Abstract

We suggest a new solution for the problem of wearing eyeglasses after rhinoplasty. We present an original eyeglasses model that enables to avoid pressure on the nasal bridge. In contrast to other tools suggested in previous reports, our device is small, very light, comfortable and pleasant for the patient, allowing at the same time a clear vision. We strongly recommended the use of our device to solve the problem of wearing eyeglasses during the post-operative period of nose surgeries.
