When you buy frames and lenses, you usually need to go through an adaptation that can take 3 different shapes:

- The modification of the arms of the frame to your ears (see below how to do it yourself).

- The modification of some screws or adapt the nose pads (idem).

- Let your brain adapt to the new sight’s parameters.

Such operations (at least the first two) are usually done by the optician, but you can also do it yourself following this little manual.

Your frames are slightly sliding from your nose? Is it uncomfortable? Then you might need to bend the ‘arms’ of your frames a little further in order for them to stick to your ears since the distance between your eyes and your ears (usually called ‘temple length’) is shorter that the one between the front of the frames and where the arms bend. To do that you need to use a hair dryer and focus it on the point where you are to bend the arms and once it is hot, bend smoothly with patience. Adjust until you get the desired stance.

Your nose is larger than the current positions of your nose pads? Or is it smaller? What you need then is to smoothly and with patience (yes again!) to bend them to the correct position in order for you to have them fully adapted to your physiology!

First and foremost, before throwing out your brand new frames, you must know that our brain interprets the images by the eyes and constantly adapts itself to the new conditions you are facing at any given moment.

Therefore, it is often the case that when one receives a new frame, he needs to let the brain works its wonders and thus wait for a week or two periodically using the spectacles. And then continue to using them, because if we don't ... The brain can not get accustomed.

It's good to start using them when resting (to read, watch TV, etc.) and gradually begin using them in motion, until they can be used without difficulty at all times.

In most cases, the operation will be successful. For the new wearers of progressive lenses, some more education is needed.
