Abstract

A pair of sunglasses having an elongated lens support frame member having a pair of elongated grooves formed in its bottom surface for detachably receiving a left lens and a right lens. The lenses have a constant radius in the horizontal planes extending from their top edge to their bottom edge. The grooves in the lens support frame member have a predetermined asymetric curvature that requires the lenses to be bent during insertion or removal. The temple members in sequence from their front end to their rear end have a forward portion, an intermediate correctly oriented letter shaped portion, and a rear portion. The letter shaped portions when viewed from either side of the wearer's head have the same correctly oriented letter design incorporated in the structure of the temple member.
