"Hi, my name is David with Expert Village and I’m going to show you how to adjust glasses. Now I’m going to discuss how to adjust the nose pads on a full metal frame. When your glasses are sitting upon your face and you see that the glasses are sitting too high or too low, those adjustments can be made at this point on the frame. The nose pads, if they are sitting too high on your face it means that the pads are too close together and need to be pushed out. You do this grasping the frame as such; taking the nose pads and twist so that it’s wider this way on both of them. You want to make sure that they are balanced so that your glasses don’t sit kind of crooked on your face. That will case the frames to sit lower on your face as such. Now if the frames are sitting too low on your face, that means that the nose pads need to be adjusted by pushing them closer together, again grab your frame as such; using your, using your thumb and forefinger go ahead and twist your nose pads in both at the top and bottom on both pads. You want to make sure that they are sitting balanced, that way the glasses sit straight on your face and this will cause your glasses to sit higher upon your nose like so. Sometimes your glasses are sitting crooked as in your glasses are shifted either to the left or the right on your face. If that is the case it means that your nose pads are not sitting exactly balanced. You can, in order to tell you can look at frame and see how the nose pads are sitting. Sometimes one nose pad is sitting too far to the left or too far to the right. This can be fixed by adjusting the nose pads and making sure that they sit balanced and that’s how you adjust nose pads on a full metal frame. "
