    Adhesive Silicone Nose pads

    I used to be able to get and I can't remember where, adhesive silicone nose pads for reducing or elevating zyl bridges. All I can find now are those that require drilling of the frame and I find the others are better.

    Thank you,

    Chip, remember the ones also that we attached to zyl useing acetone. Go near a "zyl" frame today with that and watch it die. Have not seen either for many years.

    Hilco used to carry the Morris line of stick-ons both in foam and silicone. I see they no longer have either. I have used the ones with the holes, but you have to drill them.
    I think there is a very good reason they're no longer made.
    I actually do have one card with two pair of the ones you're seeking if you want them.

    We get ours from McCray and White Ophthalmic. They're both Canadian companies, so I'm not sure if this helps you.:o

    My twin sisters practice OD in the community where more than 50% of local residents are Asian. Surprisingly, high base curve sunglasses seem to be popular but I hear complaint day and night because wrap frames sit on cheek intead of end user's nose!:hammer:

    During this trip to China, DOCInChina and I found/developed nose pad arm extention for both plastic and metal frames. From now on, my customers don't expect me to "pull original nose pad arms loooooooooger" anymore! :cheers:
