Adjustable nose pads sit on thin metal arms that bend, so the frame can be set higher, lower or level on your face. That one feature can fix the three most common fit problems: frames that slide down, frames that rest on your cheeks and frames that sit crooked. Small changes take seconds, and any optician can make larger ones.
The Aviator Total and the Retro Trendy are metal aviators that pair adjustable pads with a low bridge fit. The Pearl-Accented is a rimless sunglass with titanium temples.
The guide to nose pads for glasses explains how to set them safely, and why glasses keep sliding down your nose covers the other causes.
What do adjustable nose pads actually do?
They move. On a molded bridge the frame sits wherever the mold puts it, and if that does not match your nose you are stuck with it. Pads on arms can be bent in, out, up or down, so the same frame can be set to sit higher or lower and to grip more or less.
Will adjustable pads stop my glasses sliding down?
Usually, yes, and they are the first thing to try. Sliding is almost always a bridge that is cut wider or higher than the nose it is resting on. Bringing the pads slightly closer together gives the frame something to sit on instead of something to slide off.
Can I adjust the pads myself?
You can, gently, with clean fingers and small movements, checking the fit after each one. Bend the pad arms rather than the pads. If the frame is expensive or the arms feel stiff, an optician will do it in a couple of minutes and usually for nothing.
Which MUJOSH frames have adjustable nose pads?
Mostly the metal ones, which is why this collection and the metal frames collection overlap. Acetate frames generally use a molded bridge instead, which is why MUJOSH cuts many of those on a low bridge pattern so they sit correctly without pads.
