DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] Reference will now be made in detail to the present embodiments of the disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

[0030] In order to help readers clearly understand the assembly relationship and orientation, a coordinate system is indicated in the drawings, including a first axis A1, a second axis A2, and a third axis A3.

[0031] In recent years, AR glasses have been extensively applied in various fields, including entertainment, education, industry, and medical fields, as well as in our daily lives. The market demand for AR glasses has been steadily growing. To enhance the wearing experience, more emphasis is placed on lightweight and comfortable design when making improvement to AR glasses.

[0032] For users with myopia, when using the AR glasses they would need to install an additional myopia lens on these AR glasses. This usually requires assembling and disassembling the nosepiece to install and uninstall, respectively, the additional myopia lens, which causes inconvenience for the users. Moreover, the addition of the myopia lens increases the weight of AR glasses and causes discomfort while the AR glasses are being worn.

[0033] In order to provide a more comfortable wearing experience, the present disclosure offers an eyeglass frame and a pair of glasses that can reduce assembly and disassembly steps for the users, which enhances comfort and efficiently address the discomfort issues users encounter while wearing AR glasses.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is an eyeglass frame 100 according to one embodiment of this disclosure. In FIG. 1, the eyeglass frame 100 includes a lens fixing portion 110, a connection portion 120, and a nosepiece 130. The lens fixing portion 110 is configured to fix a lens 111. The connection portion 120 is connected to the lens fixing portion 110. The nosepiece 130 is connected between the lens fixing portion 110 and the connection portion 120. In some embodiments, the nosepiece 130 may only connect one of the lens fixing portion 110 and the connection portion 120. The connection portion 120 and the nosepiece 130 respectively extend in different directions relative to the lens fixing portion 110.

[0035] In some embodiments, the lens fixing portion 110 has a fixed portion 1101. The lens 111 has a first surface 1111 and a second surface 1112. The first surface 1111 is near the user's eyes, while the second surface 1112 is away from the user's eyes. In some embodiments, the lens fixing portion 110 is fixed to the lens 111 by extending the fixed portion 1101 to the second surface 1112 and used a locking component 112 from the first surface 1111 to secure the lens 111. In some embodiments, the locking component 112 is a screw, which penetrates the lens 111 to lock it to the fixed portion 1101. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0036] In some embodiments, the connection portion 120 comprises a bridge portion 1201 and a connection arm 1202 that extended away from the bridge portion 1201.

The user can easily install the eyeglass frame 100 on the glasses 400 without complicated steps to address the myopia issue. Therefore, the user can enjoy the wearing experience of AR glasses combined with the myopia lens. This improves the usability of AR glasses.

[0053] As described herein, the present disclosure provides an eyeglass frame and a pair of glasses to improve the comfort level and the user experience while wearing the AR glasses. The eyeglass frame of the present disclosure adopts a one-piece design and pairs with the AR glasses having a connection slot, which not only simplifies the process of lens assembly and disassembly for the user, but also making the installation quicker and more convenient. Due to the lightweight design of the eyeglass frame with myopia lenses, it also does not add any burden to the user. Moreover, the eyeglass frame becomes more comfortable to wear due to the rubber cover design, which alleviates discomfort from prolonged wearing of the eyeglass frames. Therefore, whether for extended reading, computer use, or outdoor activities, the eyeglass frame and glasses of the present disclosure can provide users with long-lasting comfort, allowing them to focus on their daily life activities and work without any discomfort or interference from wearing glasses.

[0054] The eyeglass frame and glasses of the present disclosure offer users multiple options. When the user has no myopia issues, the glasses can be used alone for an AR experience. However, for users with refractive problems such as myopia or hyperopia, different styles of eyeglass frames can be paired with the AR glasses, not only enhancing wearing comfort but also providing a variety of aesthetic styles.

[0055] Although the present disclosure has been described in considerable detail with reference to certain embodiments thereof, other embodiments are possible. Therefore, the spirit and scope of the appended claims should not be limited to the description of the embodiments contained herein.

[0056] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the present disclosure without departing from the scope or spirit of the disclosure. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the present disclosure cover modifications and variations of this disclosure provided they fall within the scope of the following claims.
