A modular facade and eyewear includes: a) a central frame with two eyeglass supporting members, lens and a bridge member; b) lenses, c) at least two temple members, hingedly and connected to the frame; d) a lens-free facade member removably attached to the central frame. A stand-alone facade for eyewear has attachment mechanisms and a central alignment component. A user may wear the modular eyewear with or without the facade and with matching, non-matching or substitute facade members.
