A magnification eyeglass system comprising:
- a frame comprising:
- a pair of lenses joined by a bridge portion;
- a telescopic lens incorporated within a corresponding one of said lenses;
- and
- a pair of temples configured to extend substantially perpendicular to said lenses;
- a headlight assembly removably attached to the bridge portion, said headlight assembly comprising:
- a housing having incorporated therein at least one lighting element, and
- a battery assembly comprising:
- a lower assembly comprising:
- a sensing element comprising:
- a translucent window, said sensing element configured to:
- transmit an infra-red (IR) signal through said translucent window;
- and
- detect a reflection of the transmitted IR signal through said translucent window;
- and
- an electronic system configured to:
- receive an indication of the detected reflection of the transmitted IR signal;
- and
- control an application of a voltage to the at least one lighting element based on the received indication;
- a battery pod attached to the lower assembly, said battery pod containing a battery element therein, said battery providing said voltage to the at least one light element through the electronic system.
