Troubleshooting
Eyewear feels loose or slips down the nose.
Ensure the Three-Point Fit is correctly aligned. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by a professional optician. Clean the nose pads and temple tips as oils and dirt can reduce grip.
Smudges or fingerprints are visible on the clear frame.
Gently wipe the frame with a soft microfiber cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap and water solution on the cloth, then dry thoroughly.
Discomfort at the temples or behind the ears.
Check if the temples are bent or if the frame is too tight. The Three-Point Fit should minimize pressure; if discomfort persists, consult an optician for professional adjustment.
