What component of the eyewear frame extends back alongside the head and over the ear?

  1. Front

  2. Temple

  3. Arm

  4. Tailpiece

The correct answer is: Temple

The temple is the component of an eyewear frame that extends back alongside the head and over the ear. This part plays a crucial role in ensuring that the glasses remain securely in place while being worn. The design of the temple is specifically shaped to fit comfortably against the side of the head and to provide stability, preventing the eyewear from slipping off during everyday activities. The temple is also integral to the overall fit of the eyewear, affecting comfort and how well the lenses align with the wearer's eyes. While other components of the eyewear frame have important functions, such as the front which houses the lenses and holds them in place, the temple is distinct in its structure and purpose of supporting the frame's fit around the ears.
