No Se Eyewear was founded by Australian Shane Dillon and Vietnamese Ngan Kim Duong, a husband-and-wife design team based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The idea started in 2024 with a very simple frustration: why did wearing glasses all day still mean finishing the day with marks and pressure on your nose?
Between commuting, working, sport, raising a family and everything else that fills a normal day, Shane and Ngan were tired of taking their glasses off and seeing the familiar marks left behind by traditional nose pads.
So they decided to rethink how glasses sit on the nose.
What followed was almost two years of design, prototyping, testing and adjustment before the first No Se frame was ready for release.
Rather than supporting the glasses on two small nose pads, the T22 was developed around the nasion, the natural recessed contour at the top of the nose between the eyes.
The result is the No Se nasion saddle, designed to follow this natural contour and distribute support across a broader area while the angle of the saddle helps minimise downward pressure. The lightweight frame can also be adjusted for a snug fit around the head, helping keep the glasses positioned correctly throughout the day.
Nearly two years in the making
Although No Se began in 2024, we deliberately took our time getting the design right.
The first T22 is only becoming available to the public in August 2026.
For the six months before launch, prototypes travelled with us, our friends and early adopters around the world and became part of normal everyday life.
They have been worn:
- on boat trips through the Philippines
- riding off-road motorcycles through the backroads of Vietnam
- through long days coding in front of a computer
- on daily commutes in Hong Kong and Japan
- on shopping adventures through Seoul
- through long days on Australian golf courses
- playing tennis, pickleball and padel
- travelling, working, exercising and simply living in them all day
We weren't trying to create glasses that only felt comfortable when you first put them on.
We wanted glasses you could put on in the morning, forget about, and still feel comfortable wearing at the end of the day.
After almost two years of development and six months of real-world testing, we are finally happy with the design.
Now, for the first time, we're making No Se available to everyone.
We hope you love wearing them as much as we do.
