You’ve probably seen it before—that curious moment when someone spots a pair of CliC glasses and asks, “Wait… do those come apart?” Yep, they do. And no, the magnetic connection is not a gimmick—it’s a core part of the design that makes CliC glasses actually wearable. Here’s why.
Not Just Clever—Completely Necessary
CliC glasses are built differently. Thanks to our adjustable temples, each pair is fitted to your head for a secure, personalized fit. But that snug fit would make it nearly impossible (or at the very least, super uncomfortable) to slide the glasses on over your face like a standard pair.
Enter: the magnetic front connection.
That simple "click" at the bridge? It’s what lets you open your CliCs, place them comfortably around your neck, and then snap them into place in front—without any stretching, squeezing, or hair-pulling. It’s the only reason this unique, form-fitting design works so effortlessly in real life.
Easy On. Easy Off. Always With You.
Found on every pair of our glasses, the magnetic connection offers a simple click to connect and a quick pull apart to remove. The permanent headband ensures your glasses stay with you when you’re not using them. Instead of pushing them up on your head (where they stretch or fall), or setting them down (and forgetting where), you just let them rest around your neck—ready when you need them again.
And unlike glasses that dangle from a string or lanyard, CliCs sit at chest level and most styles can lay around your neck in an open position, thanks to our 180-degree hinges. Wearing them disconnected makes them feel less restrictive—like they’re part of your routine, not in the way of it.
Engineered for Real Life
The CliC design was built to solve an everyday frustration: taking glasses on and off throughout the day. That’s why we pair our magnetic connection with a built-in headband that keeps your eyewear in place—without flopping, swinging, or getting in the way.
Choose from soft or rigid headbands, each offering structure, support, and a close-to-the-body fit that feels intentional—not like an afterthought. Better yet, our adjustable temples allow you to fine-tune the fit for all-day comfort.
Small Magnet. Big Impact.
The magnets we use aren’t ordinary. They’re made from neodymium—one of the strongest permanent magnets available. First developed in the 1980s for industrial use, these powerful little connectors keep your glasses reliably closed when you’re wearing them and smoothly release when you’re not.
Translation? They hold strong, and make wearing glasses feel less like a hassle and more like second nature.
Designed to Be Worn, Not Forgotten
Back in 1996, Ron Lando created the original CliC frame with one thing in mind: keep glasses where you need them—on you. Decades later, the innovation still holds. Whether you’re a reader, sunwear lover, or prescription lens wearer, CliC’s permanent headband gives you convenience without compromise.
And if you’re still wondering if the magnets are “just for show,” try removing a pair of fitted CliCs without it—you’ll get the point pretty fast. With free exchanges and returns, there’s no reason not to try the eyewear that changes everything—including your track record of misplacing your readers.
