Glasses Too Tight on Nose: How I Solved This Problem

I dealt with glasses too tight on nose pain for months before I figured out what was wrong. Red marks, constant discomfort, and headaches were my daily reality. The solution turned out to be simpler than I expected.

Why My Glasses Were Too Tight

The problem was the bridge width. My glasses had a 16mm bridge, but my nose actually needed 18mm minimum. Those 2mm made all the difference between comfort and constant pain.

Signs Your Glasses Are Too Tight

Red marks or indentations on your nose

Pain or pressure on the bridge

Headaches after wearing glasses

Constantly adjusting to relieve pressure

The Solution

I measured my nose bridge properly and bought frames with an 18mm bridge width. The difference was immediate - no more pain, no more marks, just comfortable all-day wear.

If you have metal frames with adjustable nose pads, an optician can adjust them. But if you have plastic frames like I do, you need the right bridge width from the start.

How to Measure Your Nose Bridge

Use a ruler to measure across the bridge of your nose at its narrowest point. That's the minimum bridge width you need. I recommend going 1-2mm wider for comfort.

Don't suffer with tight glasses. The right bridge width makes wearing glasses painless.
