Protective eyewear is described which includes a frame and a detachable lens. The frame has right and left temple flaps, each with at least one hole for locking the flaps onto corresponding detents molded into the temples of the frame. The lens may be molded in a ready-to-wear shape including temple portions, or it may be a flat shape for easy packaging. For the flat lens, a wearer can bend the lens appropriately to create the temple portions, thus forming a ready-to-wear shape. The lens is then secured to the frame by closing the flaps, thus sandwiching the temple portions of the lens between the flaps and the temples of the frame.
