How to Adjust Eyeglass Nose Pieces That Are Too Close to the Face

There are many eye problems that may require you to wear glasses to see properly. If your glasses do not fit correctly, it can not only impair your vision but could also make your seeing problem worse over time. If your eye glasses are too close to your face, you can make a few adjustments to the nose piece in order to get it to fit properly. The nose piece of your glasses can be adjusted by using your fingers.

Instructions

• 1

  Put your glasses on and look at yourself in the mirror. Take note of the location of the glasses and the adjustments you need to make. Look at yourself from the side to see just how close the glasses are to your face and how far you want to move them. You will also need to adjust how high the glasses sit on your nose and how far apart the lenses are.

  Take the glasses off and look at them from the front. Grasp the nose pieces and push them together if you want to have the glasses sit higher on your face. Pull them apart if you want them to sit lower on your face. Do not use too much pressure or you run the risk of breaking the piece.

  Look at the glasses from the top down. Grasp the two nose pieces and pull them apart or push them together until the lenses are at the appropriate location for how far apart your eyes are. You will need to make this adjustment before you can adjust how far they are from your face.

  Look at the glasses from the side. Grasp the nose pieces and gently pull them away from the frame to move the glasses farther away from your face. The farther you pull the pieces, the farther the glasses will be. Make sure each piece is pulled back to an even distance.

  Place the glasses on your face and look at yourself in the mirror. If the glasses look or feel uneven, take them off and make the necessary small adjustments until they fit properly.
