| Abstract: |
Hingeless eyeglasses as collar or headband comprises a pair of reading glass or sunglass lenses framed by a lightweight, horseshoe shaped, single piece of narrow band. The narrow band containing eyeglass lenses is specifically shaped to fit around the neck or on top of the head of a wearer comfortably when the device is not being used. Unlike most wearers of bi-focal or prescription lenses, the inconvenience of locating the eyeglasses is common among the wearers of reading glasses or sunglasses. Therefore, to be worn as a collar, a necklace, or a headband and not having to experience the frequent losses of hinge screws are advantages over the prior art. The present device provides a wearer a choice of assorted strengths of optical lenses, as well as various shades and shapes, framed by several sizes, colors, and designs of attractive narrow bands. The present device can be inexpensively manufactured.
