         3 . The method of  claim 2  wherein the set of eyeglasses further comprises a film on an external face of at least one of the first lens and the second lens configured to display imagery. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3  wherein the imagery is augmented vision imagery and wherein the data to display is augmented imagery data. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3  wherein the imagery is assisted vision imagery. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 2  wherein the set of eyeglasses further comprises a film on an internal face of at least one of the first lens and the second lens configured to display imagery. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 2  wherein the set of eyeglasses further comprises a first film on an external face of at least one of the first lens and the second lens configured to display a first set of imagery and a second film on an internal face of at least one of the first lens and the second lens configured to display a second set of imagery and wherein the first set of imagery and the second set of imagery combine to provide imagery perceived as having three-dimensional depth. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the audio comprises an audio prompt requesting information from the user. 
     
     
         9 . A system comprising:
 a set of wireless earpieces comprising:
 a left ear piece and a right ear piece, each of the wireless earpieces comprising:
 an ear piece housing, 
 a wireless transceiver disposed within the ear piece housing, 
 a processor disposed within the housing and operatively connected to the wireless transceiver, and 
 at least one sensor operatively connected to the processor; 
 
   a set of eyeglasses comprising:
 an eyeglass frame, 
 a wireless transceiver disposed within the eyeglass frame, 
 a processor disposed within the eyeglass frame, and 
 a first lens and a second lens operatively connected to the eyeglass frame; and 
 a thin film polymer layer placed on at least one of the first lens or the second lens; 
   wherein the set of wireless earpieces are wirelessly linked with the set of eyeglasses; and   wherein the set of wireless earpieces issue voice prompts to a user requesting assistance in providing context to an image viewed using the set of eyeglasses;   wherein eyeglasses data sensed from the set of eyeglasses is wirelessly transmitted to the set of wireless earpieces and the voice prompts are generated at the set of wireless earpieces based on the eyeglasses data; and   wherein the user may respond verbally or non-verbally to identify a person and/or object within the image viewed using the set of eyeglasses.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the size of the person and/or the object may be enhanced to emphasize the person or the object through augmentation. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9  wherein the color of the person and/or the object may be altered to emphasize the person or the object through augmentation. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the image of the person and/or the object may blink to emphasize the person or the object through augmentation. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first lens and the second lens is a corrective lens.
