The spectacles comprise at least one temple piece and at least one lens of predetermined thickness connected to the temple piece having an inner face, an outer face, and a center point centrally located on the outer face of the lens. A receiving structure integrally formed within the lens receives the ray shading visor. The visor structure is non-translucent and has an outer surface arcuately extending outwardly from the outer face of the lens toward the center point of the lens. An inner surface of the visor is shaped to matingly rest adjacent the outer face of the fens. The visor has a fastening structure integrally formed with the non-translucent visor and is sized and shaped to be matingly connected to the receiving structure of the lens.
