Abstract
A magnetically affixed attachment for spectacles, including a preferably non-magnetic eyewire having front and rear regions. An auxiliary ens is held in the front region, and the rear region contains a plurality of micromagnets. Each micromagnet, preferably of the rare earth type, is located on the inner periphery of the rear region, and is thereby protected from physical abuse. The inner periphery of said eyewire has the same shape, but preferably is slightly larger than the outer periphery of the spectacle rim to which it is intended to attach, hence allowing maximum contact between each micromagnet and the spectacle rim, which rim is fabricated of, or includes, magnetic material.
