Abstract

The present invention provides an adjustable eyeglass frame comprising left and right lens frame units independent from each other and a temple unit. The left and right lens frame units further comprise insertion holes and insertion pieces configured to slide over each other for positioning and such that the relative distance between the left and right lens frame units is adjustable according to the facial width of the user. The other sides of the left and light frame units further include pivotally attached temple brackets with sliding slots. The temple unit comprises two extension rods slidable along the sliding slots of the temple brackets. Positioning can also be achieved as the positioning piece of the extension rod engages with a positioning notch of the riding slot at the inner wall of the sliding slot and such that the temple length is adjustable according to the head size of the user.
