ABSTRACT:
An eyeglass frame and nasal cannula assembly for inconspicuously administering oxygen or other gases into the nostrils of a patient having respiratory ailments. An eyeglass frame has a pair of grooves in the rear surface of its front piece and a groove in the interior surface of each of its hinged temples. A nasal cannula assembly comprising a pair of cannula tubes is fitted in the grooves. One end of each of the cannula tubes is adapted for insertion in one nostril of the patient's nose and the opposite end of each of the cannula tubes is connected to a portable source of supply of oxygen or another gas to be administered to the patient. The overall appearance of the eyeglass frame is substantially identical to that of a conventional eyeglass frame and all but a small portion of the cannula tubes are hidden from view.
