Claim Text:
1. A method of making an eyewear frame for securing a pair of lenses thereto, the method comprising: a) making separate rigid right and left sections of the eyewear frame using a first molding material in a first molding process, the rigid right and left sections forming separate solid support structures for holding the respective lenses when cured; b) making a flexible nose bridge separate from the rigid right and left sections of the eyewear frame, using a second molding material in a second molding process, the nose bridge being deformable when cured; c) inserting the pre-made flexible nose bridge into a space between the pre-formed rigid right and left sections; and d) joining the pre-made flexible nose bridge with the respective pre-formed rigid right and left sections using a bonding material in a third molding process to bond the right section, left section and nose bridge together to form the eyewear frame when the bonding material is cured.
