How to Tell If Your Glasses Fit Properly (5 Quick Checks)

Are your glasses sliding down your nose? Do they leave marks on your
temples? Your eyewear might not fit correctly. Here's how to know for
sure.

The 3-Point Touch Test

Well-fitting glasses should touch your face at exactly three points:
1. The bridge of your nose
2. The top of each ear

If your frames press too hard at these spots or don't touch them at
all, it's time for an adjustment.

Check Your Bridge Fit

The bridge (the part that sits on your nose) is crucial. Look for
these warning signs:
- Red marks or indentations on your nose
- Frames sliding down constantly
- Pinching sensation

The CIRCA DIEZ CD100 frames feature a 21mm bridge width - a versatile
size that works for most face shapes. If you're between sizes, an
optician can adjust the nose pads for a custom fit.

Temple Length Matters

Your temple arms (the sides) should:
- Rest gently on your ears without pinching
- Follow your head's curve naturally
- End just past your ear

The CD100's 145mm temples provide comfortable all-day wear for most
adults. Too short? Your glasses will feel tight. Too long? They'll
slip off.

The Eyelash Test

Blink a few times. Do your eyelashes touch the lenses? That's a
problem. Your eyes should sit centered in the lens with at least 2-3mm
of clearance. This prevents smudges and ensures you're using the
entire optical zone.

Level Check

Look in a mirror straight-on. Are your frames level? One side higher
than the other means your glasses need adjustment. Even small tilts
can cause:
- Eye strain
- Headaches
- Distorted vision

Why Proper Fit Matters

Beyond comfort, well-fitting glasses ensure:
- Optimal vision correction
- Better eye health
- Longer frame lifespan
- Professional appearance

Remember: properly fitting glasses shouldn't feel like anything at
all. If you're constantly aware of your eyewear, something's not
right.
