Glasses slipping down and pushing them up annoying?

Question

does this happen to/bother alot of people? if they fit well should they be doing that often? and, what should i look for in a frame to prevent slippage? thankyou!

Answer 1

This is very common!
This can be a sign of an improperly fitting frame or nose pads or even if your frames/lenses are too heavy.

Even if your frames were adjusted to fit your face when you bought them, over time they tend to loose their adjustment.
You will need to see an optician to check the fit of your frame and make the appropriate adjustments to stop your glasses from sliding down.
Many times this can be solved by changing the nose pads to a silicone material that sticks better and a slightly larger size to distribute the weight better. Also the the frame can be too tight behind the ears or on the side of the head causing your glasses to slide down. You may want to try cleaning your nose pads with a little bit of rubbing alcohol that may help them from sliding down. Other then that you will not want to make any adjustments to the frame yourself because you could possibly make the situation worse or throw something else out of whack.
Your optician will need to determine the cause of your eyeglasses sliding down so it can be fixed appropriately!

It happens to a lot of people, although it shouldn't!

Each frame has a size, and the first part of selecting new glasses is to start with the correct frame size. Then, other adjustments can be made with the nose pieces (fit and style) and the temple length (they can usually be heated and bent to adjust).

Opticians have the tools and training to identify and adjust the fit, so choosing a good optician is the first step in choosing appropriate frames.

Once you've identified a good-fitting frame, take note of its size. For example, "48-18-135" indicates that the "eye size," or horizontal distance of the lense area is 48mm, the bridge size is 18mm, and the temple length is 135mm. Then, you can start with frames of a similar size for your next pair.

Even if properly adjusted at dispensing, glasses can become bent over time and lose their fit (and people can change their shape, too). If you're experiencing problems with glasses you're currently wearing, most optical shops offer free adjustments, hoping to earn your future business. So, while I'd recommend giving your original optician the opportunity to make the adjustments, you can stop almost anywhere and get a glasses tune up.

Answer 3

It's probably because the earpieces are too loose. You can bend them slightly until they fit more snuggly. Technically, you should go back to the store where you bought those glasses and ask for readjustment, but that rarely works.

Also, keep your nose bridge clean and without oil so it creates more traction. Some minor slippage is unavoidable though, and may be a matter of getting used to.

Answer 4

That is very common
It happens to me
pushing them u becomes involuntary movement to me


U should readjust nasal pads so they become suitable to ur nose
Or u can change the frame
The arms of the frame shouldnt be so long & the curvature should suit ur ear

Answer 5

If they are adjusted properly at the bridge of your nose they will not do that. Try going into an eyeglass place and ask if they can bend them properly to keep them from slipping.

Frames with pads where they contact the sides of your nose are less likely to slip.

Answer 6

You can try using those nose pads that you put on the nose pieces of your glasses. You can buy them almost anywhere. If you can't find them ask the person in the pharmacy, they should know where they are located. WalMart, K-Mart, Walgreens, or any where you can buy things for your glasses.

Answer 7

stop in a get an adjustment or maybe a new pair

Answer 8

Trust me, this is not as bad as having them tilt to one side constantly.

Answer 9

get contacts
