Claim Text:
1. Eyewear including a frame front having first and second sides to which are attached respective first and second temple arms, the frame front pivotally coupled to the first and second temple arms to provide multiple tilt adjustment positions that enable a person wearing the eyewear to rotate the frame front between a forward-facing adjustment position and a near-field adjustment position, comprising: a frame front having a top long side and first and second short sides to which are attached respective first and second temple arms; first and second pivot joints defining a pivot axis, the first pivot joint operatively connected to the first short side of the frame front and the first temple arm for pivotal movement relative to each other, and the second pivot joint operatively connected to the second short side of the frame front and the second temple arm for pivotal movement relative to each other; and first and second nose pad arms coupling respective first and second nose pads to the frame front, the first and second nose pads having respective first and second nose bridge-contacting surfaces that rest on respective first and second contact points on the nose bridge of the person wearing the eyewear, and the first and second nose pad arms extending from the frame front in a direction that sets an offset distance between the first and second nose bridge-contacting surfaces and the frame front to establish a vertical drop distance that allows the person wearing the eyewear to rotate the frame front about the pivot axis to the near-field adjustment position to see over the top long side of the frame front and to maintain the first and second contact points in substantially stationary positions on the nose bridge of the person wearing the eyewear during the rotation of the frame front about the pivot axis to the near-field adjustment position.
