Many people either wear eye glasses or contacts. You need to fit prescription eye glasses properly to prevent them from falling or causing visual problems. Before you purchase a frame the salesperson will allow you to try them on to ensure a proper fit. It is quite simple to check if the glasses fit you properly. You can do this in a number of steps.
Instructions
1 Check that the body does not press too firmly across the side of your head. This can indicate that the glasses are too small to fit your head; over time skin indentations can form. Your glasses should not be too loose or they might slip off every time you tilt your head.
2 Ensure the nasal pads press parallel to your nose. Properly fitted glasses will have nose pads that sit flat on your nose at a parallel angle. They should not be pressed too firmly to avoid forming dark indentations.
3 Analyze the shape of your face. Select a pair of glasses that fit around the physical contours while remaining aesthetically pleasing. Face shapes include oblong, rectangular and square. Smaller frames will accentuate your features if you have a rectangular face. Discuss the various options with the optometrist.
4 Pick a material for your glasses that suits your lifestyle. Plastic or semi-plastic frames have durability and can easily twist and bend. This is good if you do a lot of outdoors work or if you have a tendency to drop them.
