Abstract: An eyewear system may be eyeglasses and a case, the eyeglasses may be a first lens, a second lens, and a bendable bridge disposed between the first lens and second lens, the bendable bridge may be a spring providing a spring force when the bridge is bent from a rest position, the eyeglasses being adapted to move from a wearable configuration in which the bendable bridge is in a rest position and the first lens and second lens are in a first configuration to a stored configuration in which the first and second lenses are moved towards one another relative to the first configuration, the bendable bridge being bent from its rest position in the stored configuration, the case may be a door and an opening through which the eyeglasses pass during insertion and guides sized and configured with respect to the eyeglasses to engage and move the first lens towards the second lens against spring force of the bridge to the stored configuration during insertion of the eyeglasses and closing of the door, wherein the case ma

Abstract: Embodiments of eyeglasses are provided. The glasses comprise a frame comprising a first and second lens connected by a bridge. Temple pieces extend from either side of the frame. The hinge or hinge point between the temple pieces and the frame can be within the plane of the glasses allowing the temple pieces to fold flat or near flat against the frame. The thickness of the glasses can be less than about 3.5 mm (e.g., 2.6 mm) in a folded configuration.

Abstract: Embodiments of thin eyeglasses are provided. The eyeglasses comprise first and second lens connected by a resilient bridge. The eyeglasses comprise a first and second ear piece connected to the first and second lens by a first and second hinge. One lens can be rotated about the hinge and over the other lens to place the eyeglasses in a compact configuration.

Abstract: An eyewear system including eyeglasses and a case, the eyeglasses having a first lens, a second lens, and a bendable bridge disposed between the first lens and second lens, the bendable bridge having a spring providing a spring force when the bridge is bent from a rest position, the eyeglasses being adapted to move from a wearable configuration in which the first and second lens do not overlap to a stored configuration in which the first and second lenses at least partially overlap, the bendable bridge being bent from its rest position in the stored configuration, the case having an opening through which the eyeglasses pass during insertion and guides sized and configured with respect to the eyeglasses to engage and fold the eyeglasses against spring force of the bridge to the stored configuration during insertion of the eyeglasses through the opening and into the case.

Abstract: An eyewear system including eyeglasses having first and second lenses; first and second nose pads; and a bridge operably connecting the first and second lenses, the bridge being bendable from a bridge rest position to permit relative movement between the first and second nose pads and providing a bridge pinch force of 50 g or less between the nose pads when the nose pads are moved 7 mm or less from the bridge rest position.

Abstract: An eyewear is provided. The eyewear includes lenses interconnected via a lens bridge and a nose clamp connected to the lens bridge or lenses. The nose clamp includes nose pads which are mountable onto a nose of a user, wherein the nose pads are configured for accommodating noses of varying width without substantially affecting a distance between the lenses or their orientation on the face of the user.
