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.
