In most cases, your glasses will look perfectly balanced on your face. However, it\u2019s possible they don\u2019t. Of course, not everyone has the same face shape. Look in the mirror and if one lens is lower than the other, the fix is easy enough. You simply need to bend the template arm down on the side that is too low. Note: you can also try bending the high side temple up. <\/em><\/p>\n If your frames are plastic, apply heat to the template arm by aiming a blow dryer at the point of adjustment for 15 to 20 seconds before making the adjustment. Or, you can run them under hot water for 20 to 30 seconds. (Don\u2019t use boiling water and try to keep the heat from hitting the lenses.)<\/p>\n Align your lenses by bending the temple piece down on the low side. You may need to make this adjustment to glasses right out of the box if your glasses don\u2019t sit straight on your face.<\/em><\/p>\n If your frames are metal, you won\u2019t need to apply heat. Simply bend the temple piece at the hinge.<\/p>\n With this\u2014and all\u2014adjustments, make slight adjustments then see how they look and feel. Allow plastic glasses to cool for a minute before you try them on. If your adjustment was too severe or too slight, repeat the process.<\/p>\n If your glasses slide down your nose or sit too low, the nose pads must be adjusted inward. If they pinch a bit or sit too high on your nose, you\u2019ll adjust them outwards. Be sure to make the nose pads even on both sides.<\/p>\n For most metal glasses, it should be easy to push nose pads in either direction with your thumbs. <\/em><\/p>\n If your glasses continue to slip down your nose after adjusting your nose pads\u2014or you have frames that don\u2019t have adjustable nose pads, the following fix is recommended.<\/p>\n Bend the temple piece at the point where it angles down over your ear slightly down and in. The idea is to \u201chook\u201d them more tightly to your ears. Again, for plastic frames, apply heat in advance.<\/p>\n Most glasses have screws where the hinge is located on each temple. While the adjustments suggested above may be necessary, be sure to check the screws before bending your frames. The screws may have become loose. If so, tighten them with a small screwdriver.<\/p>\n Note: eyeglass screwdrivers come in most eyeglass kits. For your convenience, when you purchase glasses from EZContacts, they\u2019ll come with an eyeglass screwdriver and microfiber cloth for cleaning. <\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s possible your glasses are loose and simply don\u2019t fit well. If the problem\u2019s slight, the adjustments suggested should do the trick.<\/p>\n However, many people have lower nose bridges and therefore require a different shaped frame. Frames for such people may be called Asian fit, low bridge fit, <\/em>or omni fit. <\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.ezcontacts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Misaligned@2x-100-scaled-1.jpg\")

\u00a0If you\u2019re aiming to loosen tight-fitting glasses, do the opposite: bend slightly upward and outward.<\/em><\/p>\nGlasses may loosen over time<\/h2>\n
