ABSTRACT:
A novel ophthalmic device for use by an optometrist or the like which comprises a unique fitting eyeglass frame for use with a plurality of detachable nosepiece attachments which allows the optometrist to quickly and more properly fit each patient's nose with a nose bridge that is suitably designed for the configuration of his nose. The removable nosepiece attachments are pivotably connected to the novel opthalmic frame thereby allowing a front-to-rear adjustment and locking of the nosepiece on the opthalmic frame. A portion of the plurality of adjustable nosepieces may contain a coated, soft, porous material in the area of juxtaposition to the user's nose to provide a more comfortable fit for the user.
By the use of the new and novel ophthalmic fitting frame and removable nosepieces in combination with the new and novel methods herein disclosed, the optometrist or the like is able to properly fit the eyeglass user with a combination of lens, frame and removable nosepieces which may then be ordered by the user in his particular color and style according to his individual taste.
