Modular eyewear includes a frame and lens assemblies insertable into and removable from the frame which has a rim located between a bridge and each of two temples. Each rim includes a front face, a groove adjacent to the bridge, and an indentation adjacent to the temple. Attached along each of the groove and the indentation are frame magnets. The lens assemblies include a lens having a perimeter surrounding a body with front and rear surfaces. A tab is applied to and extends from the front surface of each lens at the perimeter. Magnetic couplings are attached along a first portion of the perimeter behind the tab and along a second portion of the perimeter, respectively. When the eyewear is assembled, the frame magnets magnetically attach to the corresponding magnetic couplings, and the tab is inserted into the indentation to fill the indentation flush with the frame front face.

1. A frame for a pair of individualized eyeglass lenses, the frame having two temples for resting the frame on a user's ears, a bridge for resting the frame on a user's nose, and a rim located between the bridge and each of the two temples for receiving first and second lenses of the pair of eyeglass lenses therein, at least one of the rims comprising: a front face;an inner portion circumscribing the rim having (i) a first portion at least partially adjacent to the bridge, the first portion having a ledge for supporting a bridge side of the first lens and (ii) a second portion adjacent to the temple having an indentation and a lip on a bottom thereof for supporting a temple side opposite the bridge side of the first lens, wherein the indentation is dimensioned such that when the first lens is received in the rim, a lens tab applied to and extending from the first lens may be inserted into the indentation to fill a portion thereof; andat least one mating element exposed within the second portion for detachably attaching to at least one coupling element of the first lens attached to the lens under the lens tab. 2. The frame of claim 1, wherein the second portion of the inner portion includes a groove adjacent to the bridge, such that when a lens is received in the rim, a portion of the lens is inserted into the groove. 3. The frame of claim 2, wherein there are two mating elements adapted for bonding to two coupling elements of the first lens, one of the mating elements being along the second portion and the other of the mating elements being in the groove. 4. The frame of claim 1, the at least one coupling element of the first lens being a magnet, wherein the at least one mating element of the frame is a corresponding magnet for bonding to the magnet of the first lens. 5. The frame of claim 1, wherein each of the rims is a full rim. 6. The frame of claim 1, the lip being set at a depth from the front face such that when the first lens is received in the rim, a top surface of the tab is flush with the front face. 7. A lens assembly for eyeglasses comprising: a lens having a body with front and rear surfaces and perimeter thereabout, the lens being adapted for insertion into a frame having a front face and at least one mating element attached within an indentation formed on an inner portion of a rim thereof, the inner portion circumscribing the rim;a tab applied to and extending from the front surface of the lens at the perimeter, the tab being dimensioned such that upon insertion of the lens into the frame, the tab fills a portion of the indentation of the frame rim, the tab comprising an ornamental portion corresponding to a missing ornamental portion of the frame; anda first coupling element attached along a first portion of the perimeter of the lens and behind the tab, the first coupling element for detachably attaching to a first mating element attached to the rim. 8. The lens assembly of claim 7, a portion of the rear surface of the lens being directly below the tab, wherein the portion of the rear surface directly below the tab is adapted to rest on a lip along the inner portion of the rim. 9. The lens assembly of claim 8, the lip of the inner portion of the rim being on a temple side of a frame such that the tab is positioned on the temple side of the frame when the lens is inserted into the frame. 10. The lens assembly of claim 7, wherein the tab is further dimensioned such that upon insertion of the lens into the frame, the tab is flush with the front face. 11. The lens assembly of claim 7, wherein the tab forms a monolithic structure with the lens such that the tab and the lens are not separable. 12. The lens assembly of claim 7, further comprising a second coupling element attached along a second portion of the perimeter of the lens, the second coupling element for detachably attaching to a second mating element, the indentation being on a temple side of the rim and the second mating element being attached to a groove in the inner portion on a bridge side of the rim opposite the temple side, wherein each of the first and second coupling elements are magnets and each of the first and second mating elements are magnetic, andwherein the first and second coupling elements are attracted to the first and second mating elements, respectively. 13. Modular eyewear comprising: a frame having two temples for resting the frame on a user's ears, a bridge for resting the frame on a user's nose, and a rim located between the bridge and each of the two temples, each of the rims including a front face, an inner portion circumscribing the rim having a groove adjacent to the bridge, the groove having a first frame magnet attached along a portion thereof, and an indentation adjacent the corresponding temple, the indentation having a second frame magnet attached along a portion thereof; andremovable lens assemblies insertable into each of the rims of the frame, each of the lens assemblies including a lens having a body with front and rear surfaces and a perimeter thereabout, a tab applied to and extending from the lens, a first magnetic coupling attached along a first portion of the perimeter, and a second magnetic coupling attached along a second portion of the perimeter,wherein, when the lens assemblies are inserted into the frame, the first frame magnet magnetically attaches to the first magnetic coupling and the second frame magnet magnetically attaches to the second magnetic coupling, andwherein the indentation of each of the rims of the frame further has a lip on a bottom thereof for supporting a temple side opposite a bridge side of each of the lens assemblies, wherein the lip is set at a depth from the front face such that a top surface of the tab of the lens assemblies is flush with the front face upon insertion of the lens assemblies into the frame. 14. The modular eyewear of claim 13, wherein the rim is a full rim.
