nose bridges

Glasses rest here

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

In eyewear, the nose bridge is the part of glasses or sunglasses that rests on this area, connecting the two lenses: These frames have adjustable nose bridges for a better fit.

Nose bridge also refers to the flexible metal strip sewn into face masks that molds to the wearer's nose.
