Adjusting your glasses

How do I adjust the fit?

For most customers there will be no need to adjust the fit. However, for those who order a pair of glasses or sunglasses that need adjusting slightly, one of our qualified opticians David, tells you how to do this yourself - see our short videos below.

Video One - How to adjust your nose pads

• Grip the frame of the glasses firmly
• Hold the nose pad between thumb and forefinger and move in or out slightly
• Do the same for the other pad
• Check them by trying them on
• Do this again until you’re happy, making very small changes each time

Video Two - How to adjust arms on metal frames

• Put them on and mark on your glasses where you’d like the bend to start
• Take them off and heat up the side where you wish to make the bend for about 20-30 seconds
• Gently, but firmly bend the glasses straight
• Reheat the arms again for another 20 seconds or so
• Bend the arm around your thumb to make a smooth curve
• Try them on again and see if they feel better, if not, try again until you’re happy
• The same process applies for plastic frames

For rimless frames, we recommend you send them in to us for adjustments as these are slightly more delicate.
