There are several reasons glasses may seem too small for your face if you wear them. If your head is round or oval, glasses will appear best when the frame size matches your face. If your face is round, you can choose a size that is slightly smaller than the frame. Frames that extend beyond your temples can make your face appear wider and more balanced. A frame that is slightly longer than your face may be a good choice if you have a long nose.


Avoid frames that are too big if your face is small. A narrow face appears strained. Wider frames will ensure that your glasses fit properly. Clear frames look good and blend with your facial features, giving you a classy, subtle look. For best results, choose frames that are heavier at their top than at the bottom to ensure they look great. A pair of glasses too large will make them look unflattering.


Next, check the nose pads of your glasses. They should fit comfortably on your face and not rub or irritate the skin. If the glasses are too wide, you can adjust the bridge to ensure they don't rub against your nose. You can also adjust the nose pads of frames that don't have adjustable nose pads. If you have trouble adjusting the nose pads, your optician may suggest a different material for them to help make your glasses fit properly.


Another common reason why glasses may be too small for your face is because of the size of the temples. These pieces of plastic should reach straight behind your ears. They should not touch the sides of your head or be directly in front. Having the temples too close to your nose can cause them to slide down your face and leave a rash. Re-try the glasses with smaller dimensions to see if they are damaged.


Your glasses may be too small for your face. You may have glasses that have too small arms around the temples. This causes extra pressure on your temples and can cause headaches and sinus problems. This problem can be alleviated by changing the temple arms on your glasses. You can avoid eye strain and problems with vision by making sure that your glasses fit correctly.


When purchasing new glasses, make sure the bridge of the glasses fits snugly. Most glasses made of metal have adjustable nose pads. Metal frames don't have these features. For the best vision correction, ensure that the bridge is properly fitted. A bridge that is too loose can cause your glasses to slip down onto your nose and compromise your vision. Your vision correction will be affected if the bridge is too tight. If the bridge is too loose, you will have to adjust them to compensate for the gap.
