Abstract

A nose bridge of a primary frame which retains a pair of primary lenses includes a first magnet and the base of the connector includes a second magnet such that the flip-up lens assembly can be removably attached to the primary frame when the base of the connector is secured to the nose bridge of the primary frame by magnetic forces between the two magnets.
