nosepieces

Eyewear facial supports

Nosepieces are the parts of various devices that rest on, fit over, or near the nose.

On eyeglasses, the nosepiece is the bridge or the small pads that keep frames positioned on the face.

On a microscope, the nosepiece is the rotating turret that holds multiple objective lenses.

Protective masks and respirators have nosepieces that help create a seal against the face.

The nosepieces on my glasses keep slipping.
