Do you find yourself constantly adjusting your glasses throughout the day? When you are wearing glasses to correct your vision, it’s important that they feel comfortable and secure. You shouldn’t have any pinching or slipping. So, constant readjusting means that you might have the wrong fit.

Not only do poorly fitted glasses affect your comfort and vision, but they can even impact your posture throughout the day. The good news is that a small adjustment is often sufficient to optimize the fit and ensure that your glasses will stay in place.

Common Signs that Your Glasses are Fitting Poorly

Here are some of the most common things that happen if your glasses aren’t fitting properly:

• Slipping Down the Nose:You often push the glasses up your nose because the frames are too loose.
• Pinching Your Ears or Nose:If the glasses are too tight, then you might have pain or pinching in your temples or ears.
• Pressure Points or Red Marks:You should never have areas of your face or ears that cause indentations on the skin, headaches, or skin irritation.
• Crooked Frames:Pay attention if your glasses are tilted a little bit or if they don’t sit evenly on your face.

If the frames are too loose, then they are constantly shifting throughout the day, and you will feel like you need to adjust them. On the other hand, if the frames are too tight, then they can result in discomfort and pressure headaches. Another drawback of poorly fitted glasses is that they can impact your confidence because of the way they slide around (which makes some people wear them less consistently).

Two Factors to Ensure Proper Fit

The first step to ensure your glasses fit properly is to make sure that you choose frames that fit your face, including the shape of your face, bridge width, temple length, and the size of the lenses. Most people prefer lightweight materials and adjustable features. When you are trying on frames, move your head naturally to see if they slip or if you can feel any pressure points.

After choosing your glasses, our team can help with the precise adjustments to ensure an optimal fit. We’ll make small tweaks to the temples, nose pages, and frame shape. Our expert team knows the best ways to ensure ideal alignment and comfort. Sometimes regular tune-ups are needed, and you are always welcome to come to our office if you notice that the frame fitting has changed over time.
