Which part of the spectacle frame connects the two lenses?

Temple
Bridge
Rim
Pad

The correct answer is: Bridge

The bridge of a spectacle frame is crucial as it serves as the component that connects the two lenses. The bridge is the section that sits on the nose and provides support to the lenses, ensuring they are positioned properly for effective vision correction. This area is designed to be comfortable and stable, allowing the frames to fit securely on the wearer’s face. Understanding the other components of the spectacle frame can help clarify why the bridge is specifically the correct choice. The temple refers to the arms of the frame that extend from the front and wrap around the ears, which do not provide the connection between the lenses. The rim refers to the part of the frame that surrounds the lenses, holding them in place but does not function to join the two lenses themselves. The pad typically refers to the nose pads that provide comfort on the sides of the bridge, but again, they do not connect the lenses. Therefore, the bridge stands as the sole component that connects and supports the two lenses effectively.
