nicest eyeglass holders on the planet.  And if (ahem, when) I forget to take it off, I am not overly embarrassed by my own forgetfulness.

So if you're challenged by having to take glasses on and off (inside or out - they have sport loops for sunglasses, too!), check out La Loop.  Think of it as a necklace.  With function and form.
