Abstract
Abstract Free-standing, prescription, convex lens spectacles are mounted in front of a swivel mirror which benefits people with the eye condition hypermetropia or farsightedness. The free-standing lenses are rimless and are connected to L-shaped arms which are attached to the frame of the swivel mirror. The lenses are adjusted by an optometrist, along with the L-shaped arms to custom fit each individual. The farsighted person looks at the mirror through the lenses. One can now use two hands to apply cosmetics to eyes and face, or to attend to eyes and face without image being blurred, and by not having conventional spectacles on the face to only get in the way.
