ABSTRACT:
Floating eyeglasses having a frame (20) with lenses (22), a bridge (24) and ends (26), preferably of the wrap around type fabricated of thermoplastic, are modified to include elements that permit the eyeglasses to float. Temples (30) are pivotally attached to the frame and include a inwardly curved smooth surface (36). A number of frame float pads (38-44) are attached to the frame adjacent to hinges that connect the temples. A pair of temple float pads (52) and (54) are attached to the curved surface of the temples. The combined frame and temple float pads have sufficient buoyancy to overcome the weight of the frame and temples permitting the eyeglasses to float in water with the temples always in an upright position.
