Auxiliary optical components for eyewear

Abstract

In some embodiments, an auxiliary optical device for a mobile electronic device has a mounting component that is configured to be selectively attachable and detachable from the mobile electronic device. The mounting component is configured to be coupled to and decoupled from a mobile electronic device using an anchor that is inserted into a port of the mobile electronic device. In some embodiments, the auxiliary optical device attaches to the mobile electronic device by clamping or otherwise contracting or squeezing upon a portion of the mobile electronic device. In further embodiments, the auxiliary optical device is configured to be attached to wearable devices, such as eyewear that includes an onboard camera lens.

The following is claimed: 
     
         1 . An auxiliary optical device configured to be removably attachable to an electronically enabled eyewear, the auxiliary optical device comprising:
 a mounting component configured to be removably attachable to the electronically enabled eyewear, the mounting component comprising an optical mounting region configured to be positioned near an onboard camera lens of the electronically enabled eyewear; and   an optical component coupled to the optical mounting region of the mounting component, wherein the optical component is configured to be in optical alignment with the onboard camera lens of the wearable electronic device when the mounting component is removably attached to the electronically enabled eyewear.   
     
     
         2 . A combination of the auxiliary optical device of  claim 1  and the electronically enabled eyewear.
