An eyeglasses assembly includes a main lens frame, a pair of primary lenses and an auxiliary eyeglasses unit. The main lens frame includes an adjacent pair of lens-holding rims, each of which has an inner rim portion adjacent to the other one of the lens-holding rims and formed with a rearwardly extending frame-retaining hook. The main lens frame further includes a bridge that interconnects the lens-holding rims and that is provided with a rearwardly extending stud. Each of the pair of primary lenses is mounted in a respective one of the lens-holding rims. The auxiliary eyeglasses unit includes an auxiliary lens frame that is generally inverted-U in shape and that has a pair of generally upright lens-holding arm portions and a connecting portion interconnecting upper ends of the lens-holding arm portions, and a pair of auxiliary lenses that are mounted respectively on the lens-holding arm portions. The auxiliary lens frame is mounted removably on the main lens frame such that each of the lens-holding arm portions engages a corresponding one of the frame-retaining hooks and such that the connecting portion engages the stud to dispose removably the auxiliary lenses behind the primary lenses, respectively.
