Fine- Tune the Fit: How to Adjust Your Glasses Frame at Home
Not quite sitting right? Here's how to adjust your glasses frame at home for a more secure, comfortable fit.
1. Glasses Slide Down?
- Plastic frames: Soak arms in warm water for 30 seconds, then bend the temple tips slightly
downward.
- Metal frames: Gently curve the temple tips inward for a tighter grip behind the ears.
2. One Side Sits Higher?
- Bend the arm on the higher side upward at the hinge — this lowers the frame on that side.
- Or bend the lower side downward to raise it.
3. Too Tight or Too Loose at the Temples?
- Gently bend the arms outward to loosen or inward to tighten grip on your head.
4. Uncomfortable Nose Fit (Metal Frames Only)?
- Too high: Spread the nose pads apart.
- Too low: Bring nose pads closer together.
5. Frame Sits Too Far or Too Close to Eyes?
- Slightly bend the temple arms near the hinge inward or outward to adjust how close the frame sits to your
face.
