VIEWS FOR 20/20 by Dr. Mark Skowron GETTING THE RIGHT FIT If your eyeglasses do not fit well, they can be more of a distraction than a help. With this in mind, you know you have a problem when the arms (temples) of your glasses pinch the back of your ears. If the temples are too short, they will not rest comfortably behind the ears. If they pinch but are the correct length, they can be adjusted. Another sign of trouble is indentations left on the bridge of your nose by nose pads that fit too tightly. While the nose pads on metal frames may be adjustable, those on plastic frames are difficult to alter. You can eliminate these problems by selecting glasses with the appropriate bridge size at the start. When you're being fitted with eyeglass frames, it is important that your eyes are centered in the frame, particularly if you have a strong prescription. The better centered the eye is in the frame, the better you will see and the slimmer your lenses will be at their edges. SKOWRON EYE CARE has been providing personal, cutting-edge eye care for patients in the Western suburbs since 1983. At Skowron Eye Care, your 20/20 vision is our mission. P.S. Eyeglasses that continually slip may be due to the weight of the glasses or incorrect temple or bridge size. SKOWRON EYE CARE 370 N.
