ABSTRACT:
An optical lens is mounted to the eyelash of the upper eyelid, hanging thereon in spaced register with the wearer's eyeball cornea. In a first embodiment, the lens is carried by a pair of endwisely hinged peg arms, taking in sandwich the upper eyelid eyelashes so as to be supported by the latter. The lens includes an edgewise flange releasably inserted into a mating cavity made in the underface of the peg lower arm. In a second embodiment, the lens is carried by another pair of integral, inner and outer peg arms, taking in sandwich the two opposite main walls of the upper eyelid and extending downwardly through the upper eyelid eyelashes. The inner peg arm is then surgically implanted subcutaneously to the upper eyelid and fixed by temporary stitches.
