peer agreement (net): +4(nose) bridge Explanation: The ear pieces on each side are called "temples" "Eye Protection at the leading edge! Safety Glasses keep getting more and more stylish and it is becoming difficult to distinguish expensive brand name sun glasses from very affordable safety glasses. For those users that require more coverage and more style, the Triad safety glasses provide both. In addition to great style, the Triad offers excellent comfort in part due to the soft rubber nose bridge and soft rubber temple tips. You cannot find a more comfortable pair of glasses than Elvex new Triad." http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:lY4kiQ9dYWYJ:www.elvex.... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2009-02-26 08:08:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You might like this glossary: What are the parts of an eyeglass frame? Here are some of the frame terms you may hear when being fitted for a new pair of eyeglasses: Frame front: Front part of the eyeglass frame that holds the lenses in place and bridges the top of the nose. Eye wires (rims): Part of the frame front into which the lenses are inserted. Bridge: The area between the lenses that goes over the nose and supports 90 percent of the weight of the eyeglasses. * A keyhole bridge is shaped like an old-fashioned keyhole and rests on the sides of the upper part of the nose. This style is for those with small or flat nose bridges. * A saddle bridge is shaped like a saddle and spreads the weight of the frame across the sides and the top of the nose. This style works well for heavy glasses or for those who are sensitive to pressure. * An adjustable bridge includes nose pads that can be adjusted for fit and comfort. * A double bridge has a reinforcing bar over the top of the bridge. End pieces: Extensions of the frame front to which the temples are attached. Hinges: Part of the frame that connects the frame front to the temples and allows the temples to swing. Temples: Parts of the frame that extend over and/or behind the ears to help hold the frame in place. * Skull temples are the most popular for plastic frames. They are bent down slightly over the ear and follow the contour of the skull. * Comfort-cable temples hook behind the ear with a flexible metal cable and are good for children's glasses and for sport safety glasses. * Riding bow temples are similar to comfort-cables, except they are rigid and made of plastic. * Spring-hinged temples include hidden springs in the hinges that help keep the frame from slipping. They are sometimes more expensive, but usually more resistant to breakage. * Library (or paddle) temples are straight, so they can be slipped on and off easily. They are often used in reading glasses. Nose pads: Plastic pieces that may be attached directly to the frame or to pad arms. They help keep the frame in its proper position. Pad arms: Attachments that hold the nose pads in place and allow adjustments to help conform to the patient's bridge. Top bar: A reinforcing bar that crosses the top of the glasses on some metal frames, popular in aviator glasses. Temple tips: Plastic coatings that often cover the ends of the temples behind and/or over the ears. Rimless frames (or mountings): The temples and bridge attach by mountings directly to the lenses without the use of eyewires or rims.
