Frame alterations can make all the difference

Sometimes you fall in love with a frame, but once you collect your new glasses, they don't feel right. Despite repeated adjustments, they still slide down your nose or don't sit comfortably.

The good news is that certain alterations can often transform the fit. Adding silicone nose pads or pads on arms can help stop a frame from slipping and prevent it from ending up forgotten in a drawer.

Not every frame can be altered, but it's always worth checking before giving up on a pair you love.

Experiencing skin irritation? If your temple tips have become oxidised and are causing contact dermatitis, adding clear sleeves can help protect your skin. If your nose pads are leaving marks on your nose, switching to larger nose pads—or changing from acrylic to silicone pads—can often improve both comfort and fit.

At Got Frames, we offer unique frame alterations, honest advice, and practical solutions to help you get the very best from your glasses.
