Glasses slip or feel uncomfortable

Rather than only asking someone to keep glasses on, discuss vision and comfort separately.

Start with these observations

  • When do they slip? Note looking down, moving or sweating.
  • Ask the dispenser to check nose and ear contact, eyelashes and lens position.
  • Mention hearing aids and the person’s preferred appearance.

Three questions you can ask

  1. Can this frame be adjusted? How would another size or bridge fit differ?
  2. Can we check the frame fit before adding a retaining strap?
  3. If discomfort continues after adjustment, who should review vision?

You can show this page during your appointment. No input or registration is needed.

Who can help?

Discuss vision with an eye-care professional and frame comfort with the dispensing optician. Explain the difficult situations to both.
