Choosing a new pair of glasses is a delicate matter. It is necessary to take into account all the nuances of the face, namely its anatomical features. The glasses should fit tightly enough, but not squeeze, be clearly fixed on the bridge of the nose and not slide off, and the center of the lenses should coincide with the center of the eyes. The further comfort when using this accessory will depend on the choice made.
Why do the temples of glasses press behind my ears?
The joy and excitement of purchasing a new pair of glasses can overshadow the discomfort. After wearing it for a short time, you may feel some pressure. The fact is that Most manufacturers create frames for standard face shapes.
Males are characterized by a wide face and a fairly wide bridge of the nose, while women have more miniature, neat features. However, this rule does not always work, so the frame may not fit. Most often the reason is discrepancy between design features or design solutions and the anatomical features of the face.
Is it possible to adjust this frame?
The situation is unpleasant, but it can still be corrected. Almost all types of frames are adjustable, with the only exceptions being titanium and carbon materials. The procedure can be performed at home or at your nearest optical salon.
How to reduce pressure on temples?
If the temples of the glasses are plastic, then they must be kept in boiling water or over boiling water for 2-3 minutes. After the material has completely warmed up, you need to carefully bend them. You can bend in two directions:
- inward, to the temples, if the face is narrow;
- outward, from the temples, if the face is wide.
Important! You need to be extremely careful when performing this procedure because the plastic is very easy to break.
If the temple is metal, then the glasses must be placed on a flat surface, all defects must be examined and carefully folded. You cannot “expand” the frame by arching it in the area of the bridge of the nose.. This will significantly spoil the appearance. If glasses act as a corrective, this action can disrupt the optical center, which will inevitably lead to vision problems.
What to do if the glasses still press?
If you are unable to adjust your glasses yourself, opticians have glasses fitting service. It is performed strictly in the presence of the owner. The main advantage is that the specialists already have their hands full. The technician also uses special tools and devices, allowing you to maintain the integrity of the frame and its coating, and avoid chips and damage to the lenses.
