How to Prevent Nosepiece Marks From Eyeglasses
- 1). Have your optometrist remeasure your glasses size -- represented by three numbers, the width, the bridge of the nose and the temple length to the back of the ear. Make sure your glasses conform to those measurements.
- 2). Adjust your nosepiece arms to fine-tune your glasses' fit on the bridge of your nose. Grab each pad and gently bend it to a position that will better yield to your nose. Try your glasses on again to test the new fit. Have your optometrist do this if you worry about breaking your glasses.
- 3). Clean your glasses and face regularly to remove oils, makeup or other residue that can irritate your skin when trapped under your glasses.
- 4). Remove your glasses, if possible, when you're sweating, which can intensify red marks.
- 5). Rotate between two pairs of glasses, preferably one with a frame that rests on the nose and another that employs a nosepiece. This could allow your skin more time to dry out.
- 6). Use a moisturizer to battle dry skin, which is more apt to develop red marks. Other cosmetic products, like a toner, can shrink pores and reduce eyeglass marks.
