  • Patent number: 5764333
    Abstract: A method and kit for making sunshields for eyeglasses. The sunshields are flexible, transparent sheets of smooth plastic film that are retained on lenses of eyeglasses by electrostatic attraction. The sunshields are made of smooth plastic film having opposed parallel surfaces that are flat and planar except as the film may be curved to match surfaces of the lenses, and absorb some incident electromagnetic radiation. The method includes the steps of laying eyeglasses on a sheet of writing material and tracing an outline of lenses of the eyeglasses on the sheet with a writing implement, cutting along the outlines on the sheet to obtain silhouettes of the lenses, comparing the silhouettes to the lenses in the eyeglasses to see if they match, and laying the silhouettes on a sheet of the smooth plastic film, and cutting the plastic film along the edges of the silhouettes.
