    Nez Pinz glasses

    I have a patient looking for a Pince-Nez spectacle. Any ideas/sources?

    I usually find them in antique stores. I'm not sure that anyone is manufacturing them anymore.

    Thank you Diopterman!

    Looks like I have some readiing to do to educate myself in this. My largest concern is goig to be bridge size. At first glance it seems these came in various bridge sizes for better fits.

    I'll email the blog writter for more info. He seems to be a afficianado of these.
    What kind of collection do you have? I haven't added anything to ine in many years. To tell you the truth up until today I haven't even thought about it. I beacame frustrated years ago when all I could find was 1920's forward. I was always trying to push further back but not always an easy thing to do.
