Abstract
A rotatable lens eyeglasses for allowing access to the eye of the user without having to remove the eyeglasses. The rotatable lens eyeglasses includes a frame having a front and a pair of arms. The front comprises a pair of vision frames. Each vision frame is defined by only an upper part that is curved such that each vision frame is entirely laterally outside and above the visual range of an associated eye of a user. A bridge connects the pair of vision frames. Each of a pair of lenses is hingedly coupled to one of the opposite ends of the vision frames with respect to the bridge.
Claims9
A pair of make-up eyeglasses, said eyeglasses comprising:
- a frame having a front and a pair of arms, said front comprising:
- a pair of vision frames, each vision frame being defined by only an upper part being curved such that each vision frame is entirely laterally outside and above the visual range of an associated eye of a user;
- a bridge, said bridge connecting the pair of vision frames;
- and
- a pair of lenses, each of said lenses being hingedly coupled to one of the opposite ends of said vision frames with respect to said bridge;
- a pair of lugs, each of said lugs being integrally coupled to said bridge and extending in opposite directions toward a junction of said arms and said vision frames, each of said lugs comprising a magnetically receptive material;
- and
- a pair of magnets, each of said magnets being fixedly coupled to one of said lenses, said magnets being positioned such that each of said magnets are abuttable against one of said lugs when a respective lens is positioned adjacent to said bridge.

A pair of make-up eyeglasses, said eyeglasses comprising:
- a frame having a front and a pair of arms, each of said arms being hingedly coupled to said front, said front comprising:
- a pair of vision frames, each vision frame being defined by only an upper part being curved such that each vision frame is entirely laterally outside and above the visual range of an associated eye of a user, wherein each of said arms is hingedly coupled to one of an outside portions of said vision frames;
- a bridge, said bridge connecting the pair of vision frames;
- a saddle for being disposed on the nose of a user, said saddle being integrally coupled to and extending downwardly away from said bridge;
- a pair of lugs, each of said lugs being integrally coupled to said bridge and extending in opposite directions from each other such that each extends toward one of the junctures of said arms and said vision frames, each of said lugs comprising a metal;
- a pair of hinge members, each of said hinge members having a fixed portion coupled to one of said vision frames at a juncture of said arms and said vision frames, each of said hinge members having a plate portion adapted to rotate with respect to said fixed portion, wherein said plate portions are horizontally rotatable about vertical axes of said fixed portions;
- a pair of lenses, each of said lenses being fixedly coupled to one of said plates such that each of said lenses may be disposed within one of said vision frames, wherein said lens may rotate with respect to said vision frames, said lenses each defining an eyepiece;
- and
- a pair of magnets, each of said magnets being fixedly coupled to one of said lenses, said magnets being positioned such that each of said magnets are abuttable against one of said lugs when a respective lens is positioned adjacent to said bridge.

An eyeglass system comprising:
- a frame having a front and a pair of arms extending from said front, said front comprising:
- a pair of vision frames, each vision frame being defined by an upper part positionable outside and above the visual range of an associated eye of a user when said frame is worn by a user;
- a bridge connecting said pair of vision frames such that each of the vision frames has an end positioned opposite the bridge;
- and
- a pair of lenses, each of said lenses being pivotally coupled to one of the ends of said vision frames, each of the lenses being pivotable about an axis oriented substantially perpendicularly to the upper part of the vision frame such that the lens is pivotable about a substantially vertical axis when said frame is worn by a user.
