ABSTRACT:
An improved eye glass or spectacle is provided which includes means for transmitting light in the form of a fiber-optic bundle disposed in or forming an arm of the spectacle frame. In one embodiment, the spectacle frame includes a pair of lens-holding members connected by a bridge, and a pair of side-supporting arms, each of the side arms including a first end pivotally connected to the lens-holding members and a second end including an ear-engagement portion. The light-transmitting means includes a fiber-optic bundle which is disposed in or forms at least one of the side-supporting arms. The fiber-optic bundle includes an optical face adjacent the first end of the side-supporting arm for projecting light within the viewing area of the spectacle frame. The second end of the side arm includes suitable means for connecting the fiber-optic bundle to a power supply for transmitting light through the fiber-optic bundle to the optical face for projecting light within the viewing area of the spectacle frame.
