Quick answer

Adjusting your London sunglasses involves gentle tweaks to the nose pads and temples. Follow these steps for a secure, comfortable fit without risking damage.

Why proper adjustment matters

Ill-fitting sunglasses can cause discomfort, headaches, or constant slipping. The London frame's titanium construction is lightweight but requires careful handling to avoid bending the delicate temples or hinges.

When to seek professional help

If you encounter resistance or the frame feels stiff, stop. Titanium is strong but can snap if over-bent. For major adjustments, especially to the bridge or hinge area, visit an optician.

Step-by-step adjustment guide

  1. 1. Gather your tools: You'll need a soft cloth, a small flathead screwdriver, and a gentle touch. Avoid using pliers or excessive force. Check that the screwdriver fits the London's tiny hinge screws.
  2. 2. Adjust the nose pads: Hold the frame firmly but gently. Use your thumbs to push the nose pads inward for a tighter grip or outward for a looser fit. Make small, even adjustments on both sides. Common mistake: pressing too hard can snap the acetate inner rim. Work slowly.
  3. 3. Align the temples: To fix a crooked fit, gently bend the temple arm at the hinge area—not at the middle. For a tighter hold, curve the temple tip inward behind your ear. Checkpoint: after each bend, try the glasses on to test the alignment.
  4. 4. Tighten loose screws: If the frame wobbles, use the screwdriver to gently tighten the hinge screws. Do not overtighten—turn just until snug. Apply a tiny drop of threadlocker if screws keep loosening.
  5. 5. Final fit check: Wear the sunglasses for a few minutes. They should sit evenly on your nose and ears without pinching or sliding. If discomfort persists, revisit steps 2 and 3 for micro-adjustments.
