ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for mounting auxiliary eyeglasses on conventional eyeglasses in which magnets having shaped surfaces are attached to appendages on the auxiliary eyeglasses mating with magnets having complimentary shaped surfaces mounted on the temple extensions of conventional eyeglasses. The magnets on the auxiliary eyeglasses are mounted in sockets formed on the appendages on the auxiliary eyeglass frame fit beneath the temple extensions on the conventional eyeglasses frame to hold the auxiliary frames in place solely by the magnetic attractive force. The shaped surfaces of the magnets mate when the auxiliary eyeglasses are mounted on the conventional eyeglasses. The magnets may be recessed in sockets formed on one side while the magnets extend out of the sockets on the other side. A wide variety of magnet shapes and configurations are possible. An additional unique feature is the inclusion of a reflective surface on a portion of the rear surface of the auxiliary eyeglass lenses to act as a rearview mirror for the wearer.
