Abstract
An eyewear includes a left unit and a right unit coupled with the left unit through a bridge. Each of the left unit and the right unit includes a lens rim and a temple coupled with a side of the lens rim through a first hinge. The temple includes a first temple part and a second temple part coupled with each other via a second hinge. The first temple part and the second temple part are shaped and sized to form an enclosure when the second temple part is folded against the first temple part. The bridge includes a coupling member configured to couple a first bridge part of the bridge with a second bridge part of the bridge when the eyewear is in an unfolded position. Upon further folding of the right unit against the left unit, the enclosure is formed by the temples enclosing the lens rims.
