An electric connection configuration for an electro-optical device comprises a brow bar member which houses the electronics of the device, and a pair of flexible conductor tabs which attach to the electronics in the housing and extend therefrom to form electrodes for connection to the lenses. When the brow bar is attached to the frame, the conductor tabs hang over the frame and extend within the space formed by the eye openings of the frame. As the lenses are fitted into a respective eye opening, the flexible conductor tabs are folded back such that they become sandwiched between the edge of the lens and the frame. In a preferred embodiment, the flexible conductor tabs each form a positive electrode, and a pair of screws, which also serve to attach the brow bar to the frame, each form a negative electrode for attachment to a respective lens.
