Abstract
The present invention relates to eyewear, and in particular, for a single block assembly having multiple slots and reliefs in substantial alignment for accommodation of a flange for lens attachment, a flange for arm attachment, a magnet location, and an accessory slot. The accessory slot can accommodate attachment of a variety of accessories, including a pivotal auxiliary lens assembly, a stationary auxiliary lens assembly, or a tether cord. The single block design provides a reduced profile which allows the frame to accommodate wider lenses for improved peripheral visibility and improved appearance.
