Abstract
Lens retention in an eyewear having a front frame having continuous rim type right and left eye openings each having a substantially L-shaped cross-section formed of any desired material. A lens having a beveled edge is placed in a respective eye opening with the apex of the bevel abutting the inner surface of the side wall of the eye opening which thereby forms an adhesive trough at the rear surface of the lens. A bead of UV-curable adhesive is applied within the trough which thereby firmly secures the lens within the eye opening.
