  • Patent number: 5193534
    Abstract: Frames for eyeglasses allow passage of oxygen through or along the temples of the eyeglasses to the nose piece of a patient needing glasses and an oxygen supply. A hollow shell frame in one embodiment is sealed and the oxygen passes inside the frame from a double or single attachment of a source tube to the ends of the temple ear pieces. Oxygen is supplied to the patient's nose piece from tubes opening below the frame which extend downward on each side of the nose rest and fasten to a standard insert nose piece or a nose shield through which the patient receives the oxygen. A second embodiment has a tube passed through the temple and inside the frame around the nose piece of the glasses for attachment to the patient's oxygen supply nose piece. A third embodiment has the frame of the glasses structured to support an external oxygen tube.
