The Jaybs Story
From Imagination
to Reality
Jaybs began with a simple observation by an eye doctor: his patients' ears hurt. For over 300 years, no one thought to question why eyeglasses must sit on the ears. Dr. Abid-Alhamid Dahnoun did — and invented the world's first temple-mounted eyeglass frame.
The Inventor
Dr. Abid-Alhamid Dahnoun
Eye Doctor, Inventor & Founder
Dr. Dahnoun is an eye doctor who spent years listening to patients complain about the same problems — ears hurting, nose pinching, frames slipping. He realized the issue wasn't the fit. It was the fundamental design that hadn't changed since 1727.
First he focused on the ears — could frames work without touching them? Then the nose — could pads hold without screws? Through Vision Innovations Group LLC, he developed and patented a fundamentally new approach to eyewear construction: the temple-mounted eyeglass frame.

The Journey
The Problem
300 Years Unchanged
Since 1727, the fundamental design of eyeglasses has remained unchanged — a front frame sitting on your ears and pinching your nose. Dr. Dahnoun saw patients every day suffering from ear pain, temple pressure, and nose discomfort. No one was questioning the design itself.
The Question
What If We Remove the Ears?
As an eye doctor, Dr. Abid-Alhamid Dahnoun asked a simple but radical question: what if eyeglass frames didn't need to sit on your ears at all? What if the lenses could be held by the temples themselves?
Imagination
From Sketch to Structure
What began as a sketch became an engineering challenge. A temple-mounted architecture that anchors lenses independently through the temple arms — eliminating the conventional front frame entirely. Extensive prototyping refined every detail: internal concavity, press-fit nose pads, precision hinges.

Reality
Imagination Becomes Reality
Two product families — Classic and Modern — each in four lens tints. A matte black prototype in hand. Jaybs is actively seeking manufacturing, distribution, and investment partners to bring this 300-year overdue innovation to market.
The 300-Year Problem
No design changes in over 300 years.
Since Benjamin Martin introduced the modern temple arm in 1727, the fundamental architecture of eyeglasses has remained the same: a front frame resting on the ears and nose. Every "innovation" since has been cosmetic — materials, colors, shapes — but never the structure itself.
Jaybs is the first eyeglass frame to fundamentally rethink how lenses are held on the face. The temple-mounted architecture eliminates the conventional front frame, mounting each lens independently from the temple arms. It took an eye doctor — someone who saw the problem every day — to finally ask: why?
