How To Adjust New Glasses

In case the glasses have a wireframe, you need to push the nose pads closer to each other by using your thumbs. Keep adjusting until they fit tight against each side of your nose. If your glasses have a plastic frame like muunel offers, you need to place them in warm water for about 1 minute. Then, gently apply some pressure on the end of the temples, pressing inwards and downwards. This will ensure a better fit behind the ears.

This is the opposite problem of the one mentioned above, so you must perform the opposite actions. In case of glasses with a wireframe, use your fingers to spread the nose pads apart from each other until you no longer feel the pinch on the nose. For the case of glasses with a plastic frame, place them in warm water for 1 minute and then gently lift the end of the temples outwards and upwards. By doing this, they will fit more relaxed behind the ears.

If the left lens is higher, you have to bend the right arm downwards slowly. If the right one is higher, you have to turn the left arm. Do the bending where the arm feels more adjustable, either at the hinge or at the bend that sits on the ears.

If the left lens is closer, you have to either bend the left temple arm inwards or the right one outwards. Sometimes you might have to adjust both of them until you feel that they fit right. If the correct lens is closer to the eye, you must either bend the right temple arm inwards or bend the left temple arm outwards (or both). The bending is done at the hinge. Some materials are more adjustable than others, while some can’t be adjusted. Try the steps as mentioned above, but be careful and don’t force the bending; otherwise, you might break them. If you have tried all of these adjustments and they still don’t fit right, you can either go to an optometrist to adjust them for you or return them from where you got them and ask for a different frame.
