optical
It's describing a range of (eye)glasses
Les montures, ne s'adressent pas toutes au même type de clientèle :
Modèle au tenon "décroché" pour les plus fantaisistes
au simple "progressif" pour les séniors.
Would this be a model which doesn't hook properly behind your ear? Does anyone know the term opticians use for this?

temple
I am really not sure if the "temple" refers to the entire "branche" in English or just the part where it is attached to the frame.
Tenon: Partie en relief d’un assemblage façonnée selon une forme régulière et destinée à être enfoncée dans la partie creuse correspondante: la mortaise. Le tenon sert à maintenir les branches de lunettes.

Comment: "Thanks, no-one was able to give me the word in English, but you put me on the right track. In the end I contacted the client and suggested we find another example to illustrate the diversity of the range!"
