Claim:
A method of reading the outline of a bezel ( 10 A) of a rim of an eyeglass frame ( 10 ), the method including a contacting step of putting the bottom of the bezel ( 10 A) into contact with a feeler finger ( 9 ; 9 ′; 45 ; 52 ) belonging to a feeler ( 8 ) and pointing along a feeler axis (C) or with a feeler blade belonging to a feeler ( 8 ) and extending along a feeler plane, and a feeling step during which the feeler ( 8 ) is moved along the bezel ( 10 A) to feel the bottom of the bezel ( 10 A) while turning about an axis of rotation (B), the method being characterized in that the feeler blade or finger ( 9 ; 9 ′; 45 ; 52 ), at least when located in a temple zone of the rim of the frame ( 10 ), points obliquely towards the rim of the frame ( 10 ) and towards its rear side that is to be placed facing the eyes of a wearer, such that the feeler axis (C) or the feeler plane forms a non-zero feeler angle (A 1 ) with a plane orthogonal to the axis of rotation (B) of the feeler ( 8 ).
