"Hi, my name is David with Expert Village and I’m going to show you how to adjust glasses. Now we’re going to discuss how to adjust the nose pads on a drill mount frame. Sometimes when wearing the glasses you notice that the frames are sitting too high or too low on your face. In order to spread the nose pads and make the glasses sit lower on your face you will take the pads in your fingers like so and spread them apart by applying minimal, as minimal pressure as needed like so. That makes the nose pads sit wider and therefore sit lower on your face. Perhaps the glasses are sitting too low on your face and need to be raised, this can also be done with the nose pads by moving the nose pads in closer like so. Perhaps your frames are sitting either too far to the left or too far to the right on your, on your glasses, on your face. This can also be corrected by the nose pads by making sure that your nose pads are sitting center. If one is sitting too far off to the side, grip it and adjust it as needed in order to make sure that your nose pads are sitting center. When adjusting your nose pads you want to make sure that you grip the bridge directly in the center and have a tight firm grip. If you do not have a firm grip the chances are when you go to make the adjustments the frames could slip out of your hand. You do not want to grab the glasses here or just hold them anywhere like so because of the drill points and by moving the nose pads you will weaken those drill points and possibly crack those lenses. You always want to make sure that you have a firm grip across the bridge before adjusting your nose pads and that’s how you adjust the nose pads on a drill mount frame. "
