I just got my new glasses. The frames hurt the side of my head.
They have tried to fix them but they still hurt. Could they be too small for my head? Do you think they could exchange them for a different pair?
ANSWER
Dear Cynthia,
This is a difficult question to answer without the benefit of seeing you with the glasses in place. If the glasses are pressing on the side of your head, they can be quite uncomfortable. Most frames can be adjusted so that the temples (the arms) only make proper contact with your head over and behind your ears. Sometimes it takes several attempts to get glasses properly adjusted – and in all honesty, some people are more skilled at this task than others. If several people have tried unsuccessfully to adjust your glasses, and you are still uncomfortable, you may need to choose another frame.
