Abstract
The present invention relates to eyewear that provides replaceable and/or interchangeable lens for eyewear. The lens and frame set is adapted for the easy replacement and/or interchange of the removable lenses from a front side of the frame. In one embodiment, the lens is further secured into the frame from the front side by a resiliently compressible barrier that must be overcome in order for the lens to be received into and out of the frame. In another embodiment, the lenses are securable into the frame by friction from the front side, the friction arising between a resiliently compressible lens gasket that is attached to the periphery of the lens and an interior surface of the cross section of the bezel of eyepiece of the frame.
