nose bridge
Glasses rest here
The nose bridge is the bony upper portion of the nose between the eyes, where the nasal bones meet the skull.
It's the part where eyeglasses rest: These frames sit too high on my nose bridge.
In eyewear design, nose bridge measurements determine fit.
The term also refers to the corresponding part of glasses themselves: The nose bridge on these sunglasses is adjustable.
