a magnification section comprising a second filter element and offset from the lens section by an offset section, wherein the offset section is sized to accommodate a length of a magnification device to which the magnification section is to be placed in front of; at least one element configured to: attach said filter element to an eyewear incorporating the magnification device within carrier lenses of the eyewear, wherein said first filter element and said second filter element comprising optical material configured to: attenuate light wavelengths within an undesired wavelength range; and allow light wavelengths in a desired wavelength to pass substantially unattenuated. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The filter element of claim 1, wherein said at least one element comprises: at least one of: a ferrous material and a magnet. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The filter element of claim 1, wherein said at least one element is positioned on a lower surface of said offset section. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The filter element of claim 1, wherein said at least one element is positioned adjacent an upper edge of said lens section. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The filter element of claim 1, wherein said optical material of said first filter element comprises a first optical density and said optical material of said second filter element comprises a second optical density. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The filter element of claim 5, wherein said first optical density and said second optical density are substantially equal. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The filter element of claim 5, wherein said first optical and said second optical density are different. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The filter element of claim 1, wherein said lens section comprises a plurality of lens filter sections, and said first filter element comprises a plurality of lens filter elements, each of said lens filter elements being insertable into a groove in a corresponding one of said plurality of lens filter sections. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The filter element of claim 1, wherein said magnification section comprises a plurality of magnification filter sections, and said second filter element comprises a plurality of magnification filter elements, each of said plurality of magnification filter elements being insertable into a groove in a corresponding one of said plurality of magnification filter sections. ### Claim 10 An eyewear filter system comprising: an eyewear comprising: a frame comprising: a bridge element separating a left lens and a right lens, and a left magnification device incorporated into said left lens and a right magnification incorporated into said right lens; and a filter assembly comprising: a first section comprising a first filter section; a second section comprising a second filter section; and an offset section, wherein said offset section offsets said second section from said first section by a distance determined based on a length of said left magnification device and said right magnification device and said second section is oriented with respect to said offset section to be substantially proximate a distal end of said left magnification device and said right magnification device, and a means for attaching said filter assembly to said eyewear. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The eyewear filter system of claim 10, wherein said means for attaching said filter element to said eyewear comprises: a plurality of magnetic elements positioned along a surface of at least one of said frame and said first section. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The eyewear filter system of claim 10, wherein said means for attaching said filter element to said eyewear comprises: a plurality of magnetic elements positioned along at least one of: a top surface of said left magnification device and said right magnification device, and a bottom surface of said offset section. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The eyewear filter system of claim 10, wherein said first filter section comprises: a left filter section associated with said left lens; and a right filter section associated with said right lens, each of said left filter section and said right filter section including a groove therein. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The eyewear filter system of claim 13, further comprising: a left filter insertable into said groove of said left filter section; and a right filter insertable into said groove of said right filter section. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The eyewear filter system of claim 10, wherein said second filter section comprises: a left second filter section associated with said left magnification device; and a right second filter section associated with said right magnification device, each of said left second filter section and said right second filter section including a groove therein. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The eyewear filter system of claim 15, further comprising: a left second filter insertable into said groove of said left second filter section; and a right second filter insertable into said groove of said right second filter section, wherein an optical density of said left second filter and right second filter is determined based on a magnification level of said left magnification device and said right magnification device. ### Claim 17 An eyewear filter system comprising: an eyewear comprising: a frame comprising: a left lens, a right lens; a left loupe incorporated into said left lens and a right loupe incorporated into said right lens; and a cap element positioned over each of said left loupe and said right loupe, said cap element including an element attractable by a magnetic force positioned on an upper surface of each of said left loupe and said right loupe; and a filter element comprising: a first section; a second section; and an offset section, wherein the offset section includes a material attractable by a magnetic force. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The eyewear filter system of claim 17, wherein said magnetic force is generated by at least one magnetic element positioned on at least one of: said offset section and said cap element.
