Abstract: The present invention improves existing eyewear frames to provide a secure and convenient means for storage and transport of eyewear when it is not being worn on the face. The eyewear frames contain rimless or semi-rimless lenses, which may be, for example, prescription lenses, reading lenses, darkened lenses as in sunglasses, or protective lenses, or a military lens such as night-vision goggles. When not in use as eyeglasses, the eyewear can be folded into a band for the wrist, arm or ankle. The eyewear frames may be comprised of a flexible material that allow the earpieces or nosepiece or both to bend or twist. There is an optional protective cover for the lenses when the eyewear is not in use as eyeglasses that may be solid or may be hinged.

Abstract: The present invention improves existing eyewear frames to provide a secure and convenient means for storage and transport of eyewear when it is not being worn on the face. The invention removes any need for a case or container for the eyewear. The eyewear frames contain lenses, which may be, for example, prescription lenses, reading lenses, darkened lenses as in sunglasses, protective lenses, or a military lens such as night-vision goggles. When not in use as eyeglasses, the frames can be folded into a band for the wrist, arm or ankle. An optional reminder pad may be attached to the eyewear frames for the person using the frames to write short reminders to him- or herself. The reminder pad may be made of paper, of washable plastic, or of any other suitable writing surface material.
