Spectacle assembly for faces without a prominent upper nasal support

Abstract

A spectacle assembly structured for use by individuals of different facial characteristics comprising a pair of lenses and a nose-bridge extending between the lens pair in interconnecting relation thereto. A nose pad assembly is connected to the nose- bridge and extends rearwardly thereof in supported engagement with a prominent nasal support on an individual's nose, wherein the location of the prominent nasal support is determined by the facial characteristics of the individual. The nose-bridge and the nose pad assembly are disposed in an operative position relative to the optical centers of the lens pair so as to facilitate substantial alignment between the optical centers and the pupils of the individual's eyes, when the nose pad assembly engages the prominent nasal support. When the prominent nasal support is disposed along the length of the individual's nose and in spaced relation to the nasal root of the individual's nose, the operative position of the nose-bridge and the nose pad assembly is preferably between the optical centers and the lower peripheral portions of the lens pair. As such, the spectacles may be comfortably and accurately worn by individuals having different facial characteristics including, but not limited to a less than prominent support area at the nasal root of the individual's nose.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to eyeglass assemblies intended for use by persons having a generally flat or non-protruding upper nasal region approximately where the upper portion of the nose meets the forehead to the extent that the upper nasal region is insufficient to reliably consistently support conventional constructions Glasses. Accordingly, the eyeglass assembly of the present invention includes a nose bridge disposed at a predetermined effective position relative to the optical center of the lens for engagement with a sufficiently protruding nose support disposed along the length of the wearer's nose, the nose The upper support is spaced apart from the generally flat upper nasal region. The optical center is thus aligned with the visual axis of the wearer's pupil. Background technique [0002] The use of glasses to improve people's vision is common throughout the world, although most of the world's people do not have the typical Western Euro...
