Abstract
A system for attaching optical frames and lenses is described which provides positive, reversible attachment without rims, cords, or screws. The mating is performed with a mechanical closure onto a receiving portion of the lens which has been formed as the mating piece for the closure device. Lenses may be changed and adjusted in a straightforward manner and the resulting device presents a clean, fashionable appearance without the need for structural rims, cords, or screws.
