Why is it important to get your eyewear adjusted?

When your glasses don't fit properly, they can cause a number of problems, including:

  • Headaches: If your glasses are too tight, they can put pressure on your temples and cause headaches.
  • Eye strain: If your glasses are not aligned properly, your eyes have to work harder to focus, which can lead to eye strain.
  • Discomfort: If your glasses are uncomfortable, you're less likely to wear them, which can lead to vision problems.

How often should you get your eyewear adjusted?

It's a good idea to get your eyewear adjusted once or twice a year, or more often if you notice any problems.
