To adjust your glasses with tools, you primarily use a screwdriver to tighten the screws at the temple hinges.
Steps to Tighten Glasses with a Screwdriver
Here's a breakdown of how to tighten your glasses:
- Locate the Screws: Identify the tiny screws located at the temple hinge on both sides of your glasses. These are where the arms (temples) connect to the frame.
- Use a Small Screwdriver: You'll need a small, usually eyeglass-specific screwdriver. These often come in kits designed for glasses repair.
- Turn Clockwise: Gently turn the screws clockwise. Turn until you feel resistance. Be very careful not to over-tighten.
- Avoid Stripping Screws: Over-tightening can strip the screw or even break the frames. Go slowly and feel for the correct level of tightness.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Identify Screws | Find the small screws at the temple hinges. |
| 2. Use Screwdriver | Use a small, suitable screwdriver. |
| 3. Turn Clockwise | Turn screws clockwise until you feel resistance. |
| 4. Avoid Over-Tightening | Do not over-tighten, to prevent damage to the screws and/or frame. |
Important Considerations:
- If the glasses don't fit well, this is just a quick fix. If your glasses are still loose after tightening or if they are misshapen, you may need to seek professional assistance from an optician. They have specialized tools and expertise for more complex adjustments.
Using these steps, you can make minor adjustments to the tightness of your glasses using simple tools, but always handle your glasses with care to avoid any potential damage.
