| Abstract: |
Various embodiments of an eyeglass and eyeglass system are provided that can maintain the geometric and optical quality of a lens supported by the eyeglass. The eyeglass can comprise a frame, a support member carried by the frame, and a lens mounting area or groove extending at least partially along at least one of the frame and the support member. The support member can be pivoted, moved, or deflected relative to the frame between a retaining position and an open position. In the open position, the lens can be seated within the lens mounting area. In the retaining position, the support member and the frame retain the lens without exerting deformative forces on the lens. Accordingly, the as-molded geometric and optical qualities of the lens can be preserved.

1. An eyeglass for maintaining geometry and optical quality of a lens supported by the eyeglass, the eyeglass comprising: a frame adapted to be carried by the head of a wearer, the frame extending at least partially about a perimeter of the lens; a support member pivotably attached to the frame such that the support member can be pivoted relative to the frame between a retaining position and an open position, the support member being moveable to the retaining position to capture at least a portion of the perimeter of the lens for mounting the lens in the path of the wearer's field of view; and a securing member being movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, the securing member being in an engaged position to secure the support member in the retaining position for securing the support member relative to the frame, the securing member being disposed between the wearer and at least one of the support member and the frame when the securing member is in the engaged position, the securing member defining an outer surface configured to contact the nose of the wearer during use.
