Adjusting Your Eyeglasses

Do your glasses ever feel tight or uncomfortable? Check out these quick tips to adjust your eyeglasses frames.

How to Adjust Metal Glasses Frames:

  • If your eyeglasses sit too high on your nose, carefully push the nosepads further apart with your thumbs.
  • If your eyeglasses sit too low on your nose, carefully push the nosepads closer together by pinching them with your thumb and index finger.

How to Adjust Plastic Glasses Frames:

  • To make any slight adjustments to the frame, run any plastic parts under hot water or heat with a hair dryer for 2-3 minutes and then carefully bend.
  • If the frame slides down your face too much you can bend the earpiece closer to a 90-degree angle to tighten the fit. If it’s hurting the back of your ear because it’s too tight, do the opposite and make it less of an angle.
  • Never try to bend or make adjustments to any plastic frame parts without first heating up the frame.
