The innovative fusion of technology, design, and sustainability enables new opportunities for advanced human-computer interaction, health applications, and user-centric experience. This paper presents an integration of the nine seminal studies by synthesizing the findings and primary data obtained from user surveys for evaluating the current status of smart eyewear along with related challenges in this domain. The discussion includes varying trends from gaze-contingent AI systems to e-textiles, parametric design for customization, sustainability-driven manufacturing, and age-related eyewear solutions. From secondary research put together with the results of the survey of primary research, critical barriers such as scalability, durability, and adaptation by the user are identified while putting forth a methodology based on cutting-edge design fused with enhanced usability. Among the recommended solutions of specific needs, some also involve gaze-based interaction and lightweight e-textiles combined with sustainable materials from 3D printing. By analyzing user perceptions through surveys, the study underscores the significance of integrating technology with comfort and accessibility. The findings point toward a future where smart eyewear serves as a holistic augmentation of human cognition and health.
