I have logged at least three eyeglasses projects in recent years, all by Telebrands and none successful (see my Flip Vision review for the history). So can Top Dog get different results?

In this case, my answer is yes. The problem with eyeglasses has been that they are just too easy to buy. To break through, you'd need something truly unique and exciting ... and I think the Top Dog & H-M team has nailed it! If this doesn't work, this is a probably a Siren category that should be avoided in the future.

S7 Analysis: This project stacks up pretty well against The SciMark Seven. The big challenge will be entering a crowded category that is full of cheap solutions.
