Abstract
An eyeglass positioning device configured to be positioned between a user's nose and eyeglasses frame to elevate multifocal lenses relative to a user's eyes to bring an intermediate or near field of vision into a line of sight for use with certain activities, such as computer use, when the user's head is in an upright and normal head tilt position. The eyeglass positioning device preferably comprises a connector and two support arms that simply sit on a user's nose in either an upright or an inverted orientation, providing greater flexibility of use and comfort. The eyeglass positioning device may be used with a variety of shapes, styles, and sizes or eyeglass frames without requiring attachment to the frames or obstructing the field of view through the lenses. The eyeglass positioning device may include a visual or tactile indicator to aid in placing the device on a user's nose.
