Temple is an optical shop with an eye doctor in the back. Walk in with a prescription from anyone, try frames in the fitting room, and leave with a pair measured to your face.
The fitting room
Shapes and materials, no logos
We sort the wall by outline and by material, not by maker. Pick a shape that sounds like you and we bring pairs to try.
Soft and bookish. Balances a strong jaw.
A level top and a gentle drop. Works at a desk and on a stage.
Sharp corners and a firm line for a rounder face.
Lifted at the corners, with a line across the cheekbone.
Thin metal, wide at the top. Light on the nose.
A heavy brow bar over a lighter rim below.
