Key point first

A plastic-frame tilt can come from front twist, bridge contact, temple spread, temple bend or material deformation.

A one-sided tilt is not decided by ear height alone.

01 · FRAME ALIGNMENT

Start with front alignment

If the front is twisted or the rims rest at different heights on a flat surface, correct the frame itself before fitting the wearer.

02 · BRIDGE CONTACT

Check balanced bridge contact

An integrated bridge can contact one side of the nose more strongly and change the apparent height. The goal is a stable front on the face.

03 · EAR HEIGHT

Different ear heights are natural

Even a level frame can appear tilted when ear heights differ. Adjust for a level front when worn rather than making both sides identical.

04 · FRAME WIDTH

Check temple spread

One temple spreading more changes side pressure and can rotate or tilt the frame.

05 · TEMPLE BEND

Temple bend affects frame height

A bend that starts too early or too late changes how the frame is supported behind the ears.

06 · MATERIAL DEFORMATION

Heat and pressure can change the frame

Heat, pressure, storage and resting the frame on the head can gradually alter acetate or plastic frames.

07 · NOSE PAD MODIFICATION

Support the nose area only when needed

Adhesive pads or professional nose-area support may be considered when bridge contact is the actual cause, after checking the frame first.

SOLUTION GUIDE

A quick guide

The frame is twisted

Check front alignment first.

The bridge touches one side more

Check left and right bridge contact.

Ear heights differ

Adjust temple bends for the wearer.

One temple spreads more

Check frame width and temple balance.

It suddenly started tilting

Check for heat or storage deformation.

GLANOS FITTING CHECK

GLANOS fitting check order

  1. Front alignment
    Confirm the front and bridge are stable.
  2. Bridge contact
    Check contact on both sides.
  3. Frame width
    Check even support at both sides.
  4. Temple bend
    Adjust for a naturally level front when worn.

CAUTION

Do not bend only one temple immediately

Front alignment → bridge → frame width → temple bend

Do not use hot water or a hair dryer at home. Confirm the cause, then adjust only what is needed.
