The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an improved lens securing device for a pair of eyeglasses so that the lenses of the pair of eyeglasses are able to be detachably connected to the frames to enable the user to change the lenses easily when required.
In order to accomplish the foregoing objective, the securing device comprises a boss formed on a joint between the temple and each of the frames, a bridge bridging the two frames together by an extension sandwiched between the bridge and each of the two frames, a pair of notches adapted to be defined in opposite sides of the lens to correspond to the boss and the extension respectively and a positioning arm pivotally connected between the two frames to be seated in a cutout in each of the frames so that the lenses are able to be securely retained in the pair of eyeglasses or removed from pair of eyeglasses easily by pivoting the positioning arm to leave the corresponding cutouts.
