Nosepads are connected to nosepad arms, which are welded to the eyeglasses frame. You should make only small alterations to the nosepad arms. If you perform large adjustments, or even frequent adjustments, the arms will break or the weld on the eyeglasses frame will break off. This is why it is important to properly learn how to adjust eyeglasses before attempting to make any adjustments by yourself. Learning how to adjust eyeglasses can be done online or in person at your optical center.

In order to adjust the temples on metal or plastic eyeglasses, modifications should be intermittent increments in order to avoid wearing down the frames material. For plastic eyeglass frames, it is important to heat up the plastic before you begin. You can do this just by running the temple tip under hot water for no more than twenty seconds or by using a handheld blow dryer. When the plastic frame is warm, make a small adjustment in the temple and then run the temple under cold water to set the plastic in the new position. Just be careful not to make the frame too hot or the plastic could buckle and blemish and the finish on the plastic could bubble and discolor.
