title: Postoperative elevation of eyeglasses from the nasal bridge.
abstract: After surgery on the proximal nose, wearing eyeglasses can be difficult and uncomfortable. In addition, pressure on the skin underneath the eyeglass nose pads may modify wound healing. We describe simple techniques using readily available materials and optical devices that either reduce or remove pressure on the nose from eyeglasses.
