Who should wear low bridge glasses?
According to the website of the American Optical Association, low-bridge glasses are for people with a low bridge of the nose (when your nose is at or below the pupil level), a wide face, or high cheekbones. This pair of glasses fit anyone with a low nose. If you have a tall bridge, it's great to have a bridge near the eyebrow line. If you have a low bridge of the nose, a more curved brow or a lower bridge of the nose frame is a better choice. Because the dimensions of the bridge are measured from the inside of the frame, a thick-sided frame with the same bridge dimensions and a very thin frame will not fit. It may actually be too small. Because it allows for extra edges.
How to Tighten Glasses by Yourself
After your glasses being used for a while, they will become loosen. In this situation, you may want to ask for a professional optical person to adjust or tighten it. It would be a way but with some inconvenience. So, you can also choose to tighten glasses by yourself.
Why the glasses will become loose? It can be caused by various reasons. Most people wear and remove their glasses several times every day. The back and forth movements of the glasses’ arms will increase the possibility that they will become loose.
If the glasses become loose, you can choose to tighten them by adjusting the temple arms. Most eyeglasses have a screw located at the temple hinge on both sides. To tighten glasses by yourself, you can choose to tighten this screw to make your glasses more comfortable or prevent them from slipping down your nose again. You had better check these screws periodically so you can tighten them before they fall out.

What Glasses Are Made Of?
In general, most glasses are made of plastic lenses. Why are glasses lenses made of plastic? In fact, plastic glasses are lighter than traditional glasses lenses used in eyeglasses, which means they are more comfortable to wear. At the same time, it is easy to apply lens coatings like anti-reflective to plastic lenses.
Besides, children’s glasses are also made of plastic because it is more resistant to impact. There are four main types of plastics used to make eyeglasses and sunglasses lenses which are plastic, Trivex, polycarbonate and high-index plastics.
The plastic lenses made from CR-39 were first introduced. CR-39 is an abbreviation for Columbia Resin #39, the 39th plastic of that type made by Columbia Resin.
Then the polycarbonate glasses were invented. Polycarbonate became out of this world once it found use in aeronautics. Polycarbonate is a type of plastic that can be produced as transparent and easily shaped, making it great for glasses lenses. Polycarbonate is impact resistant so that they are a good lens choice for kids. And the polycarbonate lenses have 100% UV protection.
Next, high-index lenses are available. High-index lenses have a high refractive index with a thin lens. Although high-index lenses are thinner, they are heavier due to the higher density of these plastics.
So, what glasses are made of? Most glasses are made of plastics. Then how are glasses made? To get the answer, keep on your reading.
