Nose bridge
The upper, bony part of the nose between the eyes, where glasses rest.
Also: nasal bridge, dorsum
The nose bridge is the top of the nose, made of the paired nasal bones and the cartilage below them. Its height and width vary widely among people everywhere. For eyewear it is the most important measurement after frame width: a low or flat bridge may let frames slip down onto the cheeks, which is why many makers offer low-bridge or "Asian fit" frames with higher nose pads. Profile shapes such as aquiline or straight are described along the dorsum below it.
