What type of bridge is similar to a saddle bridge but has fixed nosepads for better weight distribution?

A modified saddle bridge is designed to provide improved comfort and weight distribution across the nose area, similar to a saddle bridge. The key feature that distinguishes it from a standard saddle bridge is the inclusion of fixed nosepads. These fixed nosepads allow the bridge to spread the weight more evenly across the nasal area, reducing pressure points. This design helps in distributing the weight of the eyeglasses more effectively, preventing discomfort during prolonged wear.

In contrast, a standard bridge does not have the benefits of the fixed nosepads, which can lead to less optimal weight distribution and increased pressure on specific areas of the nose. A spring hinge bridge is primarily focused on flexibility and durability in the temples rather than the nose bridge support and distribution. Lastly, a full-rim bridge refers to the style of the frame that encases the lenses completely and does not inherently address the weight distribution features of the bridge itself. Therefore, the modified saddle bridge is the most appropriate choice for those seeking improved comfort through better weight distribution.
