A device to adjust a pair of pre-existing multifocal lens eyeglass frames on a head of a wearer, comprising:
- an adjustable band adapted to engage the head of the wearer comprising;
- a left gripping arm having a proximal end and a distal end and a right gripping arm having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the right gripping arm and the distal end of the left distal gripping arm grip the head of the wearer without engaging the ears of the wearer, and
- an adjustable extension engaging the forehead of the wearer comprising a top and a bottom, wherein the bottom of the extension is directed towards the bridge of the nose of the wearer, and wherein the proximal end of the left gripping arm, the proximal end of the right gripping arm and the top of the extension form a joint and the bottom of the extension further comprises a hook extending from the bottom of the extension to support a bridge of the pair of pre-existing multifocal lens eyeglass frames.
A method to adjust a pair of pre-existing multifocal lens eyeglass frames on a head of a wearer, comprising:
- (a) placing an adjustable band adapted to engage the head of the wearer comprising;
- a left gripping arm having a proximal end and a distal end and a right gripping arm having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the right gripping arm and the distal end of the left distal gripping arm grip the head of the wearer without engaging the ears of the wearer, and
- an adjustable extension engaging the forehead of the wearer further comprising a top and a bottom, wherein the bottom of the extension is directed towards the bridge of the nose of the wearer, and wherein the proximal end of the left gripping arm, the proximal end of the right gripping arm and the top of the extension form a joint and the bottom of the extension further comprises a hook extending from the bottom of the extension;
- (b) placing the pair of pre-existing multifocal lens eyeglass frames on the head of the wearer wherein the frames comprise a bridge and a pair of lenses wherein at least one lens comprises two or more lens powers;
- (c) placing the bridge of the pre-existing multifocal lens eyeglass frames on the hook of the device;
- (d) moving the hook to adjust the level of the pair of lenses and lens powers.
