Abstract

A removable lens eyewear system is provided that substantially prevents accidental or unintended removal, axial movement, linear movement, and rotational movement of a removable lens relative to an eyewear frame, such as in a side-to-side, up-and-down, back-and-forth, and rotational direction, as well as the unintended disconnection of the removable lens from the eyewear frame, while at the same time providing easy, one-handed operation for the engagement and disengagement of the removable lens from the system.
