Adjustments

This is probably the most common problem, and the adjustment that we do most often.

The frame should be adjusted at the time of purchase, to prevent it from sliding. However, it might go out of shape over time. Some adjustment should fix this problem.

This is a very common problem, and it is pretty similar to the problem of the frame sliding down. Metal frames will have nosepad arms that can be adjusted. Some plastic frame also have adjustable nosepad arms.

Some people will not notice at first, but it may happen that the frame is not level on the face, sitting higher on one side and lower on the other. It might happen by accident, for example when people accidentally sit on the spectacles. The frame then goes out of shape, slanting on one side.

Frames become too tight usually because they are overly adjusted. It might feel nice and snug at first, but it becomes painful to wear after few minutes. Self-adjustment by customers is never recommended. It can easily do some damage to the frame, and usually the adjustment is not good.

Like a frame that it too tight, also having a frame pinching on the nose is painful and uncomfortable. The nosepad arms should be adjusted in a way to let the pads sit comfortably on the nose. We don’t recommend customers to self-adjust the nosepad arms, as it often results in some damage to the frame!
