Eyeglasses (10), in particular of the folding type, composed of a front part (11) including respective lens elements (12, 12) and elements (14, 14) for hooking to the wearer's face, the front part (11) including first and second lens elements (12, 12) which are connected to each other by corresponding bridge members (16) including a respective bridge body (18) and elements (20, 20) for fastening the bridge body to the respective first and second lens element (12, 12). The elements for fastening the body to the respective first and second lens elements (12, 12) include, or are in the form of, corresponding wire-like members, in particular metal wire (20, 20), which are adapted to define respective elements for articulating and rotating the bridge body (18) relative to the lens elements (12, 12).

The disclosure herein describes an apparatus for dual-frame eyeglasses that include a foundation eyeglass frame that may be worn on the user's head, and a pivot eyeglass frame that is rigidly coupled to the foundation eyeglass frame via a pair of pivot mechanisms. The pivot eyeglass frame may be substantially similar in form and profile to the foundation eyeglass frame. The pivot eyeglass frame may be configured to incrementally rotate about the pivot mechanism from a first position that substantially overlaps a user's line of sight through to a second position that is angularly offset away from the user's line of sight. Additionally, the foundation eyeglass frame may include a nose bridge that separates into two elements at a coupling point on the nose bridge to facilitate each half of the foundation eyeglass frame folding into a separate, compact form.

An eyewear system including eyeglasses and a case, the eyeglasses having a first lens, a second lens, and a bendable bridge disposed between the first lens and second lens, the bendable bridge having a spring providing a spring force when the bridge is bent from a rest position, the eyeglasses being adapted to move from a wearable configuration in which the first and second lens do not overlap to a stored configuration in which the first and second lenses at least partially overlap, the bendable bridge being bent from its rest position in the stored configuration, the case having an opening through which the eyeglasses pass during insertion and guides sized and configured with respect to the eyeglasses to engage and fold the eyeglasses against spring force of the bridge to the stored configuration during insertion of the eyeglasses through the opening and into the case.

A virtual or augmented reality headset is provided having a frame, a pair of virtual or augmented reality eyepieces, and an interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism. The frame includes opposing arm members and a bridge positioned intermediate the opposing arm members. The adjustment mechanism is coupled to the virtual or augmented reality eyepieces and operable to simultaneously move the eyepieces to adjust the interpupillary distance of the eyepieces.

An eyeglasses frame including: a frame body, a first temple, a second temple, a first magnet, and a second magnet. The frame body is for supporting a pair of lenses. The first temple is pivotally coupled with the frame body about a first hinge and includes a first earpiece. The second temple is pivotally coupled with the frame body about a second hinge and includes a second earpiece. The first magnet is positioned at least partially within the first temple between the first hinge and the first earpiece. The second magnet is positioned at least partially within the second temple between the second hinge and the second earpiece. The first magnet and the second magnet are configured to be positioned adjacent each other and exert a closing force relative to each other when the first and second temples are pivoted, respectively, about the first and second hinges.

An apparatus includes a frame, a left temple, a right temple, a left end piece, a right end piece, a left hinge, and a right hinge. The frame includes a left side and a right side and the frame may support a plurality of lens. The frame of the apparatus that improves vision may be tilted to provide the lenses at varying angles and lock into place via a latching mechanism. The effect of the tilted lens provides significantly increased clarity and definition of vision, with no expensive custom lenses or magnification.
