Which part of the eyewear frame is commonly referred to when discussing fit and comfort over the wearer’s ears?

Eyewire
Bridge
Temple
Rim

The correct answer is: Temple

The temple of eyewear frames is specifically designed to extend from the front of the frame, around the side of the head, and rests behind the wearer's ears. This area is crucial for providing fit and comfort as it helps to secure the eyewear in place. A well-fitted temple will distribute the weight of the glasses evenly, minimizing pressure on the head and allowing for prolonged wear without discomfort. Factors such as the length, curvature, and width of the temple can significantly affect how the glasses fit behind the ears, which is why this part is central to discussions around eyewear comfort. The eyewire, bridge, and rim serve different functions in the overall structure of the glasses. The eyewire holds the lenses, the bridge connects the two eyewires over the nose, and the rim encases the lenses, but none of these components directly influence the fit and comfort around the ears as effectively as the temple does.
