  How to adjust acetate glasses frames and arms?

  
  Acetate eyeglasses that are too loose or too tight can be uncomfortable and can even cause headaches or other vision problems. How do you adjust an acetate frame for a comfortable fit?
  
  1. Heating frame
  Soak the frame in hot water for 30 seconds-1 minute or use a heat gun to heat the area that needs to be adjusted, if you only adjust the temples, do not put the lens in hot water.
  
  2. Make adjustments
  Once the acetate is soft and can be adjusted, the frame can be gently bent into the desired shape by hand or with special tools:
  
  With the glasses facing up, with the lenses facing you, place the four fingers of your left hand under the temple, and place your index finger on the natural curve of the temple to support the frame.
  
  Slowly and gently push down on the end of the temple with your right hand. You should feel it flex on your index finger. No need to push too far! All these adjustments should be slight.
  
  Once one side is done, repeat at the end of the temple on the other side. Try to make sure both sides look equal.
  
  Be careful not to apply too much pressure as this can crack or damage the frame.
  
  3. Check the fit
  After adjustment, try the glasses on to see if the fit has improved. Readjust if necessary until the glasses fit comfortably.
  
  4. Cooling frame
  After checking, cool the frames quickly by placing them in cold water or placing them in front of a fan. This will help the material harden and retain its new shape.
  
  Hint:
  If you feel that you are not adjusting well, you can take your glasses to an optician or eyewear specialist for help.
