About 101 Glasses

Our Story

Born from Necessity, Perfected through Innovation

The idea for 101 Glasses was born on a fishing trip in the Pacific Northwest. A group of friends, tired of constantly switching between reading glasses for tying knots and sunglasses for scanning the water, decided there had to be a better way. One day, someone taped both pairs together, and the first prototype of 101 Glasses was born.

What started as a makeshift solution evolved into something revolutionary. After two years of development, testing, and refinement, we proudly launched our line of dual lens eyewear featuring 3 reader powers and 4 lens options to choose from.

Why 101 Glasses?
