A one-sided tilt can come from frame alignment, nose-pad height, ear-height differences, frame width or temple shape.
When metal glasses look higher on one side, it is easy to blame ear height alone.
01 · FRAME ALIGNMENT
Start with front alignment
Before fitting the face, make sure the frame itself is level. A twisted bridge, uneven rims or temples that do not rest on the same plane should be corrected first.
02 · NOSE PAD HEIGHT
Check whether the nose pads sit at the same height
Metal nose pads can be adjusted individually. If one pad supports higher than the other, the entire frame can look tilted. Aim for balanced support, not extra pressure on one side.
03 · EAR HEIGHT
Left and right ear height can naturally differ
Faces are not perfectly symmetrical. Adjust the temple bend so the front looks level when worn, rather than forcing both temples into identical positions.
04 · FRAME WIDTH
Check balance in the frame width
Uneven temple spread can make one side press while the other side stays loose. The goal is steady support without unnecessary pressure.
05 · TEMPLE BEND
Temple bend can change frame height
Different bend positions can make one temple sit higher behind the ear. Check both sides, particularly on a frame used for a long time.
06 · DAILY HABITS
Daily habits can twist one side
Removing glasses with one hand, resting them on the head or storing them under pressure can gradually change their shape.
SOLUTION GUIDE
A quick guide
Check front alignment first.
Adjust the height and angle of both pads.
Adjust temple bends for the wearer.
Check frame width and temple balance.
Review handling and storage habits.
GLANOS FITTING CHECK
GLANOS fitting check order
- Front alignment
Confirm the rims and bridge are level. - Nose-pad contact
Confirm both pads meet the nose evenly. - Frame width
Check balanced pressure on both sides. - Temple bend
Adjust for a level front when worn.
CAUTION
Do not bend only one temple immediately
Check front alignment, nose pads, frame width and temple bend in that order. Adjust only the part that needs correction.
