Abstract

To reduce pressure of wearing spectacles on a wearer's ears and nose, a spectacles supporting headband (10) is provided, for use with spectacles having lenses, a bridge, and two arms (70) positionable over a wearer's ears (75). The spectacles supporting headband comprises a head-gripping member (20) and two brackets (30), each bracket comprising a first projection (40), the spectacles supporting headband configured to move between an inactive and active position, relative to a user's head, wherein, in the active position, each first projection is configured to support a respective arm (70) of the spectacles, such that the spectacles are lifted, and held, off the ears (75), and wherein each bracket also comprises a second projection (50) to grip the respective spectacles arm between it and the first projection, the projections being in fixed locations relative to the headband, to prevent the respective arm (70) tilting relative to the head-gripping member.
