Lighted eyewear comprising: a pair of lenses; a pair of temple arms that extend rearwardly from respective outer portions of the lenses wherein the temple arms can be opened for use and folded when not in use; characterised by: light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted in housings configured to fix beams of light to be directed inward toward each other so that the beams overlap in a reading distance range; wherein the housings are fixed to the temple arms toward the forward ends thereof, and with the temple arms opened, the housings are each oriented to project light therefrom forwardly, inwardly and toward the light emanating from the housing fixed on the other arm; wherein the housings include blinder extensions that respectively project between the LEDs and adjacent ones of the lenses to minimise refraction or reflection of light emanating from the LEDs through the lenses; and wherein the housings include at least one disc-shaped battery power supply for the light emitting diodes to allow the housing to be compactly sized with each of the light emitting diodes and the battery power supply therefor self-contained in respective ones of the housings. a pair of lenses; a pair of temple arms that extend rearwardly from respective outer portions of the lenses wherein the temple arms can be opened for use and folded when not in use; characterised by: light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted in housings configured to fix beams of light to be directed inward toward each other so that the beams overlap in a reading distance range; wherein the housings are fixed to the temple arms toward the forward ends thereof, and with the temple arms opened, the housings are each oriented to project light therefrom forwardly, inwardly and toward the light emanating from the housing fixed on the other arm; wherein the housings include blinder extensions that respectively project between the LEDs and adjacent ones of the lenses to minimise refraction or reflection of light emanating from the LEDs through the lenses; and wherein the housings include at least one disc-shaped battery power supply for the light emitting diodes to allow the housing to be compactly sized with each of the light emitting diodes and the battery power supply therefor self-contained in respective ones of the housings. light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted in housings configured to fix beams of light to be directed inward toward each other so that the beams overlap in a reading distance range; wherein the housings are fixed to the temple arms toward the forward ends thereof, and with the temple arms opened, the housings are each oriented to project light therefrom forwardly, inwardly and toward the light emanating from the housing fixed on the other arm; wherein the housings include blinder extensions that respectively project between the LEDs and adjacent ones of the lenses to minimise refraction or reflection of light emanating from the LEDs through the lenses; and wherein the housings include at least one disc-shaped battery power supply for the light emitting diodes to allow the housing to be compactly sized with each of the light emitting diodes and the battery power supply therefor self-contained in respective ones of the housings.
