Abstract:
A clip-on wipers are provided that attach to eyeglasses to prevent the buildup of raindrops or snow on the lenses. It attaches via a clip-on clamp thus allowing it to be removed when not needed. A battery pack, envisioned consisting of AAA batteries supplies power to a two-speed motor, via a control switch. The motor then drives a reciprocating mechanical linkage, which moves two small wiper blades across the surface of the lenses. Such action keeps the lenses free from rain and snow buildup when the glasses are worn outdoors in inclement weather.

Abstract:
The self-cleaning eyeglasses are an invention that provides an efficient and convenient means for cleaning the surface of lenses without removing the eyeglasses from the face of the wearer. In order to accomplish this the present invention includes a novel design for a housing shaped to seat a watch battery and formed within the frame of the eyeglasses. Also introduced by the present invention is a dual motor design wherein each motor is housed in the frames of the eyeglasses above the lenses of the eyeglasses. The motors rotate a shaft over a fixed acute angle. Attached to the shafts of the motors are wiper arms held flush to the surface of the lenses. Also housed within the frames is an On\Off switch. When the switch is activated the watch battery will supply current to the motors which will drive the shaft to sweep the wiper arms over the lenses.
