The magnetic design eliminates the need to have screws to hold the rim and the temples of the eyeglasses. What makes the glasses more functional are the metal pad arms and PVC nose pads to allow anyone with different face shapes to wear the glasses.

Buyers also have the benefit of not having to spend money on lost spare parts, such as screws because they don't need or have to tighten them.

"This magnetic hinge delivers long-term durability: the temples of the frame will never become loose over time as the magnet system replaces the reliance on screws to hold the rim and the temples together," according to Studio Gooris.

Another way magnets are helping glasses wearers is through an innovative eyeglass holder. The product offered by online retailer Nifty-Nifty allows consumers to wear the holder on a blouse or shirt using the product's built-in magnet to keep track of eyeglasses. Wendy Miller, co-owner of Nifty-Nifty.com, said the advantage of the Specs-In-A-Sec Magnetic Eyeglass Holder is helps people quickly find their glasses.
