Los Altos, CA -- (SBWire) -- 05/15/2015 --A Silicon Valley entrepreneur has invented the first eyewear scientifically designed to improve posture. This unusual innovation is designed to correct an individual's head position. The head weighs as much as a bowling ball. Positioning it badly drags the shoulders and body forward and down, putting pressure on the back. Oppics PostureSpecs, newly developed in 2015, solves this problem with a "Health Strip" accurately located on each pair of eyeglasses and sunglasses.
The Health Strip works in a unique way. The lenses feature an individually etched area to create an opaque area that reminds wearers to keep their head up, naturally correcting and helping to improve posture. This strip is visible to the sunglass wearer, but not others.
A Harvard Study showed that improved posture leads to higher levels of testosterone. A University of Washington Study shows that increased testosterone leads to a longer life, while a New York Spine Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine Study showed poor posture adds dangerous weight to the cervical spine that can cause serious problems in later life. PostureSpecs wearers can enjoy the benefits of these studies that come with improved posture.
Oppics products currently include both clear eyeglasses and over 50 versions of sunglasses, ideal for the coming summer months.
A spokesperson for Oppics explained, "PostureSpecs is a revolutionary and elegantly simple new approach to correcting posture that uses vision as its primary guide. Preventing people from dropping their head reduces postural problems, and improves health. Our fashionable eyeglasses not only improve health, but you both look and feel better. Early adopters testimonials prove that PostureSpecs really work!"
