Q: I love my glasses. However the arms on my regular glasses are very loose. The screws are as tight as they can be. Is there anything else I can do to make the arms tighter?
A: Dear Jean Malcom,
Thank you so much for letting us know you love your glasses—that truly means the world to us! We are sincerely sorry to hear about the frustrating issue with the loose arms, especially after everything you\'ve been through with your previous orders.
Even when the screws are fully tightened, this is a common issue that happens over time as the hinge area gets slightly stretched from regular wear. The good news is that it\'s usually easy to fix safely at home with these simple steps:
Grab a hairdryer and set it to the lowest heat setting. Warm the curved end of each temple arm (the part that sits behind your ear) for 10-15 seconds—just enough to make the plastic slightly flexible, not hot to the touch.
Wrap a clean soft cloth around the arm to prevent scratches, then gently bend the end inward just a tiny bit towards your head.
Put the glasses on to test the fit, and repeat this process little by little until they feel snug but comfortable.
If the glasses also slide down your nose, you can gently squeeze the nose pads together slightly for a better fit on your bridge.
Please go slow and do not use excessive force or heat, as this could damage the frame. If these steps don\'t work or you don\'t feel comfortable adjusting them yourself, just let us know immediately.
