1. A pair of glasses, comprising:
- a first lens holder for receiving a first lens, the first lens holder having a first side and a second side;
a second lens holder for receiving a second lens, the second lens holder having a first side and a second side;
a bridge element coupling the first side of the first lens holder to the second side of the second lens holder;
a first temple having a first end and a second end, with the first end secured proximate to the second side of the first lens holder;
a second temple having a first end and a second end, with the first end secured proximate to the first side of the second lens holder; and
wherein the first temple is a multi-part temple having a first part and a second part, the first part being closer to the corresponding lens holder than the second part, and the second part of the first temple being configured to be removably coupled to the first part of the first temple using a connector, andwherein a data storage device is at least partially internal to the second part of the first temple.

Abstract
Techniques for providing eyewear with electrical components are disclosed. The electrical components can provide electrical technology to eyewear without having to substantially compromise aesthetic design principles of the eyewear. The electrical components can be partially or completely internal to eyewear. The electrical components can also be attached to the eyewear as an after-market enhancement. The electrical components can operate independently or together with other electrical components provided elsewhere. Apparatus for presenting after-market electrical components are also disclosed.
