Quick answer

Most Capita fit problems—slipping, nose pressure, or uneven tilt—can be solved with gentle frame and temple adjustments. If the titanium bridge flexes too much or the lenses touch your cheeks, the frame may be too wide for your face.

Why the Capita frame behaves differently

The Capita is a modern aviator with an all-titanium construction and a unique cross-detail nose bridge. Titanium is strong but lightweight, so the frame can feel different from heavier acetate styles. The flat-face curve gives a sleek look but may sit differently on high cheekbones or narrow noses.

Because the Capita lacks adjustable nose pads (a common omission in metal aviators), fit corrections rely on bending the bridge and temples. This is normal for the design, but it means you need to diagnose the exact symptom before making any change.

Diagnose and fix common Capita fit problems

  • Symptom: Sunglasses slide down your nose: Likely cause: The temple arms are too straight or the nose bridge is too wide for your face. Corrective action: Gently bend the temple arms inward at the hinge area (not the ear hook) using your thumbs. For the bridge, apply light, even pressure to the top of the bridge to narrow it slightly. Test after each small adjustment. If the frame still slides after two gentle attempts, the bridge width is too large for your face—consider a different frame.
  • Symptom: Pressure marks on your nose or temples: Likely cause: The nose bridge is too narrow or the temple arms are too tight. Corrective action: For nose pressure, gently widen the bridge by pushing outward at the top of the bridge. For temple pressure, slightly bend the temple arms outward at the hinge. Only adjust one area at a time. Persistent pressure after widening suggests the frame is too small—stop adjusting and explore larger or adjustable-nose-pad models.
  • Symptom: One lens sits higher than the other: Likely cause: The frame is twisted or one temple is bent differently. Corrective action: Hold the frame in front of you and sight along the top rim. If one side dips, gently twist the frame at the bridge in the opposite direction. If one temple flares out, bend it inward slightly at the hinge. If the tilt returns after straightening, the frame may have a structural twist that requires professional service.
