Here’s a small eyewear habit that makes a big difference in how your glasses look, feel, and last
When putting on or removing your glasses, always use both hands!
It might seem like a small thing, but here’s what actually happens when you don’t:
🔹 Frame balance shifts.
Grabbing your glasses from one side causes uneven pressure, which bends the frame over time. Even a tiny misalignment can change how your lenses sit in front of your eyes and that can subtly affect your vision clarity.
🔹 Hinges loosen faster.
Every time one temple is pulled more than the other, it adds stress to the hinge screws. That’s why one arm sometimes feels looser, even if the glasses are new.
🔹 Fit becomes uneven.
One side will start to sit higher or tighter than the other, leading to discomfort, red marks, or a frame that constantly slides down your nose.
The fix?
Simply use both hands, hold your frames evenly by the temples, and lift or lower them gently. It keeps your glasses properly balanced, reduces wear and tear, and helps maintain that perfect, comfortable fit you got from your last adjustment!
A mindful habit today = better comfort, clearer vision, and longer lasting eyewear tomorrow.
