Abstract

An eyeglass assembly with a bridge frame having temple tab thru-holes and lens retention receivers; a nose bridge insert; at least one lens in a single lens configuration with tabs configured to insert into the lens retention receivers of the bridge frame such that the lens tabs, or a portion thereof, protrude through temple tab thru-holes. In some embodiments, the eyeglasses are frameless, having first and second temple lugs with temple tab thru-holes and lens locking features; at least one lens in a single lens configuration having lens tabs, lens retention steps, lug locking notches; and a nose bridge insert. In some embodiments, the eyeglass assembly has a bridge frame with an integral nose bridge, two lenses, each lens having a lens tab, and a lens retention step, further having a lens hook. In still further embodiments, the eyeglass assembly comprises lens receiving portions with unique capture features to retain lenses having lens tabs, lens retention steps and/or hooks and capture features configured to removably capture and retain the lens in the assembly. Other embodiments further comprise a rocker frame.
