Yes, and it's important that your frames fit you well - both for comfort and so that the lenses are positioned correctly for your vision.
Minor adjustments are straightforward and we will carry them out free of charge in any of our stores. There’s no need for an appointment, just pop in with your frames when you can. Alternatively any credible local optician should be able to make adjustments for you (we don't recommend performing any adjustments on your frames yourself).
The most common adjustments are
- The temples (also known as sides) - and the length to bend (the distance between the hinge and the point where the temple bends around your ear) can be adjusted to fit, and the angle of the let back (which determines a frame's temple width).
- If your spectacles are crooked, the angle can be adjusted to make the frames sit evenly.
- If your spectacles are sliding down your nose, the angle of bend and the let back can be adjusted to prevent this.
Our metal frames all have adjustable nose pads which can be altered for different shaped bridges. We also offer additional nose pads on our acetate frames free of charge on request.
