Every pair we make is hand-assembled and built to fit right out of the box. But since every face is different, small adjustments are totally normal—and usually easy. Your frames are tougher than they look. Don't be afraid to work with them.
Most of our plastic and acetate frames include core wires in the temple arms, making them easy to bend and adjust at home. Stainless steel is also flexible and responds well to heat. Titanium, aluminum, and rigid plastics are less heat-responsive and may take a bit more patience.
The key to a good adjustment is gentle, even heat. Here’s what to keep in mind:
A hairdryer on low or a bowl of warm water both work.
Keep the heat moving—don’t concentrate it in one spot.
5–10 seconds is all you need.
Keep heat away from your lenses.
Faces aren’t perfectly symmetrical. If one side sits lower, a quick temple adjustment usually does the trick.
Gently bend the temple down on the side that sits lower—or try raising the temple on the opposite side.
Your temple tips should curve just behind your ears—not rest on top of them.
Make small adjustments and repeat as needed to find your best fit.
Frames slip when the temple tips lose their curve and stop gripping behind your ears.
Warm up your temple tips first.
Gently bend the temple tips downward and inward so they grip more snugly around your ears.
If you have adjustable nose pads, push them inward for a more secure fit.
Frames feel too tight when the temple tips are bent too far inward—or just haven’t been adjusted to your head shape yet.
Warm up your temple tips first.
Gently bend the temple tips upward and slightly outward for a more comfortable fit.
If you have adjustable nose pads, ease them outward for a little more room.
Hinge screws loosen with normal wear—it’s one of the easiest fixes on this page.
Use a small eyeglass screwdriver to tighten the screws at each hinge.
Don’t overtighten—the screw should feel snug, not forced.
If a screw is missing entirely, any optical shop can replace it (usually for free).
A few ways to help your adjustments stick.
Always use two hands to put them on and take them off: It keeps the temples even and takes pressure off the hinges.
Store them in a hard case: Soft cases won’t protect against bending or crushing.
Don’t perch your glasses on top of your head: This stretches the temples over time and loosens the fit.
Take them off before pulling on tight tops: Snug necklines can catch and bend your frames.
Don’t leave them in a hot car: High heat can warp the material and mess with your lenses.
