What You Should Know About Glasses Adjustments

How Do I Know My Glasses Need to Be Adjusted?

Your glasses should sit comfortably on your face all day. Here are some common signs that your frames need adjustment and how to address them:

  • Loosen the temples: Use warm water to soften the plastic or metal. Hold the temple at the bend and gently bend the end of the temples upwards.

Your glasses are too loose
If your glasses slide down your face:

  • Tighten the temples: Soften the temple with warm water. Hold it at the bend and gently bend the end of the temple downwards.

Your frame is crooked
If one side of your frame is higher than the other:

  • Level the frame: Place your glasses on a flat surface to check if both temples touch the surface. Soften the temple that’s not touching and gently bend the temple tip down.

Your glasses feel too tight
If your glasses pinch your ears or nose:

Your nose pads don’t sit evenly
If one nose pad isn't aligned with the other:

  • Adjust the nose pads: Gently pinch one nose pad arm at a time to move it closer to or away from your frames as needed.

One lens is closer to your eye than the other
If your glasses sit crookedly on your face:

  • Adjust the fit: Glasses should sit close to your eyes without touching your eyelashes. Adjust metal frames using the nose pad arms or acetate frames through the temples.

Can I Bring My Own Glasses Frame to 3 PAIRS OPTICAL for Adjustment?
Yes, you can bring your frames to us for free adjustments, regardless of where you purchased them.
