whats the ends of the glasses called

The “ends” of glasses that rest over your ears are called temple tips (also known as earpieces).

Quick anatomy recap

Glasses have several named parts; the “ends” people usually mean are at the back of the temples (the arms).

• Temples / arms – the long sides that go from the front of the frame back over your ears.

• Temple tips / earpieces – the very end pieces of the temples that actually sit behind/around your ears.

• End pieces – small connectors on the front outer edges of the frame where the temples attach to the main frame.

So if you’re pointing to the soft or shaped bit that hooks over your ear, that’s the temple tip. If you mean the little hinge-area bit on the front where the arm connects, that’s the end piece.

Why the names matter

Knowing these terms helps when:

• Buying or adjusting glasses (“My temple tips are digging in.”)
• Ordering replacement parts online (“Need new temple tips for this model.”)
• Explaining fit issues to an optician (“The end piece feels loose.”)

TL;DR:

• Back part over your ear → temple tip / earpiece
• Front connector where arm meets frame → end piece
