How to adjust eyeglasses at home

Fixing your prescription glasses yourself

Most people who wear eyeglasses do so for most of the day and are not always careful when handling them.
Since their prescription glasses follow them everywhere, they are likely to become damaged or even deformed.
To deal with this type of situation, it can be handy to be able to adjust your pair of eyeglasses yourself at home.

Main tips for adjusting your own eyeglasses

Over time, or through careless handling, a pair of prescription glasses can become deformed or enlarged.
So it's important to know what to do if you need to readjust your eyeglasses.
When the frame is made of metal, adjustments are generally within everyone's reach.
Eyeglasses temples that are too loose can be tightened by being screwed back on.
As well, a deformed nasal bridge can be reshaped simply by exerting pressure with the hand.
A plastic frame will require a slightly more elaborate reshaping.
The eyeglasses will first need to be immersed for a few seconds in a bowl of lukewarm water to loosen them up.
The eyeglass frame becomes more malleable and, then, can be adjusted by tightening the temples or reshaping the nose bridge.
Whether the pair is made of metal or plastic, these operations must be carried out carefully to avoid damaging the prescription glasses.

The best solution: have your eyeglasses fixed by your optician

Even if you don't always have the time or inclination to go out, the best solution is to consult an eyewear professional.
Home adjustments to eyeglasses can sometimes damage the pair if they are not carried out with care and attention.
Your optician is indeed in the best position to adjust your prescription glasses and give them a new lease of life.
Opticians have all the tools and knowledge they need to get your eyeglasses back into shape.
Furthermore, they can identify the need to change a pair of eyeglasses if they are too worn or deformed.
Your optician can also give you tips and advice on how to look after your prescription glasses properly.
For example, never put them over your head or place your pair lens-side down are just some of the tips for keeping them in good condition.
Do not hesitate to take your eyeglasses to your Optical Center optician so that they examine and adjust them or change your pair if necessary.
