I cannot see without wearing eyeglasses. I am having rhinoplasty in a few weeks and have been told I cannot wear my eyeglasses for 4-6 weeks following surgery. I am not able to wear contact lenses, so my question is this: Is there a way to wear eyeglasses post-surgery without causing damage or deformity to the new nose?

Answer: Glasses after rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. Some of my patients have become quite resourceful and I have seen glasses hanging from the bill of a baseball type cap and I have also seen them hanging from contraptions that tape to the forehead. Both of these can be very effective, but not likely to win you any style points. All the best!

Answer: Wearing glasses after a rhinoplasty In our practice, we take the cast off at 6 days. Patients are able to wear the glasses across the cast of the nose. Once the cast has been removed, the tape is removed from the backside of the cast, and discarded. The actual plastic molded cast is given to the patient and that can be fitted across the nose and the weight of the glasses is dispersed across the entire bridge.
