An adjustable and detachable nose pad assembly ( 22 ) for eyeglasses ( 10 ) is provided and includes a central bridge section ( 24 ) with a pair of obliquely oriented and diverging posts ( 26 ) each supporting a nose pad ( 34, 36 ). Each nose pad ( 34, 36 ) is shiftable relative to an associated post ( 26 ) and can be locked in place in a desired position by means of a mechanical interlock assembly ( 44, 46 ). The bridge section ( 24 ) has a pair of hook elements ( 30, 32 ) which are designed for seating within complemental recesses ( 50, 52 ) formed in the bridge ( 16 ) of eyeglasses ( 10 ); in this manner, the assembly ( 22 ) may be selectively detached from the eyeglasses ( 10 ) for adjustment, and then can be reattached. The invention also provides an eyewear assembly ( 64 ) including primary eyeglasses ( 10 ), a detachable nose pad assembly ( 22 ), and an auxiliary eyeglass unit ( 54 ) also provided with a nose pad assembly ( 62 ) similar to the assembly ( 22 ). The primary eyeglasses ( 10 ) may be used in the normal fashion with assembly ( 22 ), or alternately the unit ( 54 ) may be secured to the primary eyeglasses ( 10 ).
