Top Line: Perfect Squares, a Euless, Texas company that designs, patents and markets optical devices and at-home health care monitoring products, is releasing TempaFrame, an eyeglass-based body temperature monitoring device.

TempaFrame is small, reusable, and comes in a variety of colors to match virtually any temple.
