Abstract
Improved eyewear designs allow for circulation of air between the eyes and lenses to prevent fog from appearing on the lenses, the eyewear utilized in a host of sporting activities and work areas that require glasses or goggles for safety purposes. A first embodiment of the invention teaches the use of beveled members affixed to the interior portion of the frames of the glasses or goggles, such that the spaced apart members come in direct contact with the user's forehead, allowing for continuous air flow between the beveled members to the user's eyes. The spacers may be placed on the inside of the frames, attached to the frames by simple adhesives. The distance between the spacers may be of a range of one-quarter to three-eighths inches, and the spacers may be of a similar width as the outside frame. The edges may be rounded or beveled for user comfort. Regarding goggles that completely enclose the eye area, an additional embodiment describes eyewear frames bearing air holes through the circumference of each eye portion. The size of such apertures may range from one-sixteenth to three-eighths inches in diameter, and are included to accomplish the purpose of allowing sufficient airflow through the eye area to prevent fog from forming.
