Key point first

Nose pain can come from the pads themselves, but also from how the whole frame distributes its weight.

Metal glasses can leave pressure, deep pad marks or pain at a specific area of the nose.

01 · NOSE PAD CONTACT

Check natural nose-pad contact

When only a small edge of a pad touches, the same weight is concentrated in a small area. Both pads should contact the nose broadly and steadily.

02 · NOSE PAD ANGLE

An incorrect angle can concentrate pressure

Every nose has a different slope. If only the top or bottom of a pad touches, pressure can build during longer wear.

03 · PAD SIZE

Pad size affects comfort

Small pads can concentrate the frame weight. A larger contact area may help when the lenses or front are heavy.

04 · PAD MATERIAL

Pad material can change the feel

Silicone pads can provide a softer contact and more grip for some wearers. The best material depends on skin condition and frame weight.

05 · FRAME WEIGHT

Front weight adds pressure to the nose

Large lenses or a heavy front transfer more load to the pads. Check where the entire frame is supported.

06 · FRAME WIDTH

Frame width can also cause nose pain

A frame that is too wide can leave the temples unable to support the sides, sending more weight to the nose.

07 · TEMPLE SUPPORT

Behind-the-ear support reduces nose load

Loose temples can let the frame move forward and increase pad pressure.

SOLUTION GUIDE

A quick guide

Only part of a pad presses hard

Adjust pad angle and contact area.

The pads are too small

Consider a broader pad if the structure allows.

The pads feel hard or slippery

Consider silicone pads.

Only one side hurts

Check left and right pad height and angle.

The front is heavy

Review the overall weight balance.

GLANOS FITTING CHECK

GLANOS fitting check order

  1. Front alignment
    Confirm the frame is not twisted.
  2. Nose-pad contact
    Confirm even contact on both sides.
  3. Frame width
    Make sure weight is not concentrated on the nose.
  4. Temple bend
    Confirm stable support behind the ears.

CAUTION

Do not simply spread the nose pads because your nose hurts

Front alignment → nose pads → frame width → temple bend

Confirm the cause and adjust only what is needed.
