Glens Backup Glasses Fold Up Into a Credit Card Sized Case

True backup glasses, these specs have been precisely designed to be carried absolutely everywhere with the wearer, slipping conveniently into a pocket, a wallet or even serving as a bookmark.

Indeed, these compact eyeglasses are thinner than your debit card and can be folded up into a case within the dimensions of your smartphone protector pocket.
