Abstract: An assembly with removable and replaceable wire arms is used to attach different nose pad configurations to eyeglass frames for enhanced versatility. A plate with front and back surfaces and opposing side edges mounts on the bridge portion of the eyeglass frames. Opposing right and left wire members extending downwardly from the side edges of the plate terminate in a coupling mechanism adapted to receive a nose pad. The wire members are manually bendable, enabling a user to independently adjust the distance between the nose pads and the distance of the nose pads from the eyeglass frames. The coupling mechanisms may include holes to receive nose pads with posts, and screws to hold the posts in position, or barbed fins to receive nose pads with slots that engage with the barbed fins. The coupling mechanisms may receive physically separate nose pads or nose pads interconnected through an upper nose rest.

Abstract: A method of custom fitting eyeglass frames to the nose of a wearer, which is in part performed by an optician or the like and in part performed by an eyeglass frames laboratory. The optician or the like heats a preferably horseshoe shaped wax wafer until it is moldable, then positions such on the bridge area of the wearer's nose and applies pressure thereto, bending the wafer concavely to conform its shape to that of the bridge of the nose. The eyeglass frames are then situated against the convex surface of the wafer in their normal viewing position and an imprint of the nose bridge portion of the frames is made on the outer surface of the wax wafer. Finally, the wax pattern thus formed is removed from the frames and wearer's nose and cooled to fix its shape, and the outline of eyeglass frames bridge is drawn thereon.
