Are Your Twisting Habits Ruining Your Glasses? The Secret to Keeping Your Frames Fit!

 Question:

Do you find yourself constantly twisting or wiggling your glasses on your face to get them to sit just right? 

While it might seem like a quick fix for comfort, this common habit could be the culprit behind your frames feeling loose and constantly slipping!

 


Explanation:

Every time you twist your glasses on your face, you're actually putting uneven pressure on the delicate frame front hinges. These hinges connect the main part of your glasses (the frame front) to the temples (the arms that go over your ears). This constant rocking motion and twisting force can gradually cause:

  

  • Screws to loosen: The tiny screws in the hinges can work their way out over time.
  • Hinges to open outwards: The repeated stress can stretch or slightly misalign the hinge components.
  • Slack temples: As the front hinges become compromised, the temples lose their snug fit, leading to your glasses feeling loose and sliding down your nose.

 

Solution: The Gentle Approach to Perfect Fit!

Instead of twisting and wiggling, try these gentler methods to adjust your glasses: 

  1. Use Both Hands: Always put on and take off your glasses using both hands. This distributes the pressure evenly and avoids putting stress on the hinges.
  2. Gentle Nudges: For minor adjustments, use small, direct nudges at the nose bridge or temple area, rather than twisting the entire frame.
  3. Professional Adjustment: The best solution for persistent fit issues is a visit to your optician! They have the tools and expertise to properly adjust your frames, tighten screws, and ensure a comfortable and secure fit without risking damage. Remember, attempting forceful adjustments yourself can lead to breakage! 

Taking a little extra care with how you handle your glasses can save you from annoying slippage and potential damage in the long run. Treat your frames with kindness, and they'll keep your vision clear and your style on point!
