About MeThese clip-on round dark grey lenses have a silver coloured metal frame.
A metal semicircle joins the two lenses together at the top and the lenses each have two metal hooks on the back of the frame to attach them on to spectacles.
The lenses fold together so they can fit in to the square snakeskin case lined with beige linen.
