Do tight glasses mean a good fit?

01 · GRIP

Strong grip is easy to create

Narrowing the frame and bending the temple ends deeply can make glasses move less.

Aggressive nose-pad narrowing or pressure can also reduce slipping.

The problem is that this grip may be created by pressing specific areas of the face too strongly.

02 · PRESSURE

Pressure often becomes clearer over time

A frame may feel only slightly tight at first, then produce temple pain, pressure behind the ears or deep nose marks after hours of wear.

Fitting should be judged not only in the first few minutes but also by whether discomfort increases with time.

03 · SLIPPING

Find the reason for slipping first

Narrowing frame width is not the universal answer to slipping.

Poor nose-pad or bridge fit, front-heavy balance or insufficient rear support may be responsible.

Increasing pressure without solving the cause can simply create a new symptom.

04 · DISTRIBUTION

Good stability comes from balance, not excessive pressure

If the nose supports the front, the temples limit side movement and the rear fitting limits forward movement as needed, the frame can remain stable without heavy clamping.

The key is to divide roles among the contact points.

05 · LONG WEAR

A good fit should remain comfortable over time

Fitting quality is often clearer during real-life wear than during a few minutes in the shop.

Persistent pain or increasingly deep marks are reasons to check whether the frame is being held too tightly.

Key points at a glance

GLANOS FITTING CHECK

GLANOS fitting check order

1. Front
   Check reference alignment.
2. Nose pads / bridge
   Check nose support and pressure.
3. Width
   Check for excessive temple pressure.
4. Temple bend
   Use only the rear support required.

CAUTION

“No movement” does not equal “good fitting”
