Learn the Essential Parts of Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses, similarly named glasses or spectacles, lenses set in frames for dressing in front of the eyes to aid divination or correct such defects of vision as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

In 1268 Roger Bacon made the newest recorded explanation on the use of lenses for Eyeglasses as optical purposes. Still, magnifying lenses inserted in cases were used for reading both in Europe and China at this time, and it is a subject of controversy whether the West learned from the East or vice versa.

In the shop for a new set of eyeglasses? Or is your stylish pair not responding correctly? Read on to dress for your next journey to the optician. Here are the nine principal pieces of eyeglasses:

Rims

The rims lend form and character to your eyeglasses—they also provide function by holding the lenses in place.

End pieces

The end pieces are the small parts on the frame that extend outward and connect the lenses to the temples.

Bridge

The bridge is the center of the frame resting on your nose and joins the two rims together.

Hinges

The hinges sit between the end pieces and the temples, allowing you to close your glasses by folding the temples inward.

Lenses

Lenses are the authentic pieces of glass, plastic, or other material held in place by the rims. The lenses are crafted and shaped with your unique prescription to help you see clearly.

Screws

The screws are the small metal fasteners near the hinges that connect the end pieces with the temples.

Nose pads

The nose pads are the round plastic pieces under the bridge that sit on your nose. They give your glasses a more comfortable and secure fit.

Pad arms

The pad arms extend from the rims and hold the nose pads in place. They’re adjustable to fit the natural shape of your face.

Temples

The temples are the extended arms on the surface of the frame that fits over your ears for a snug fit.
