    Confused Looking For a frame design

    We have a patient that wears a Cpap machine at night that likes to read to fall asleep. She is wearing a full face design the, Resmed Airfit F10 in particular and cannot even keep her glasses on due to the design.

    The question is, does anyone know of a vendor that makes a frame for this type of application or did I maybe just have a million dollar idea?

    I really want to get her a SV reader, but need an idea of a way to get the lenses to stay put in front of her eyeballs.

    thanks everyone.

    I don't know if it would work, but there is a company 'oxyview' that makes eyeglass frames with built in oxygen lines, so they are much less noticeable/cumbersome. Oxygen line connect to frame at end of temple tip, runs inside temple, then inside top eyewire, and down through nose pad arms. then there is just a small amount of tube that hooks down around sides of nose and up to the nostrils.

    Again I have no idea if that would work with a Cpap.
    Patient, ".. Doctor says I have a subscription for stigmata.. Can you fill that?"
    Me, "..Um.. "

ID:	11733I stole this pic from another post (thanks Coupe) but this would work great for what the patient is wanting! Any ideas of where I could come across one of these?
