Abstract:
An eyewear display includes a frame comprising two lens rims and a nose bridge, a first lens rim of the two lens rims holding a lens stack including a first lens (e.g., a world-side lens) and a waveguide. A detachable rim piece is attached to the first lens rim, and, upon being detached from the first lens rim, the detachable rim piece exposes a loading cavity housing a lens retention component. The lens retention component is removable from the loading cavity to insert a second lens with a vision correction prescription within the lens stack of the first lens rim. The lens retention component is then re-inserted into the loading cavity to fix the second lens (e.g., an eye-side lens) into the lens stack of the first lens rim. The detachable rim piece is then re-attached to cover the loading cavity and the lens retention component.
