does anyone else have this problem? is there a product or something out there I can use on my glasses so one side sits higher and thus they look even?

As an optician I have fit many frames to patent's faces and one thing I have noticed is MANY people have one ear higher then the other! As human beings we are not symmetrical despite what we would like to believe! Its not a big deal at all and it is VERY simple to correct. Just go to any optician experienced in frame fitting and they will be able to straighten them out for you!!! It is really that simple.... one small adjustment and they will look even again :)
I would personally not recommend you bending or altering the frame yourself it is possible you could make it worse or cause damage to the frame!

We as optical professionals seam to all have the same answer and that is to have your Optician take care of this. The funny thing is that so many people want their frames to sit straight to the table and be perfectly symmetrical and do nto realize that they need to be custome adjusted for the face and not to the table. I am not saying you feel that way, but most people do. Do take them in to where you bought them and if there is not a good dispenser there that knows how to do it, you need to go somewhere else, and some places will adjust them even if you did not get them there! O^O

You can do this yourself. As another poster said, bend down the earpiece of the low side and bend upwards the earpiece of the high side. You need to soften the plastic so it won t break. Microwave a tall glass of water on high for about two minutes. Dip the earpiece in the hot water for 30 seconds or a little more until softened, then bend the earpiece. Do this for each side. Resubmerge the earpiece to soften the plastic as necessary. It may help to bend the curved ends that go over your ears down more to allow the earpieces to get a better grip behind your ears.
This works well, it won t damage your glasses if done properly, and you don t have to go to the eye doctor.

Thanks for posting this...I'm a geek...I googled uneven glasses and ears and this was the #1 result. I just delicatly bent the sides and it's a world better. I don't feel the urge to tilt my head anymore! Hooray! So..yeah. Bend up the high ear side and bend down the low ear side.. it's not rocket science. And I'm too busy being lazy to go to an optometrist to do what I just did perfectly. Although, I do have very thin frames and it was pretty easy because of that.

That is why we bend and adjust the side pieces to fit our face....go to an optomitrist (the one who made the glasses would be best) and ask for adjustment. No big deal

I've had the same problem all my life. I always have to try to bend one of the temples (gently) to compensate. It's either that or put flesh-colored bandaids (whatever your flesh color) over the top of the lower ear to raise its height a bit. I know of no official product. I don't promote this, but some people have had plastic surgery to correct this.
