Abstract: A protective eyewear assembly includes a protective eyeglasses portion including a protective lense portion and a frame portion, a corrective lense assembly including a corrective lense frame, a pair of corrective lenses in the corrective lense frame, a nose pad assembly on the corrective lense frame, and a clip assembly for releaseably securing the corrective lense assembly on the protective eyeglasses portion. The clip assembly preferably includes a clip portion on the protective eyeglasses portion and a tongue portion on the corrective lense frame which is releaseably securable in the clip portion for securing the corrective lense assembly to the protective eyeglasses portion.

Abstract: A carrying case for eyeglasses comprises a substantially cylindrical capsule including releasably connected first and second capsule sections, and a carrying strap on one of the capsule sections. The capsule is dimensioned for receiving and containing a pair of eyeglasses so that the eyeglasses are prevented from moving significant amounts either laterally or longitudinally therein and as a result the lenses of the eyeglasses are prevented from contacting the inner wall of the capsule. The capsule is preferably further constructed so that it is waterproof and so that it has sufficient buoyancy to cause the case to float on water, even when a pair of eyeglasses is contained in the capsule.
