Abstract
A formable nose pad distributes the weight of eyeglasses and accessories supported by the eyeglass frames over a large area of the wearer's nose. The nose pad has two inner tabs that can be formed to fit the wearer's nose, outer tabs that can be formed to fit the undersides of the eyeglass lenses and a flange through which the nose pad is attached to the eyeglass bridge. Slotted screw holes on the flange allow for height adjustment to fit the height of the wearer's nose.
