A pair of eyeglasses with additional lateral supports for elevating the bridge of the eyeglasses above the nasal bone of the wearers. These supports permit the use of eyeglasses by persons recovering from rhinoplasty. In one embodiment, a support member attaches at one end to the underside of the rear portion of the temple arms, and courses anteriorly, superiorly and medially so that the distal section engages with the zygomatic arch. Another embodiment has a generally straight vertical support member which contacts with and is support by the temporal mandibular joint. A final embodiment is comprised of a support arm, separate from the temple arm, which articulates with the lens frame and which courses superiorly and medially at its distal end to engage with the zygomatic arch.
