The frame is the foundation upon which your eyeglasses rest. It's comprised of several key parts, each with a specific function.

• Rims : These are the visible edges that hold the lenses in place. Rim styles come in a vast array, from classic full rims to sleek semi-rimless and rimless options on LookerOnline.
  
  

• Bridge : The bridge connects the two lenses across the nose. Different bridge styles, like keyhole bridges and saddle bridges, can influence the overall look and fit.
  
  

• Nose Pads : These small pads rest comfortably on the bridge of your nose, providing support and adjusting the position of the glasses. LookerOnline offers a variety of eyeglasses with adjustable nose pads for optimal comfort.

Your eyeglasses might feature some additional components depending on the style and functionality:

• End Pieces : These are the small sections where the temples connect to the rims and house the hinges.
  
  

• Brow Bar : A horizontal bar positioned above the bridge, it can add a design element or provide structural support. The most common brow bar style out there? The aviator frame, of course!
