An eyeglass frame shape measurement apparatus, comprising: frame hold means configured to hold right and left rims of an eyeglass frame, the right and left rims including grooves respectively; measuring means including a tracing stylus configured to be inserted into the grooves of the right and left rims, and detect movement of the tracing stylus to measure shapes of the rims; first measurement start signal input means (4, 4a) for inputting a first measurement start signal for a first measuring mode in which whole peripheries of the right and left rims are measured in a state that the right and left rims of the eyeglass frame are held by the frame hold means; second measurement start signal input means (4, 4b, 4c) for inputting a second measurement start signal for a second measuring mode in which the whole periphery of one of the right and left rims of the eyeglass frame is measured in a state that the one of the right and left rims of the eyeglass frame is held by the frame hold means; and control means for driving the measuring means to measure the whole peripheries of the right and left rims when the first measurement start signal is input, and drive the measuring means to measure the whole periphery of the one of the left and right rims held by the frame hold means when the second measurement start signal is input, characterized by third measurement start signal input means (4, 4d) for inputting a third measurement start signal for a third measuring mode in which nose side portions of the left rim and the nose side portions of the right rim are partially measured in a state that the right and left rims of the eyeglass frame are held by the frame hold means, the nose side portions including nose side ends of the left and right rims; wherein the control means drives the measuring means to measure partially the nose side portions of the left and right rims when the third measurement start signal is input. frame hold means configured to hold right and left rims of an eyeglass frame, the right and left rims including grooves respectively; measuring means including a tracing stylus configured to be inserted into the grooves of the right and left rims, and detect movement of the tracing stylus to measure shapes of the rims; first measurement start signal input means (4, 4a) for inputting a first measurement start signal for a first measuring mode in which whole peripheries of the right and left rims are measured in a state that the right and left rims of the eyeglass frame are held by the frame hold means; second measurement start signal input means (4, 4b, 4c) for inputting a second measurement start signal for a second measuring mode in which the whole periphery of one of the right and left rims of the eyeglass frame is measured in a state that the one of the right and left rims of the eyeglass frame is held by the frame hold means; and control means for driving the measuring means to measure the whole peripheries of the right and left rims when the first measurement start signal is input, and drive the measuring means to measure the whole periphery of the one of the left and right rims held by the frame hold means when the second measurement start signal is input, characterized by third measurement start signal input means (4, 4d) for inputting a third measurement start signal for a third measuring mode in which nose side portions of the left rim and the nose side portions of the right rim are partially measured in a state that the right and left rims of the eyeglass frame are held by the frame hold means, the nose side portions including nose side ends of the left and right rims; wherein the control means drives the measuring means to measure partially the nose side portions of the left and right rims when the third measurement start signal is input.
