According to the present invention, slip-down of the glasses is prevented, and the pain on the upper portion of the user's ear and nose is minimized. Also, the inconvenience caused by the frequent wearing/removing of the glasses is eliminated, and it is not required for the user to remember the location of the glasses.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided foldable glasses comprising a rear banding member, a pair of legs fastened to the rear banding member by a fastening mechanism so that the rear banding member is movably engaged with and fixed to the legs in a multistage manner, and a pair of lens-supporting members rotatably fastened to the legs, respectively.
