an eyeglasses frame comprising a left rim and a right rim, each of the left rim and the right rim comprising an anterior segment having an anterior lens mounting edge, a posterior segment having a posterior lens mounting edge, and a lateral span comprising a u-shaped inner periphery extending from the anterior lens mounting edge to the posterior lens mounting edge;

an image sensor/camera enclosure disposed on the lateral span of each of the posterior segment of the left rim and the posterior segment of the right rim, the image sensor/camera enclosure disposed about a space interior to the eyeglasses frame extending from a first end adjacent to the anterior lens mounting edge to a second end disposed posterior of the posterior segment of the left rim and of the right rim, the second end comprising an observation aperture, wherein an image viewing axis perpendicular to the first end and to the observation aperture is angled medially and at an angle α between 25 degrees and 40 degrees relative to a vertical plane extending in a medial-lateral direction and upwardly at an angle β between 10 degrees and 25 degrees relative to a horizontal plane;

a sensor window disposed through the posterior segment of the right rim or the posterior segment of the left rim, the sensor window facing posteriorly toward a wearer of the eyeglasses frame and being disposed between the camera enclosure and a hinge assembly coupled with the lateral span;

a camera assembly comprising an image sensor/camera disposed in the space interior to the eyeglasses frame adjacent to the observation aperture of the image sensor/camera enclosure and a conductor configured to convey image signals from and control signals to the image sensor/camera, the conductor disposed in the u-shaped inner periphery peripherally of the anterior lens mounting edge and the posterior lens mounting edge and extending in the u-shaped inner periphery from the image sensor/camera enclosure to the hinge assembly of the eyeglasses frame; and

an ambient light sensor disposed adjacent to the sensor window, the ambient light sensor configured to capture light reflections from an imaging area including an eye of the wearer, the ophthalmic monitoring system configured to record information pertinent to ocular health of the wearer based on signals from the ambient light sensor.
