In one embodiment, a single strap is attached to both lenses by two C-clips, preferably at the lower portion of each frame, with at least one of the C-clips being movable to raise or lower the glasses. In another embodiment, two straps partially encircle each lense and are interconnected by a movable bridge. The straps are manually rotated in opposite directions to raise and lower the movable bridge to adjust the position of the eyeglasses.
