Abstract:
Eyeglasses with extension member supports, for supporting the eyeglass frame off of and above the nasal bone, comprised of an eyeglass frame having a pair of laterally aligned lens and, optionally, a pair of circuitous frames, each circuitous frame circumscribing and enclosing either lens; a bridge disposed medially between either lens, a pair of temple arms with distal and proximal ends, and a pair of extension members, each extension member having an upper end articulating with either lens, or its circuitous frame if provided, and a lower end articulating with the proximal end of either temple arm. Each temple arm articulates with the lower end of the extension member at an angle rotated in the parasagittal plane, downward from the traverse plane of the lenses. This rotation permits the temple arms to rest upon the zygomatic arch of the wearer's cranium, thereby supporting the frame off of and above the nasal bone of the wearer.
