How To Adjust Plastic Frame Eyeglasses?


Got a pair of plastic frame eyeglasses that just aren't sitting right anymore? It happens to the best of us—over time, frames can start to warp, temples get wonky, or those tiny hinge screws loosen up, making your glasses sit crooked or slide down your nose. But don't sweat it; you don't always need a trip to the optician to fix these common issues. With a few simple tricks and some household items, you can adjust your plastic frame glasses right at home. Today, we'll walk you through some easy steps to get those specs back in shape, so they're as good as new. Ready to make those frames fit just right again? Let's dive in!


What are the the most common types of plastic frame eyeglasses?

Let's break down the most common types of plastic frame eyeglasses you'll find out there.

Acetate frames are known for their rich colors, durability, and being hypoallergenic, making them a go-to for style and comfort.

TR90 frames are super lightweight and flexible, ideal for active lifestyles and those who want something that can take a bit of wear and tear.

Ultem frames offer even more flexibility and heat resistance, making them perfect for those who need a sturdy, lightweight option.

Each has its perks, so it's all about finding the right match for your style and needs!


How to tighten the hinge screw of plastic frame eyeglasses?

If you're dealing with loose temple arms on your plastic frame eyeglasses, tightening the hinge screw might be all you need—unless you've got spring hinges.

If it's a spring hinge, unfortunately, there's no real fix, and you might have to invest in a new pair.

But if your glasses have a fixed hinge, you're in luck! All you have to do is grab a tiny screwdriver and tighten up that screw.

Make sure to check the screw type first—Phillips head (cross) or flat head (straight)—so you use the right tool.

If the screw keeps spinning without tightening, that means it's stripped, and you'll need to replace it with a new one. It's a simple fix that can save you a trip to the optician!


How to adjust the Frame Curvature of plastic frame eyeglasses?

If your plastic frame eyeglasses aren't fitting comfortably, adjusting the frame curvature can help them sit better on your face. But how you adjust depends on the material.

For acetate frames, you'll need to soften them up first—try using a hairdryer or warm water to heat the frames before making adjustments.

TR90 frames can be adjusted a little without heat, but for bigger changes, a quick burst of heat helps, just be careful not to overdo it.

Ultem frames are the easiest to tweak since they're naturally flexible. You can often adjust them by gently applying pressure without needing any heat. Just go slow and steady, and you'll have a more comfortable fit in no time!


How to adjust the temple of plastic frame eyeglasses?

After wearing plastic frame eyeglasses for a while, you might notice the temples (arms) becoming uneven, causing discomfort. Adjusting the temples can make a big difference, but the method depends on the frame material.

For acetate frames, you'll need to use heat to make adjustments. Use a hairdryer or warm water to gently heat the temple areas, making them more pliable. Once softened, carefully adjust the temples to the desired position.

With TR90 frames, you can make small adjustments without heat, though it’s best to use a little warmth for bigger changes. Just heat them briefly and gently bend them to fit.

Ultem frames are more flexible by nature. You can often adjust the temples by applying gentle pressure without the need for any heat, thanks to their inherent flexibility.

Take it slow, and check the fit as you go. A little adjustment can make your glasses fit much better!


Today, we covered some simple DIY tips for adjusting your plastic frame eyeglasses at home. From tightening loose hinge screws to fine-tuning the frame curvature and adjusting uneven temples, these easy fixes can make a big difference in comfort and fit. Remember, the method may vary depending on whether your frames are made of acetate, TR90, or Ultem, so take care to adjust them correctly for the best results.
