An adjustable nose-rest mechanism for bi-focals that allows ready one-hand and variable adjustment of the nose rest elevation relative to the lenses in order to vertically position the lenses (rather than tilting of the head) for ease of viewing computer screens and the like. The mechanism generally includes a boss attached or hooked onto the bi-focals, said boss comprising a hollow sleeve aligned vertically. An elongate slider is slidably carried in the boss, and a nose rest is attached at the lower end of the slider. A set screw is threaded frontally into the boss and is tightenable against the slider. The slider can be adjusted along a continuous range of elevations and locked into any of said positions by tightening the set screw, thereby facilitating adjustment of the nose rest. A mechanism for temporarily attaching a singularly adjustable nose-rest to any standard bi-focals, comprising an internally threaded tube, adjusting yoke, and spring support member.
