Abstract
An eyeglass assembly that supports lenses over the eyes without the use of a nose bridge or any other structure that rests upon the nose. The assembly includes a temple element having a first end and a second end that extends around the back of the head. A first lens frame element or lens is coupled to the first end of the temple element. Similarly, a second lens frame element or lens is coupled to the second end of the temple element. As a result, the temple element supports the first lens frame element or lens and the second lens frame element or lens a predetermined distance apart over the eyes. No structure extends across the gap over the nose. The temple element is biased against the sides of the head to help retain the assembly in place.
