ABSTRACT:
An ophthalmic device for use with an ophthalmic eyeglass frame includes a detachable nosepiece designed to permit vertical and angular adjustment to fit the bridge of a user's nose and to permit the adjustment of the level of the eyeglass lens in relationship to the plane of the user's eye and includes first and second mounting tabs disposed on the eyeglass frame. A generally U-shaped nosepiece includes first and second legs terminating in first and second ends, respectively. The first leg includes a plurality of spaced apart apertures. The second leg includes a plurality of spaced apart apertures, each aperture being aligned with one of the plurality of spaced apart apertures located on the first leg. The nosepiece is disposed between the first and second mounting tabs, such that the first leg is disposed adjacent to the second mounting tab. Structure is disposed on the mounting tabs for selectively and frictionally engaging the apertures on the legs to retain the nosepiece on the eyeglass frame and to permit angular rotation and vertical positioning of the nosepiece with respect to the eyeglass frame.
