1. An eyewear comprising:
a base frame comprising an anterior surface with a curvature and a perimeter, and left and right lenses; a top frame comprising:
a left opening on the top frame configured to be positioned in front of the left lens of the base frame when the top frame is attached to the base frame, and a right opening on the top frame configured to be positioned in front of the right lens of the base frame when the top frame is attached to the base frame, the left and right openings not including lenses;
a bridge positioned between the left opening and the right opening;
a pre-attached shape with a curved posterior surface with a perimeter on the top frame that corresponds to the curvature of the perimeter of the anterior surface of the base frame to which the top frame is configured to attach such that the anterior surface of the base frame closely fits with the posterior surface of the top frame along the perimeters of the base frame and the top frame; and
at least two magnets on the top frame that enable the creation of a force configured to removably attach the top frame to the base frame;
wherein the top frame is made of a material that is more flexible than a material of the base frame to which the top frame is configured to attach; and wherein the top frame is configured so that, when removably attached to the base frame, the top frame is not required to be contorted to attach the top frame to the base frame, and the top frame has no part that extends in a posterior direction past the anterior surface of the base frame. |
