Illuminated novelty eye glasses include a frame having a body with portions that define lens openings and adjacent hinge regions, and a bridge region between the portions defining the lens openings. The body has a channel formed therein traversing around the lens openings and across the bridge region. The body is formed from a transparent or translucent material. Ear pieces are connected to the frame at the hinge regions. The ear pieces each have a hinge region for hingedly connecting the ear pieces to the body such that the ear pieces fold inwardly toward the body. The ear pieces each include a compartment and a channel extending generally from the compartment to the hinge region. An LED assembly is formed from a plurality of light emitting diodes mounted to a plurality of conductors. A power source is operably connected to the LED assembly and is carried in one of the ear piece compartments and a switch operably connects the power source to the LED assembly and is carried in the other ear piece compartment. The LED assembly is disposed in the channel in the frame and in the ear pieces and the light emitting diodes are illuminated by actuation of the switch. Light from the light emitting diodes is transmitted by the diodes and is visible through the frame and ear pieces.
