Abstract
A lens assembly is disclosed comprising at least first and second removably superimposed eyewear elements each comprising a frame member including framing means for at least one lens. Each frame member has a first longitudinal curvature in an unassembled condition of the lens assembly, and at least the at least second eyewear element further has a flexible intermediate portion providing for longitudinal flexibility of the at least second eyewear element along a transverse medial axis thereof such that the at least second eyewear element is deformable to define a second longitudinal curvature complimentary with the first longitudinal curvature of the at least first eyewear element when the at least first and second eyewear elements are removably axially superimposed in longitudinal alignment.
