Difference between 130mm and 125mm temple length

[KatGamer]

Hi everyone,

My eyeglass prescription has changed and it's time for me to get new
glasses. My current glasses have a temple length of 130 and they fit
me perfectly. A new pair I'm interested in at Goggles4U is 125. How
noticeable is the change from 130 to 125?

That's 1/2 cm shorter, which is just under 1/4".

I think it's a very personal thing. If you put your fingers at the
point where the temple arm starts to bend down and goes behind the ear
do you think that there is sufficient room there to take away 1/2 cm?
Or try moving the glasses forward when you're wearing them to see how
much forward movement you can make and still feel comfortable. It
sounds like you would notice the difference when you say your current
ones 'fit perfectly' - if they are very snug to the back of your ear
you might not be happy, I know that having the arm rub the back of
your ears is not very pleasant especially with a heavier frame. I
haven't used G4U so don't know if you get full refund if you found
that the didn't fit.

It depends where the bend on the temple took place and the angle it
was bent at and the type of frame as well. It should still fit you or
you might have to bend the paddles outwards a little by a 1/4"
