After wearing glasses for a long time, it is inevitable that the frames will have some minor problems, such as looseness or deformation. In order to maintain the comfort of the glasses and the accuracy of vision, timely adjustment is necessary. The order of adjusting glasses is usually from the inside to the outside, from the bridge of the nosepad to the Lug of the frame, and then to the end of the temple.
Different types of glasses frames have different methods and techniques when adjusting. Today, we will focus on sharing the adjustment methods of metal glasses frames, so that you can easily master the basic adjustment techniques even if you do not have a professional background.
Before we learn how to adjust glasses, let's first understand the basic structure of metal frame glasses. Understanding these structures can help us better understand the adjustment process and effectively avoid possible problems during operation. This will lay a solid foundation for our subsequent adjustment steps.
1. Check if the lens is installed correctly
First, make sure the lens is installed correctly to avoid loosening or shifting during adjustment.
2. Special treatment of glass lenses
If your glasses are equipped with glass lenses, it is recommended to remove the lenses before adjusting the frames to avoid accidental damage to the lenses during the adjustment process.
3. Check if the screws are loose
Carefully check the screws on the glasses to make sure they are not loose or falling off. If you find any loose screws, tighten them in time.
4. Check the welds for tightness
Finally, check the welds on the frame to make sure there are no damage or cracks in these connections. If there are problems with the welds, the frame may break or become damaged when you adjust it.
These simple inspection steps can help you avoid unnecessary hassles when adjusting your metal frames and ensure your glasses continue to fit comfortably.
Step1
First, we need to calibrate the middle part of the frame horizontally. You can use a ruler or triangle ruler (as shown below) to check whether the bridge of the frame is straight. If the bridge is bent or tilted, timely adjustment can ensure that the glasses are more comfortable and stable to wear.
If you find that the bridge of the frame is crooked, you can try to adjust it manually. Pinch the frame and the bridge of the nose with your fingers and slowly level them (see the picture below). When adjusting metal frames, you can put a piece of cotton cloth between the bridge of the nose and the pliers to protect the surface of the frame from being scratched or damaged. Then, gently apply force to adjust the bridge of the nose and the edge of the frame to the same plane to ensure comfort and stability when wearing.
Step2
Next, we need to adjust the curvature of the frame (see the picture below). Still adjust it by hand, making sure that the curvature of the frame is no more than 1 cm away from the edge of the table. Then, start to check and adjust the deformation and distortion of the frames surface (see the picture below) to ensure that the lens is flat in the frame and does not affect the vision and wearing comfort.
Step3
After adjusting the middle part of the frame, we need to check the lugs and hinges of the glasses. To ensure that the frame is comfortable to wear, the degree of opening and closing of the temples should be maintained at about 95°.
Use cylindrical elbow pliers to clamp the bent part of the end-piece, then push it against the edge of the table and apply gentle force until the end-piece becomes straight (see the picture below). To protect the surface of the frame from scratches or damage, you can put a piece of microfiber cloth or leather on the edge of the table before adjusting. This can better protect the frame and ensure that the adjusted frame is more stable and comfortable.
Step 4
The last step is to use the bending pliers to adjust the nose pads so that they are symmetrical on both sides. When adjusting the nose pads, be sure to avoid applying force directly to the studs to avoid damaging them. The correct way is to use the bending pliers to gently clamp the bracket part of the nose pads, and then carefully adjust them to ensure symmetry on both sides, thereby ensuring comfort and stability when wearing.
1. Accidental squeezing, falling or collision
When glasses are placed in a bag, pocket or accidentally pressed, they may be subjected to external pressure, causing the frame to deform.
When glasses fall from a height or hit a hard object, the metal frame is prone to bending, tilting or deformation.
2. Frequent manual adjustment
If you frequently adjust the frame position with your hands or are used to putting on and taking off your glasses with one hand, the frame may gradually become deformed, especially at the bridge of the nose or the temples.
3. Long-term wear and tear
During long-term use, metal frames will gradually be subjected to various subtle stresses, which may cause deformation after accumulating to a certain extent.
1. Store your glasses properly and avoid placing them where they can be crushed or dropped.
2. Use both hands to take off and put on your glasses, and avoid frequently adjusting the frames with your hands.
3. Check the condition of the frame regularly and adjust it promptly if any slight deformation is found to prevent further damage.
1. Rust or corrosion
Metal frames, especially those made of non-stainless steel or titanium alloy, may oxidize and cause rust or corrosion if exposed to moisture or contact with sweat, skin oil, etc. for a long time.
2. Loose or falling screws
Screws are important parts that connect the temples, nose pads and other parts. After wearing for a long time, the screws may become loose or even fall off due to frequent opening and closing or vibration during use.
3. Nose pads are worn or lost
Reason: The nose pads may become worn, aged, loose, or even fall off due to frequent contact with the skin.
4. Welding point fracture
The welding points of metal frames are the most vulnerable parts. After long-term use or impact, the welding points may break or crack.
5. Coating peeling
Some metal frames may have a coating on the surface, such as electroplating or painting. Long-term use, friction or exposure to chemicals may cause the coating to peel off or fade.
Through this article, we've explored how to adjust metal eyeglass frames and understood why they may deform over time, along with other common issues. It's important to note that regardless of the material your glasses are made from, similar problems can arise with prolonged use or improper handling. Therefore, taking proper care of your glasses in daily use is essential to extend their lifespan.
