An adjustable eyeglass temple is disclosed that provides fast and easy adjustment. The primary adjustment mechanism is a two piece telescoping temple that is adjusted by a screw within the temple. The screw is accessible from the front portion of the temple allowing the temple to be adjusted while the eyeglasses are being worn. It is also possible for glass wearers to make the adjustments by themselves, while wearing the glasses. Two types of removal caps are disclosed. These caps cover the access port to the adjusting screw. One cap mearly acts to conceal the screw, while the other cap is fitted with a plug that engages the screw slot, thereby allowing adjustment of the temple without removing the cap. Form fitting ear and nose pads are also disclosed. These pads will conform to the surface they contact, in the presence of body heat, and then set rigidly in the form fitting shape. Alternatively, oil-filled membranes can be substituted for the form fitting material.
