Why Properly Fitted Glasses Matter?
Firstly, a close eyeglass fit can cut down on discomfort in the form of pressure behind the ears or indentations on your nose bridge.
Second is that the right glasses could give the most accurate correction of your vision, so you can see the world in front clearly.Moreover, it is also considerate to wear glasses rightly, to reduce the damage of poor use, and increase the service life of glasses.
How to Tighten Glasses?
Assessing fit: signs your glasses need adjustment
As a basic step, you should know whether your glasses don’t quite fit properly or whether they need to be adjusted. Evident marks include glasses slipping or falling from your face, a wobbly sensation caused by experiencing dizziness, frames not suitable for your facial features, or that your glasses tend to slip off your nose, eyepieces or jaw. You probably require an adjustment if you frequently find yourself pushing your spectacles up.
Adjust nose pads
Adjust nose pads
If you have glasses, you’ll be familiar with the parts that are often adjusted, such as the nose pads. The problem is that the glasses don’t fit properly, or the nose pads are broken, so the glasses can slip off your face or they’ll feel uncomfortable on your bridge.
You can adjust the tightness of a headband of a pair of glasses by either bending the nose pad or twisting it.
Tight temples
Another area that may need fine-tuning are the temples. There’s one fine-tuning screw on each temple, somewhere near or at the end. Remove your glasses and hold on to them with your held-out pinky and thumb, and bend them (a spectacle bender is the perfect tool for this). You will see a small, circular adjustment screw on the side of the temple. It’s usually fairly dark to avoid catching your eye on it. Turn it with a smallish screwdriver – gently, a tiny bit at a time – clockwise and back again, to adjust either the length or curvature of the temples until worn, to conform perfectly with their contours.
Ensure a comfortable fit behind the ear
It should fit snugly behind the pinna so the glasses don’t slip during movement. Be sure the temples’ length and length are not too long or too short, as this can make an uncomfortable fit. Make any necessary adjustments to the length or shape of the temples so that they fit perfectly behind your ears.
Use temporary workarounds for emergency fixes
In the absence of a professional adjustment, theoretically acceptable measures for short-term repairs are offered to allow you to keep wearing saying, ‘look, make-do,’ tape and rubber bands all aid in emergency glasswear maintenance but you still need formally adjusted glasses for the long haul.
FAQ about adjusting your glasses
How often should I adjust my glasses?
If you wear glasses, yours should generally be checked and adjusted at least once year, even when the lenses appear to be fine. Regular examination ensures that your eyeglasses remain of the very best fit and quality possible.
Can I adjust my glasses myself, or do I need a professional?
And often you can see yourself: gently bend the temples outwards (away from your frame) with a combination of front-to-back and side-to-side movements to give you a slightly wider fit or, to move the glasses slightly further away from your eyes, slightly belly out the nose pads. I will suggest this in this article for specific frames. But, in general, you can try one of the above actions (or a combination of actions) unless the problem is large or if you aren’t 100 per cent sure. In cases where you aren’t 100 per cent sure, ensure you seek the help of another person to avoid damaging your glasses.
What should I do if my glasses still feel loose after adjustment?
If your glasses still feel loose after this, you might need adjustments or repairs. Try to readjust them yourself, then make an appointment at an optometrist’s office or optical shop to make certain your glasses fit your face optimally.
Are there any self-help methods that I should avoid?
If you need to make an adjustment to your glasses, avoid using brute force and/or the wrong instrument so that you do not damage your glasses, or exacerbate a poor fit! Furthermore, don’t try and correct your glasses with glue or other chemicals, as this might damage the lenses and/or frames.
