bridge of nose

Between the eyes

The bridge of the nose is the bony upper part between the eyes, where the nose meets the forehead.

It's the section that supports eyeglasses: Her glasses left red marks on the bridge of her nose.

The bridge connects the softer tip and nostrils to the harder nasal bones near the skull.
