Abstract: Temple holders each having recesses formed in the holders are hinged to the extreme ends of an eyeglass front. Temple ends, inserted into respective holder recesses secure the temples in proper position relative to the front. Magnets within the recesses and the temple ends having polar orientations that establish magnetic attraction with each other join the temples to the front through the temple holders. The temple holders reinforce the coupling of the temples with the front during ordinary wear to prevent an undesirable separation of a temple from its front. Selective separation of the temples from the front, however, enables the wearer to change temple styles, as appropriate.
