Key point first

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

Plastic-frame glasses can leave pressure, deep marks or pain at a specific area of the nose.

01 · BRIDGE CONTACT

Check broad, stable bridge contact

If only one part of the bridge presses, pressure concentrates in a small area. The bridge should meet the nose broadly and steadily.

02 · BRIDGE WIDTH

Check bridge width

A bridge that is too narrow can press at the sides; one that is too wide can slip and repeatedly press one area.

03 · BRIDGE HEIGHT

A frame sitting too low can also hurt

Incorrect bridge height can leave the frame resting on a painful area. Check the height at which the frame sits.

04 · FRAME WEIGHT

Front weight adds pressure to the nose

Thicker fronts, larger lenses and higher prescriptions can add front weight. Check how the face distributes that weight.

05 · FRAME WIDTH

Frame width can add nose pressure

A frame that is too wide sends weight forward; one that is too narrow can twist the frame and increase one-sided pressure.

06 · TEMPLE SUPPORT

Behind-the-ear support reduces bridge load

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

07 · NOSE PAD MODIFICATION

Plastic frames can still be supported at the nose

Adhesive pads, fitted acetate pads or adjustable pads may be considered when the structure allows.

SOLUTION GUIDE

A quick guide

Only part of the bridge presses

Check contact area and position.

Bridge width does not fit

Check whether the frame suits the nose shape.

The frame sits too low

Check height and bridge structure.

The frame feels heavy

Check front weight, width and behind-the-ear support.

You want modest nose support

Consider adhesive or non-slip pads.

GLANOS FITTING CHECK

GLANOS fitting check order

  1. Front alignment
    Confirm the frame is not twisted.
  2. Bridge contact
    Confirm the bridge meets the nose evenly.
  3. Frame width
    Make sure weight is not concentrated on the nose.
  4. Temple bend
    Confirm appropriate support behind the ears.

CAUTION

Do not add pads indiscriminately because your nose hurts

Front alignment → bridge → frame width → temple bend

Confirm the cause and choose only the support method that is needed.
