How to Adjust Eye Glasses

From freem

Adjusting your eyeglasses can be a simple process that you can do yourself, but if you're not comfortable doing so, it's always best to visit an optician or an eye doctor for assistance. Here are some general tips on how to adjust your eyeglasses:

1. Clean your glasses: Before making any adjustments, clean your glasses thoroughly with a microfiber cloth or lens cleaning solution to remove any dirt or oils that could cause the glasses to slip.

2. Check the fit: Put on your glasses and look in the mirror. Check to see if the glasses are level, with the frames sitting evenly on your face. If one lens is higher or lower than the other, adjust the nose pads or the temples until the glasses sit evenly.

3. Adjust the nose pads: If your glasses have nose pads, adjust them to ensure that they sit comfortably on the bridge of your nose. If the glasses are too tight, move the nose pads apart. If they're too loose, move them closer together.

4. Adjust the temples: The temples are the arms of the glasses that go over your ears. If the temples are too tight or too loose, adjust them by bending them slightly to fit the contour of your head. Be careful not to bend them too much, as this can cause the glasses to break.

5. Adjust the earpieces: Some glasses have earpieces that can be adjusted for a better fit. If your glasses have adjustable earpieces, you can bend them slightly to fit comfortably behind your ears.

6. Check the fit again: After making adjustments, put your glasses back on and check the fit in the mirror. Make any additional adjustments as necessary until your glasses fit comfortably and securely.

Remember to be gentle when making adjustments to your glasses, and never force them into a position that feels uncomfortable or strained. If you're not comfortable making adjustments yourself, it's best to visit an optician or an eye doctor for assistance.
