Sunglasses that hang crookedly can impair both appearance and comfort. By regularly checking and adjusting the frames, you can extend the life of your sunglasses.
Inspection of the frame
Start by inspecting the frame for loose screws or bent parts. Many models have small adjustment screws that can be tightened with a small screwdriver. Identifying wear can prevent the frame from losing its shape over time.
Careful adjustment
If the frame is slightly bent, try straightening it with your fingers. Place the glasses on a flat surface and gently press down on the bent part. To maintain balance, adjust both sides at the same time. Use only light pressure to avoid permanent damage to the frame.
Professional repair
If you are unsure about the adjustment, it is recommended to contact an optician. Many opticians offer repairs to ensure your sunglasses remain comfortable and functional.
