ABSTRACT:
An eyewear apparatus and method for attaching various eyewear frame components together to form a single front frame unit where the components are formed from different material such as metals and plastics. Right and left eye members define right and left eye openings wherein a pair of lenses are inserted. A bridge component has a central portion with four arms radially extending from the central portion. Lugs are provided at the end of at least two, but preferably all four arms of the bridge component which align with lugs provided on the eye members which extend toward the respective eye opening thereof. Securing members are passed consecutively through each lens and aligned pair of lugs on the eye members and bridge component. A pair of tabbed projections are also provided on the eye members which extend into opposite ends of a channel extending laterally through the central portion of the bridge component, thereby establishing a total of six attachment points between the bridge, eye members and lenses.
