why a well-adjusted pair of glasses is so important

A well-adjusted pair of glasses not only ensures comfort but also gives you optimal vision. The lenses are crafted so that you see best through the center of the glass. If your glasses sit crooked or too low, you end up looking past that ‘sweet spot,’ making your vision blurrier or more tiring. In addition, properly adjusted glasses help prevent annoying issues such as:

Pressure marks on your nose or behind your ears

A crooked posture because you adjust your stance to your glasses

Headaches from an incorrect viewing angle

Frustration from glasses that keep slipping or wobbling

In short: a small adjustment can make a world of difference.

how to adjust your glasses yourself

glasses sliding down

If your glasses keep sliding down, it usually comes down to the right tension on the nose pads or temple arms.

For metal frames: gently bend the nose pads slightly closer together so the glasses sit more securely on your nose bridge.
For acetate frames: lightly bend the temple arms inward so they grip better behind your ears.

Tip: it’s best to warm acetate frames first. For example, with a hair dryer on a low setting.

glasses sitting crooked

Put your glasses straight on your face and look in the mirror. Is one lens higher than the other? Then you’ll need to adjust the opposite temple arm.

If the right lens is too high, gently bend the left temple arm slightly upward (or downward, depending on the issue).
Repeat on the other side if necessary.

Always do this carefully and in small steps. With a little patience, your glasses will sit perfectly straight again.
