The reading classes are designed to comfortably wrap right around the wrist, so that they're quite literally always on hand. At the heart of the revolutionary design is [patented folding technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hinge-patent) that allows the frames to spring open and snap shut, forming a bracelet. The glasses are also advantageous for including interchangeable, flexible arms of different lengths for a perfect fit. EyeWris is being introduced to the world via a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-lite) crowdfunding campaign, where early backers are able to get their hands on glasses in three different magnification strengths: Mild, Medium and Strong.
