Perfect Fit: How Nose Pads and Adjustable Pad Arms Improve Your Glasses

Comfort is key when it comes to wearing glasses all day. At Optics Workshop, we specialise in adding and adjusting nose pads and nose pad arms to make your glasses fit comfortably, securely, and exactly how they should.

Why Nose Pads Matter

Nose pads do more than hold your glasses in place, they help distribute the weight of your frames evenly across your nose. Worn, damaged, or missing pads can cause glasses to slide down, create uneven pressure, leave red marks, or even make lenses sit crookedly, affecting your vision.

By adding or adjusting nose pads, we can improve comfort, stability, and even the overall appearance of your glasses on your face.

What Are Adjustable Nose Pad Arms?

Some frames, especially acetate or heavier designs, don’t naturally sit perfectly on every nose. In these cases, we can fit adjustable nose pad arms, which allow the pads to be positioned precisely for your unique nose shape. This provides a custom, secure fit.

How We Add or Adjust Nose Pads

At our Perth workshop, we use professional tools and a variety of high-quality replacement pads to:

• Replace worn or missing nose pads with soft silicone or other comfortable materials

• Install new pad arms on acetate frames when necessary

• Adjust the position of pads for perfect alignment, balance, and all-day comfort

This careful process ensures your glasses sit evenly, stay in place, and feel comfortable from morning to night.

The Benefits of Professional Nose Pad Adjustment

At Optics Workshop Perth, a simple nose pad replacement or adjustment can make a huge difference in how your glasses feel and fit. Don’t put up with slipping, uncomfortable glasses, send them in and let us customise the fit for you.
