Convertible Switch Glasses give you two frames in one

If your optician no longer offers that two-for-one price on glasses, here's the next best thing. For those who crave variety and uniqueness in their eyewear, Switch Glasses let you spin around their lenses 180 degrees. Rotate the temples around to the opposite side, and when you put them on you'll reveal the other side of the frame which can be an entirely different color or style. Now you can wear those conventional Clark Kent-looking specs at work, but transform them after the day is done, revealing your glittery and flamboyant side for barhopping and carousing.

We've seen different snap-on colors for glasses frames, but they're nothing like this creative idea from designer Hyo-Jong Kim. Might we suggest carrying a microfiber cloth along with you whenever you're wearing these glasses? You'll be needing it to remove a few fingerprints soon after you perform the old switcheroo.

Unless somehow you happen to have the same prescription in both lenses, this design won't work. When you flip the glasses around, the left lens becomes the right lens, and vice versa.
