A method and apparatus for mounting auxiliary eyeglasses on conventional eyeglasses
in which magnets having shaped surfaces are attached to appendages on the auxiliary
eyeglasses mating with magnets having complimentary shaped surfaces mounted on
the temple extensions of conventional eyeglasses. The magnets on the auxiliary
eyeglasses are mounted in sockets formed on the appendages on the auxiliary eyeglass
frame fit beneath the temple extensions on the conventional eyeglasses frame to
hold the auxiliary frames in place solely by the magnetic attractive force. The
shaped surfaces of the magnets mate when the auxiliary eyeglasses are mounted on
the conventional eyeglasses. The magnets may be recessed in sockets formed on one
side while the magnets extend out of the sockets on the other side. A wide variety
of magnet shapes and configurations are possible. An additional unique feature
is the inclusion of a reflective surface on a portion of the rear surface of the
auxiliary eyeglass lenses to act as a rearview mirror for the wearer.
