Abstract:
1. A system for retrofitting an eyeglass assembly having a frame with a nosepiece and a pair of lens support members, and a pair of standard temple members cooperatively interconnected to the frame to support the eyeglass assembly in an operative position on a user's head, said system comprising: temple members each having an integral lighting assembly comprising a light source disposed in a communicative relationship with a power source via an electrical circuit, said integral lighting assembly further comprising: a power supply assembly structured to support said power source in an operative disposition, a switch mechanism disposed in an operative relation between said light source and said power source, a cover of the power supply assembly secured to a temple member inner surface for retaining the power source in the operative disposition such that said power supply assembly is structured and disposed in an imperceptible orientation relative to the corresponding temple member when the eyeglass assembly is in an operative position on the user's head, said light sources each structured to generate a light beam so that the light sources cooperate to produce an illumination region immediately proximate the user's head when said illuminated eyeglass assembly is disposed in said operative position on the user's head, and said temple members structured to resemble and replace the standard temple members of the eyeglass assembly.
