The Perfect Fit - Why it matters more than you think.
The Perfect Fit: Why It Matters More Than You Think
When it comes to choosing new glasses, most people focus on style, colour, or brand. While a bold frame can turn heads (and we’re all for it!), having a great fit is what truly makes or breaks a pair of glasses. Poorly fitted frames can cause discomfort, affect your vision, and change how your glasses perform.
Comfort Comes First - Frames that are too tight can press into your temples or behind your ears, leading to headaches and painful marks. On the other hand, glasses that are too loose will constantly slip down your nose, especially when you’re reading, exercising, or working. The right fitting ensures your glasses stay secure and comfortable all day long.
Vision and Alignment - When frames don’t sit in the right position, your prescription lenses may not align with your eyes properly. Even small misalignments can distort your vision or reduce the effectiveness of your prescription, particularly for progressive and multifocal lenses. The lenses are designed to work from a precise optical centre, so accurate fitting is crucial for clear, comfortable vision.
The Right Fit for Your Face - A well-fitted frame should complement your facial structure and look balanced. The bridge should sit flush over your nose depending on the design of the bridge, without sliding. The temples should rest comfortably without digging in or splaying out, and your pupils should be centred within the lenses. Our Opticians and Optical Assistants consider all of these factors, as well as your prescription and lifestyle, when fitting your glasses.
Protecting Your Investment - Proper adjustments also extend the life of your new glasses. Poorly fitted frames are more likely to bend, become bowed, or lose their shape over time. Regular maintenance and adjustments help prevent costly replacements and keep your eyewear performing as it should for months, even years.
