Nose Pad Arms Inserts
Nose pads arm inserts, also known as Racker arms, accommodate patients that need help to support plastic frames in a comfortable position. Nose pad arms installed on plastic frames also help patients with low or no nose bridges. Oakley created a brand extension with certain plastic frames that include adjustable nose pad arms, which are referred to as "Asian Fit". There are two different techniques used to apply the nose pad inserts: Fused and pressure (see descriptions below). Both methods are effective and comparable when executed correctly.
Fused:
Frame is measured and marked for position and then heat is applied to premade nosed pad arm. When the metal pad arm is hot enough the nose pad arm is embedded into the plastic frame fusing the plastic to the metal
Pressure:
Frame is marked and marked for position. Frame is then drilled out with precisely gauged drill bits, which allow just enough room for nose pad arm to be pressed in with proper tools
