Normally when you buy a new pair of glasses or sunglasses they will require some adjustment to ensure a perfect fit. Additionally, you may find that an existing pair of glasses become loose or misaligned due to the stress and strain of normal day to day wear.

Don’t worry. Your frame can stand a little bending, just adjust it yourself by following these instructions.

Stand in front of a mirror and look straight ahead, make sure that the middle of the lenses is level with the center of your eyes. Check for the fit and make some adjustments properly.

1. Your glasses are sitting too low on your nose

FOR WIRE FRAME GLASSES

Use your thumbs to gently push the nose pads closer both sides until they fit comfortably.

FOR PLASTIC FRAME GLASSES

Run the earpieces under warm water (not boiling) for 30-60 seconds. Gently bend the earpieces slightly downwards to add curve.

2. Your glasses are sitting too high on your nose

FOR WIRE FRAME GLASSES

Use your thumbs to gently push out on the nose pads both sides until they sit snugly on your nose. 

FOR PLASTIC FRAME GLASSES

Run the earpieces under warm water (not boiling) for 30-60 seconds. Gently bend the earpieces upwards to relax the curve.

3. Your glasses look crooked or tilted heavily to one side

Lay your eyeglasses upside down on a flat surface to ensure both of the temple arms rest evenly. If not, you should level the temple arms or the earpieces.

FOR WIRE FRAME GLASSES

Gently bend the arms or earpieces with small pliers or your bare hands.

FOR PLASTIC FRAME GLASSES

Carefully heat the higher arm with a hair dryer to make the plastic pliable. Slowly move the plastic downward with your hands until it is in the desired position.

*While glasses are strong, we recommend not to use excessive force while trying to bend the arms. Make small adjustment and be extra careful each time.

*Some frames will be resistant to being adjusted, these include titanium, memory metal or memory plastic frames.
