Abstract

A method is disclosed of mounting a lens in either rim or surround of a spectacle frame in which each rim or surround has a rigid part and a filament which extends from one end of the rigid part to the other. The curvature of the rigid part is systematically taken into account over the portion of the trajectory of the necessary groove that corresponds to the rigid part concerned of the spectacle frame. Applications include corresponding spectacle frames.
