“While most parts of spectacle frames can be adjusted for a better fit, the rims have a fixed size and shape that cannot be altered. However, opticians can fine-tune several areas to ensure your glasses sit comfortably and securely, as well as for clear, comfortable vision,” said Wong. Here, he shares how the various parts of spectacle frames can be tweaked.
Nose pads: The arms connected to the nose pads can be adjusted in various directions so that they rest snugly and comfortably on your nose bridge.
Temples: The arms of the frames can be bent slightly inwards or outwards to correct either a too-loose or too-tight fit respectively.
Temple tips: Adjusting the curve of the temple tips allows them to rest securely behind your ears without being too tight. A well-balanced fit helps prevent discomfort and pressure points. If the temple tips are too long, an optician may trim the inner metal core slightly to create a curve that adheres better behind your ears.
Hinges: Tightening the screws on the hinges will also tighten the fit of the frames for a snugger feel. This may help to keep your frames in the correct position on your face for correct eye-to-lens alignment.
“Properly fitted eyewear should provide comfort without causing excessive pressure on the nose bridge or behind the ears. While spectacles naturally have some weight due to the lenses, a well-adjusted frame distributes this weight evenly to minimise discomfort,” said Wong. The right fit not only enhances comfort but also will allow you to see clearly, which is what your new prescription and frames should accomplish.
