How Can You Adjust Your Eyeglasses
If this were you, after a long day of discomfort, you might very well be tempted to try and adjust your prescription glasses on your own to see if you could get them back into the position in which they belong, back into a position where you can see comfortably again.
What Causes the Need for Adjustment?
Any number of things can get your prescription glasses out of whack – people leave their glasses on a chair or in their pocket and then sit on them; they could be dropped or slip of the top of your head and get bent from bouncing on the floor or they may just get loose and a bit misshapen from average day to day wear and tear.
Before attempting to make any adjustments to your glasses, you need to be aware that you’ll have to be exceedingly careful as many frames are delicate and any excessive forced could cause more damage than was their before the repair was attempted, leaving you with an un-wearable pair of glasses.
What kind of Adjustments can you make?
Depending on what the exact problem with your glasses is, you may very well be able to repair o adjust them on your own. There are eyeglass repair kits available from drug stores and pharmacies that will assist in remedying any problems that stem from loose screws. The repair kits often come with small screwdrivers, replacement screws and other assorted repair parts and are available for a very modest investment.
If your problem isn’t associated with loose screws, you still may be able to make some minor adjustments but it does get a bit more difficult when it’s a problem with the actual frame.
If there are very minor problems, like a slight pinching on your nose from the pads being too tight; if they look just slightly tilted upon inspection in the mirror or if one arm is digging uncomfortably at the area behind your ear – you may be able to do something about it.
