What is the term for the part of the eyewear frame that surrounds and holds the lenses in place?

Rim
Eyewire
Bridge
Grillamine

The correct answer is: Eyewire

The term for the part of the eyewear frame that surrounds and holds the lenses in place is known as the "eyewire." The eyewire is specifically designed to securely enclose the lenses, providing necessary structure and support while also facilitating the aesthetic appearance of the eyewear. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the lenses within the frame and can be designed in various styles and materials to suit different types of eyewear. Other terms in the options refer to different components of eyewear. The rim generally refers to the outer edge of the frame where the lenses are housed but is often used interchangeably with eyewire in a more casual context. The bridge is the part of the frame that rests on the nose and connects the two lenses, while grillamine is not a standard term commonly associated with eyewear frames.
