A nose support for a pair of eyeglasses is disclosed. The nose support comprises an elongate main body comprising a flexing section which is reversibly deflectable between an unflexed state and a flexed state at a proximal end of the main body, a contact section at a distal end of the main body and a soft resilient organic polymeric shell which encases the main body.

Nose support for eyeglasses

A curved eye protection shield for welding protection. The eye protection shield has an electrically switchable darkening filter and a protective cover. The darkening filter has eye facing major inner and outer surfaces, and the protective cover has major inner and outer surfaces. The protective cover is provided for arrangement on the inner surface of the darkening filter. The inner and outer surface of the darkening filter are equidistant, whereas the inner and outer surface of the protective cover are non-equidistant. The invention is advantageous in that it provides an eye protection shield having a minimized refractive power.

Curved eye protection shield for welding protection

A side shield retainer kit is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a side shield retainer kit includes a spring bar having first and second engagement surfaces and an outer surface including a sloped portion. A cylindrical polymeric retainer having an outer major surface and an inner major surface is positionable around the spring bar and is configured to secure the spring bar to a spectacle side shield upon exposure to heat.
