They work as a physical support to stop the glasses from moving forward and slipping down the nose. The temple earhook from Beta-Simplicity (http://betasimplicity.com/focus.html) features a cushion that effectively reduce the pressure on the back of your ears. This makes it much more easier to adjust to the right fit and are more comfortable as a result.
