1. A method for delivering verified user-specific data using a wearable programmable eyewear accessory apparatus removably attachable to a traditional eyewear frame, the method comprising:
attaching an NFC apparatus to at least one external structural component of the eyewear frame using an attachment mechanism comprising:
a weatherproof housing formed from a non-conductive material, wherein the housing serves as an attachment mechanism configured to fit onto the external structural element of the eyewear frame, wherein the attachment mechanism's three-dimensional design maintains a predetermined minimum spacing in the range of 2 to about 10 millimeters between the antenna assembly and any conductive frame element, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference and enabling improved NFC communication performance, including the potential for an increased effective communication range, as a function of the specific spacing configuration selected;
programming said NFC apparatus with user-specific data using an external NFC processing device;
retrieving data from the NFC apparatus using an external NFC processing device, wherein at least a portion of said data is obtained from at least one of: a centralized database, a decentralized data network, and a peer-to-peer distributing file system;
verifying authenticity and integrity of at least a portion of the retrieved user-specific data;
displaying the verified data on a graphical user interface associated with the external NFC processing device.
