ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to attractively designed eyeglasses which float and also protect the wearer from the impact of flying object such as hurled pebbles. The eyeglasses of the invention comprise a lens, a frame for holding the lens characterized by a top transverse frame member having an interior side including a lateral flange therealong, temple arms mounted to the frame, and a foam member adhesively bonded to the interior side of the transverse member and partially abutting the flange, the foam member having a buoyancy greater than the weight of the eyewear. The flange prevents the foam strip from being dislodged due to repeated wear and the loss of efficacy of adhesives used to bond the foam strip.
