1. An eyewear device comprising:
an eyewear body comprising:
an eyewear frame defining one or more optical element holders for holding respective optical elements within view of a user when the eyewear device is worn; and
a pair of temples connected to the eyewear frame for supporting the eyewear frame in position during wear;
a driven antenna element incorporated in the eyewear frame;
a printed circuit board (PCB) that is housed by the device body and that carries on-board communication electronics coupled to the driven antenna element to communicate wireless signals via the driven antenna element, the PCB defining a PCB ground plane coupled to the communication electronics for co-operation with the driven antenna element in signal communication; and
a PCB extender comprising a conductor electrically connected to the PCB ground plane and projecting from the PCB for co-operation with the driven antenna element in signal communication, the PCB extender extending along an associated one of the pair of temples.
