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.
So, in this post, we will show you how to tighten glasses.
How to Tighten Glasses by Yourself
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.
How to Adjust Crooked Glasses
If one side of your frame looks higher than the other, you need to adjust the arms of your glasses. So, how to adjust glasses?
If the right side is higher than the left, you need to gently bend the left arm down at the hinge or where the arm bends behind your ear. If the left side is higher than the left, so just do the same action on the opposite side.
When adjusting crooked glasses, you need to adjust frames a little bit at a time to avoid overcompensating and possibly damaging your glasses. You can run the arms under the warm water but do not running the warm water over the lenses because it will affect the lens coating.
How to Adjust Glasses If They Pinch Your Nose
In some cases, glasses will pinch your nose, so you also need to adjust them, too. If the glasses frames are metal, you should simply widen the plastic nose pads using your thumbs until the frames fit comfortably. If the glasses frames are plastic, you should soak the arms of your glasses in warm water for 30-60 seconds, and gently apply upward and outward pressure on the end of the arms to get a more relaxed fit.
After that, your glasses will become more suitable.
Unfortunately, not all glasses can be adjusted by yourself at home. You can’t adjust some glasses which are based on the material of your glasses. For example, the glasses with the following material can’t be adjusted at home:
1. Aluminum alloy.
2. Memory plastic.
3. Titanium or memory titanium.
If your glasses are made of these materials, you can’t adjust them by yourself at home. If something goes worse, you need to buy a new pair of glasses. It is also risky to adjust the rimless or semi-rimless glasses by yourself at home.
