Our Story
In 2007, Cāblz was born from a simple "aha" moment. Inventor Ron Williams, a medical orthopedic sales rep, found himself inspired when his glasses landed on a surgical cable used for securing large bone fractures. This sparked an idea that revolutionized the eyewear industry: an innovative retainer made from stainless steel cable that not only looked different but solved a common problem—keeping your eyewear off your neck. Cāblz became the first and only eyewear retainer to introduce a patented ball-bearing technology, providing comfort, security, and functionality unlike anything else on the market.
What Makes Cāblz Different?
