However, the dimmable lens has the disadvantage that the spectacles are expensive. Also, according to the flip-up method, raising and lowering the sunglasses is troublesome, and when the sunglasses are not used, the sunglasses remain in a state of being flipped up, which is an obstacle. On the other hand, in the case of the sunglasses without a vine, since both ends are merely hooked on the vine on both sides of the eyeglasses, there is no sense of stability, and since the sunglasses are dropped inside the eyeglasses, they are annoying and uncomfortable. The present invention has been made to solve such a conventional problem, and is inexpensive and easy to handle, does not disturb when not in use, has a stable mounting state, and does not cause a feeling of strangeness. To provide detachable sunglasses.
