Clear Acetate Clip Nose Pads, 17mm

 
EYEGLASS NOSEPAD photo, under 350 kb EYEGLASSES NOSE PADS photo, under 350 kb This style of nose pad was once the main style used on most glasses. They are often called clip, clip-on or clamp-on nose pads and they are sold by the pair. These are made of clear acetate, which is the same firm material from which most plastic eyeglasses are made.  Nose pads size is measured the long way and these are 17 mm (11/16 inches) long. (The photo is of the same make and model, but size 15.) As the names suggest, they clip onto the ends of the nose pad arms on your glasses. 

Sometimes you may have to open the little prongs a bit to put them in place and then you bend the prongs down to clamp onto the fitting. Though there are smooth-faced pliers opticians use for this, small, household pliers can also be used. If using household needlenose pliers, for instance, it can help to cushion any pattern or serration on the face of the plier tips so as not to mar the nose pad surface.
