Which component is typically adjusted to address frame fit around the temples when needed?

Explanation:
Temple fit is controlled by the angle where the temple meets the frame front. The endpieces are the short sections that connect the front of the glasses to the temples. By adjusting the endpiece bends, you change how the temples angle and wrap behind the ears, which in turn tightens or loosens the fit and improves stability. This direct adjustment makes the frames sit comfortably and securely around the temples. Nose pads affect the nose area, lens height changes vertical lens alignment, and bridge height affects how high the frame sits on the nose—none of these address temple fit the way endpiece bends do.
