What is a correct adjustment if the patient's glasses push too far down the nose?

When glasses are positioned too far down the nose, one effective adjustment is to lower the nose pads. This action allows the frames to sit higher on the nose bridge, which can improve comfort and positioning, ensuring that the lenses align more appropriately with the eyes for optimal vision.

Lowering the nose pads effectively brings the lenses closer to the eyes, which is crucial for achieving the correct optical alignment, especially in prescriptions that require precise positioning to minimize distortion or maximize visual clarity.

The other options, while they may potentially adjust fit in different contexts, do not address the specific issue of the glasses sliding down the nose in the same effective manner. For instance, adjusting temple length may change how the eyeglasses fit around the ears but does not necessarily influence how they sit on the nose. Similarly, increasing pantoscopic tilt can alter the angle at which the lenses sit but may not resolve the overall positioning issue, and raising the OC (optical center) typically does not address the downward slid but rather focuses on the right alignment based on a measurement already taken.
