  • Patent number: 6719424
    Abstract: An auxiliary lens apparatus for use with eyeglasses and sunglasses having two main lenses with respective convex and concave surfaces. The apparatus comprises two lenses each held within the individual rims of eyeglass frames and a nose bridge to join the two. A generally u-shaped clip with an integrally formed grooved seat and a rear flexible spur angled to abut the convex surfaces of each main lens is provided in combination with each auxiliary lens to fixably secure the auxiliary lenses to the eyeglasses. The un-shaped clip formed in combination with each auxiliary lens is situated to take into account the focal point of the wearer's eyes, which is located at a certain distance forward of the position of the clip, to prevent the obscuring of the wearer's vision.
