If the eyewires are touching the cheeks, which adjustment should be made?

When eyewires are touching the cheeks, this typically indicates that the frame is sitting too low on the wearer's face. To address this issue, the most effective adjustment is to decrease the pantoscopic tilt. Pantoscopic tilt refers to the angle at which the lenses are tilted forward against the face. By decreasing this tilt, the eyewires will be elevated away from the cheeks, allowing for a more comfortable fit and preventing the eyewires from resting on the skin.

This adjustment not only ensures better alignment of the lenses with the wearer's eyes but also contributes to overall comfort. When eyewires touch the cheeks, it can compromise both the aesthetics of how the eyeglasses sit on the face and the functionality of the lenses in providing optimal vision correction.
