The Two-Point Torture: Distributing the Weight on a Wider Face

It usually happens a couple of hours into your day. You are driving down the highway or working in the yard, and you start to feel a sharp, piercing ache on the sides of your head.

When you finally take your sunglasses off and rub your temples, you realize exactly where the pain is coming from. It isn't a general headache. The pain is isolated to two very specific, deeply indented spots right on your temporal bones.

Welcome to the "Two-Point Torture." If you have a wider face, you have likely been enduring this your entire life without realizing that it is a massive engineering failure.

The Physics of the "Two-Point Torture"

To understand why your sunglasses are hurting you, you have to look at basic ergonomics.

Standard, "one-size-fits-all" sunglasses are manufactured with a relatively narrow front frame and rigid plastic arms. When a guy with an average-sized head wears them, the arms rest gently along the entire side of his head, distributing the grip evenly.

But when a big guy puts on those exact same frames, the geometry completely fails.

Because your head is wider than the frame, the plastic arms are forced to stretch outward. They physically cannot wrap around your skull. Instead, they pivot. The entire clamping force of the tight, stretched plastic gets concentrated onto just two tiny pressure points—the protruding bones of your temples.

All day long, 100% of the grip strength is acting like a pair of pliers, drilling directly into your skull. No wonder you have a migraine by 3:00 PM.

The "Heavy" Illusion

Here is another frustrating side effect: The Two-Point Torture makes your glasses feel incredibly heavy.

When a frame is only making contact with your head at two pinpoint locations, the glasses lose their balance. They feel front-heavy, they slide down your nose when you sweat, and they feel like a massive weight on your face, even if they are made of lightweight plastic.

The problem isn't the weight. The problem is terrible weight distribution.

The MAXJULI Solution: Dispersing the Pressure

You don't need to tough it out, and you definitely don't need to buy a pair of oversized, heavy goggles just to get some relief. You need eyewear engineered with the correct geometry.

We designed MAXJULI frames to completely eliminate the Two-Point Torture by focusing on ergonomic pressure distribution.

• True Wide-Fit Geometry: By physically widening the front chassis of our frames, we ensure that the arms travel straight back. Instead of acting like a clamp, the arms sit flush against a much larger surface area of your head.

• Even Weight Distribution: Because MAXJULI frames properly wrap your head, the physical weight of the glasses is dispersed evenly across your ears, your nose, and the sides of your head. They feel virtually weightless, no matter how long you wear them.

Stop Punishing Your Temples

You wouldn't wear a pair of steel-toe boots that only squeezed your big toe. So why are you wearing sunglasses that drill into your temples?

Stop settling for standard frames that punish your face. Upgrade to MAXJULI, distribute the pressure, and finally experience what it feels like to wear sunglasses that actually fit your anatomy.
