Love ’em or hate ’em, Sclafani and Cicero’s design became synonymous with New Year’s. “We were the only ones selling them for about nine years. Then I started seeing signs that they were being made in China,” Sclafani says. “The first sign was when Newsweek did an article on China, and in that article was a picture of people in China wearing glasses that looked like ours, but I could see that they weren’t. That was the first sign of the end.” “I call it my box of bad news.” New decades are exciting, but anyone who was alive when 1999 rolled into 2000 knows that new millenniums are the real cause for celebration.

People who knew the patenting system told us from the start that there would be no real way to protect them from rip-offs,” Sclafani explains, adding that, in hindsight, the entire U.S. patent system felt like a scam. “They make you jump through a lot of hoops and spend a lot of money to get the patent, and once you get it, they flood you with offers to buy ‘gold-plated plaques to frame your patent!’ but they never mention the fact that when it comes down to it, you’re not going to be protected at all.” Have a great time with your friends and take fun photos with these New Year 2024 Glasses.

Kinda hilariously, the companies that ripped off Sclafani and Cicero are hurtling toward an interesting challenge: After 2020, there aren’t many opportunities for seamless glasses designs . Millions of people still wear New Year’s Eve glasses, but few know the men behind them . Not that it bothers Sclafani: “There was nothing like them before, and when I see somebody put them on and start laughing, it’s all worth it. They just really made people laugh out loud because it was such a goofy, stupid idea. But it worked!”

If the astigmatism element of your prescription has changed, it can take longer to adjust. It may seem like your vision is ‘sloping’ or ‘distorted’ or your eyes feels ‘swimmy’ when you move your head around.Within days of their thunderbolt, Sclafani took “a big piece of green wire” and bent it into the shape of 1991 glasses. Next up? All the hard stuff. Not only did they need to learn how to navigate the U.S. patent system, but they also had to learn how to make, sell and ship the glasses at scale. “We had to learn everything as we went, which meant very long days,” Sclafani says. Sclafani wearing his creation From 2000 to 2009 our foolish glasses-loving society was blessed with conveniently placed zeros that could easily be transformed into lenses. We peered into 2👀0 like innovative style icons, and the concept seamlessly followed us from 2👀1 to 2👀9. In 2👁️1👁️, however, we could sense that the party was coming to an end.

Even though Sclafani knew being ripped off was inevitable, he says he never imagined being ripped off on such a grand scale: “I figured, ‘I’ve got all these customers, and they’ll be loyal to me.’ But I was really wrong about that. They dropped me like a hot potato.” But Sclafani didn’t quit — not yet. Sales diminished over the decade, but he kept selling the glasses. Finally, he decided 2009 would be his last year. Besides, he knew the designs would suffer: “2010 didn’t work well at all.”Sclafani’s lowest moment was having to drive 40,000 of his year-2000 glasses to the dump. “We had geared up for the year 2000, but didn’t realize how many rip-offs there would be,” he tells me. “So we ended up with 40,000 left over that we had to haul to the dump. It was so sad. That’s about when I called it quits.” This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources.
