Abstract

A magnetic eyewear retention system includes an eyeglass frame having a frame front and first and second temples. A first magnetic element is configured with the first temple, and a second magnetic element attractive to the first magnetic element is configured with the second temple. The first and second magnetic elements are positioned along the first and second temples such when the first and second temples are bent inward on their hinges towards the frame front, the magnetic elements come into sufficient proximity to hold the frame in a closed position by magnetic force. Magnetic elements may be mounted on, embedded in or affixed to the temples, or provided with one or more sleeves that thread onto the temples.
