Adjusting Your Glasses: A Guide to Comfortable Fit

It can be annoying to have your eyeglasses fall off your face, not to mention dangerous in certain situations such as driving. Crooked or unbalanced eyeglasses can affect eyesight, especially if the eyeglasses are bifocals or trifocals. One solution: take your eyeglasses to an optometrist to get your eye pads adjusted. Another is to make your own adjustments with a few simple techniques.

Instructions

• 1

  Place the eyeglasses on your face how you would normally wear them. Determine if they are sitting too high or low, or crooked.

• 2

  Remove the glasses. Twist the eye pads outward if the glasses are sitting too high. Twist the eye pads inward to lower how the glasses sit on your face.

• 3

  Try on the glasses to make sure they fit correctly. Remove them and inspect them at eye level to see if the eye pads are balanced evenly. Twist both eye pads until they are even.
