If the eyeglasses settle too low on the wearer's nose, how should the nose pads be adjusted?

When eyeglasses settle too low on the wearer's nose, adjusting the nose pads closer together is the appropriate action. This adjustment raises the front of the glasses, which can help ensure that the lenses align properly with the wearer's eyes.

Bringing the nose pads closer together effectively changes the angle at which the glasses rest on the nose, moving the frame upward. This helps in achieving a better fit and alignment for vision correction. Additionally, positioning the pads closer can provide a more secure hold, preventing the glasses from sliding down further.

It’s important to note that if the nose pads are spread apart, it would push the eyeglasses lower, compounding the issue of poor fit. Similarly, bending the nose pads downwards would also lead to the frames sitting even lower, exacerbating the problem. Leaving the nose pads as is would not address the issue and may lead to discomfort or vision problems due to misalignment.
