Tired of replacing your glasses for smart features? Honest feedback needed

Hey guys,

I wear prescription glasses and I'm tired of smart glasses forcing me to replace my favorite frames.

I built tiny sleeves that slide onto any existing glasses. Hidden behind the ear — open-ear audio, health tracking, gestures, and AI.

Would you actually buy/use this, or stick with normal earbuds?

Biggest flaw you see?

Just an engineer looking for honest feedback. Not selling anything.

Tired of replacing your glasses for smart features? Honest feedback needed

Hey guys,

I wear high-power prescription glasses and I'm tired of the tech industry ignoring us.

Every smart glasses product (Meta, etc.) forces you to throw away your current frames and buy expensive new ones. If your power changes, those glasses become useless.

As an engineer, I built Thrive — two tiny 4g sleeves that slide onto any existing glasses in seconds. No screws, no replacement.

Inside: open-ear audio, basic health tracking (HR, SpO2), posture alerts, head gestures, and voice AI. All hidden behind the ear.

Brutal honesty needed:

Would you actually buy something like this, or do you prefer normal earbuds?

What's the biggest flaw you see with putting tech behind the ear?

Not selling anything — just a tired engineer trying to decide if this is worth quitting my job for.

Thanks!
