Uneven ears and crooked glasses—fixes?

[Anonymous]

I just realized that the reason my glasses always look askew is that my ears are at slightly different heights! How do I fix this? I need to make one of the glasses arms sit higher—anybody found a good way to do this that works for you? (I like plastic frames, so I can’t change the angle at the temple.)

Can you wiggle your ear?

Bring it to the place you bought them. They will adjust the arms for you.

Have you…never had your glasses professionally adjusted?

They basically take a blowdryer and bend the frame. Better the store does it than you, in case they break them.

I bet you had torticollis as a baby and it was undiagnosed. It’s something that wasn’t treated until more recently. It causes slight unevenness in features, like ear placement. Super common (just thought you might be interested in the probable why of it) and like others said a opto can better fit your glasses for you.

What about dealing with it at the nose part the bridge?

I worked as an optician during college. Ears are never perfectly symmetrical. If they're plastic, it easy enough to adjust them at home. Here are some tips:

Nose pads on wire frames can be adjusted; plastic cannot. For plastic frames, adjusting the arms will help with the nose fit. Here are some tips:

As others have said, get an optician to fit them properly for you. Most optometry shops will do this — even if you didn’t purchase your glasses there. I’d get them done where I purchased them though, in case there are any problems.

I used to go to Lens Crafters and they would do it for free even if I didn't buy my glasses from them.
