Abstract: Circumambient illumination eyewear has a frame that includes a bridge which extends between temple ends across a midsection, and stems. A pair of lenses are mounted on the frame such that each lens covering an eye-space that is positioned over the user's eyes when the user is wearing the eyewear. At least one illumination strip is disposed around each of the pair of lenses so that the at least one illumination strip extends entirely around each of the pair of lenses, and emits at least 50 lumens into the workspace. A battery is operably connected to the illumination strip via a dimmer switch.
