Original Abstract Submitted

eyewear having a frame, a hinge, and a hyperextendable temple. an extender is coupled to the hinge and the temple, and the extender extends with respect to the hinge allowing hyperextension of the temple with respect to the frame. a cam is configured to leverage the temple away from the frame during hyperextension and reduce wear. a cosmetic trim may include a recess that receives a protrusion of the frame in the open position, and which protrusion moves out of the recess during hyperextension and creates the cam.
