1. Articulated dual lens eyeglasses, comprising:
- first and second orbitals, each orbital having a medial and a lateral zone;
a medial connector on the medial zone of each orbital; and
a bridge movably connected to the medial connector on each orbital;
wherein each orbital is moveable throughout a range of motion of no more than about 15°
with respect to the bridge.
