What component helps distribute the weight of the frame over the nose area?

The strap bridge is designed to help distribute the weight of the frame evenly across the nose area. This feature is particularly important for improving comfort during wear, as it reduces pressure points and prevents discomfort or pain that can arise from uneven weight distribution. By helping to balance the frame's weight, the strap bridge contributes to a more stable and secure fit that enhances the overall wearing experience.

In the context of frame design, the endpiece connects the front of the frame to the temple arms but does not specifically address weight distribution on the nose. The crest, or the top part of the frame, typically does not serve the purpose of weight distribution. The bevel refers to the angled edge of the lens cut, primarily related to how the lens sits in the frame rather than how weight is managed across the nose area. Each of these components plays an important role in overall frame functionality and aesthetics, but the strap bridge is specifically engineered for comfort through weight distribution.
