How do I adjust my glasses?
Properly fitting glasses are essential for comfort, vision, and style. If your frames feel too loose, tight, or sit incorrectly on your face, there are simple adjustments you can try at home before seeking professional help.
Adjusting the Arms of Your Glasses
If your frames are slipping down your nose or feel too tight behind your ears, you can adjust the arms (temples) where they curve above the ear.
Warm the Frames: Immerse the arms in warm water for about 30 seconds to make them pliable. Be careful not to use water that is too hot, as it may damage the frames.
Bend Gently: Once flexible, carefully bend the arms to wrap tighter or looser around your ears. This can help secure frames that slip or relieve pressure from frames that are too tight.
Adjusting Nose Pads
If your glasses sit uncomfortably high or low on your face, the nose pads can often be modified for a better fit:
Lowering the Frames: Slightly expand the nose pads to lower the glasses on your nose.
Metal Frames: If your metal frames pinch or slide, you can adjust the nose pads to sit closer together or farther apart.
Nose pads are designed to be flexible, allowing for precise adjustments to improve comfort. These adjustments can typically be done by hand, offering a quick, convenient fix.
When to See a Professional
If your glasses still don’t fit correctly, visiting an optician ensures an optimal adjustment. Professional services can tighten loose hinges and make precise frame modifications.
