Abstract

Disclosed is an interchangeable nosepiece system for an eyeglass frame. The nosepieces system can be used to adjust the orientation of a lens on a wearer's face such that the optical centerline of each lens extends in a predetermined relationship with respect to the wearer's actual straight ahead line of sight. The nosepieces are removably mounted onto eyewear and may be customized for the facial geometry of a particular wearer.
