| Abstract: |
Eyeglasses with additional temple arm supports for supporting the frame of a pair of eyeglasses off of and above the nose and nasal bone. The glasses are used by patients recovering from rhinoplasty surgery but who must still have use of eyeglasses which do not contact the nasal bone or nose. In one embodiment, the frame is suspended above the nose by an enhanced counterweighed ear loop. In another embodiment, a stanchion is provided supported by the zygomatic arch to elevate the temple arm. Several embodiments support the temple arm with additional mandibular and temple rests extending orthogonally from the temple. Several additional embodiments replace the conventional ear loop with a pair of support pads at the end of a shortened temple arm. The support pads press against the two bony protuberances on the side of the wearer's head. These protuberances include the zygomatic arch, the mandibular condyle, and the temple. Pressure by the support pads against two of these protuberances provides sufficient support for the entire weight of the eyeglasses. Another embodiment is comprised of a support hoop disposed on the temple arm. The upper arc of the hoop is supported by the temple while the lower arc is supported by the mandible.
