  • Patent number: 11526025
    Abstract: Eyewear lenses for frameless eyewear may include a stiffening member configured to increase the stiffness of the eyewear lens. The stiffening member may be an integral part of the lens and extend along the upper portion of the lens. At least a portion of the stiffening member may extend forward of a corresponding point on the front surface of the lens. The stiffening member may have different dimensions and cross sections, based on, for example, the stiffening enhancement needed and aesthetic considerations. The stiffening member may be designed to improve the moment of inertia of the eyewear lens to a desired value when compared to an otherwise identical lens without a stiffening member. The increased stiffness caused by the stiffening member may also be designed to achieve a target head force on the head of a user when the eyewear lens is integrated into eyewear.
