Troubleshooting
Retainer slips off frames
Ensure you have selected the correct frame end size for your glasses. The tips should fit snugly. If the tips are worn or stretched, consider replacing the retainer.
Bead does not hold position
Gently clean the bead and the cord it slides on to remove any dirt or residue that might be causing slippage. Ensure the cord is not frayed.
Cotton material feels heavy when wet
This is normal for cotton. Allow the retainer to air dry completely after exposure to water or heavy sweat.
Latex tips feel stiff or brittle
Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme heat, which can degrade latex. If stiffness is significant, it may be time to replace the retainer.
