The Spectacles as Per Your Needs
In the event that the mismatch is in the nose, you will have to focus on the platelets to adjust the glasses. If you notice that the lenses are too high, spread the nose pads; squeeze them if you think they are too low to fit closer together. Above all, move the platelets at the same time to maintain symmetry .
The Essential Choices
It can also happen that the glasses are at the correct height but, nevertheless, you notice that they squeeze you or they fall off. If this is your case, tighten the screws on the hinges that join the rods, always taking care not to break the mount. The Ray Ban sunglasses nose pads are perfect in this case.
How to adjust the temples of your glasses?
It may be necessary to adjust the shape of the rods in your case. But how to adjust plastic glasses? And metal ones? Indeed, the procedure is a little different. If your glasses frame is metal, you will only need small pliers. If it is made of plastic, it is best to go to one of our opticians and have the experts make the adjustment with specialized equipment, since treating the rods with a dryer or immersing them in hot water can irreversibly damage the glasses.
- In short, what we advise you is that whenever you suffer a mismatch you go to your optician to solve the problem in the safest way, but, if you do not have any nearby, it is a very extreme case you can always make the adjustment, but only in the terminals , that is, the part of the end of the rods. Fold them out if the glasses are squeezing the sides of your head. If the notes are too loose, you will have to fold them inward.
- One last tip we give you is to apply minimal pressure if you are adjusting a plastic mount. Otherwise, you could break it and there would be nothing else to do.
