Eyewear device, and method of making the same, that reduces fogging

An eyewear device, comprising:

• at least one lens;
• and
• a frame comprising an eyewire receiving the at least one lens, the frame including a ledge configured and dimensioned to receive the at least one lens;
• wherein the at least one lens comprises a plurality of vents to allow air to flow between opposite sides of the at least one lens, and the vents are defined by an outermost peripheral edge of the lens, the vents in the lens extend from the outermost peripheral edge towards a central area of the lens, and the frame includes a front surface located in front of the lens and which extends downward, and the frame includes a rear surface that also extends downward such that the lens is located between the front surface and rear surface of the frame, the rear surface extending further towards and being located closer to the central area of the lens than is the front surface.

A method of using an eyewear device, comprising:

• providing at least one lens with an outer surface and an inner surface;
• providing a frame comprising an eyewire configured and dimensioned to receive the at least one lens, a ledge configured and dimensioned to contact the at least one lens when the eyewire receives the at least one lens, and a groove surface located behind the inner surface of the lens such that the groove surface is located closer to a user when the eyewear device is worn properly by a user;
• providing a plurality of grooves in the ledge between the at least one lens and the frame, each of the grooves including a respective groove surface;
• wherein the eyewire at least partially encircles the at least one lens and the at least one lens rests on the ledge;
• and
• allowing air to circulate between opposite sides of the at least one lens by circulating air such that the air strikes the groove surface in the frame located behind the inner surface of the lens in a first direction, and by deflecting the circulating air from the first direction to a second direction that is different from the first direction using the groove surface located behind the inner surface of the lens to reduce fogging.
