Does wearing glasses really make your nose bridge flatter?

Many friends have reported that wearing glasses for a long time will cause their nose bridge to collapse. This is a very normal phenomenon. The main reasons are that the glasses are too heavy, the nose pads are uneven, and the bend of the temples is not adjusted properly. Therefore, people should pay special attention to these issues when choosing glasses to better prevent the nose bridge from collapsing.

1. Reasons why wearing glasses causes nose bridge collapse

(1) Glasses are too heavy

The weight of the glasses is on two small stress points on the bridge of the nose, so of course your nose will hurt. You can buy lighter glasses frames.

(2) Uneven nose pads

If the nose pad is not flat on the surface of the nose skin, but tilted to one side, the weight of the glasses will press on a certain point of the nose pad, which will cause a red mark on the nose. There are generally two reasons why the frame presses on the bridge of your nose: first, the glasses are too heavy; second, the nose pads of the glasses are not suitable. If the glasses are too heavy, change to a lighter frame, such as titanium alloy TR90 lenses with a higher refractive index. The higher the refractive index, the thinner the lens and the lighter it is. If the nose pads are not suitable, if they are integrated nose pads, you can look for adhesive gaskets on Taobao. If they are movable, you can take them to the optical shop for fine-tuning. You can also change to a larger and more comfortable nose pad.

(3) The bend of the temples is not adjusted properly

If the curvature is too large or too forward, the entire position of the glasses will be pushed back after wearing, pressing on the bridge of the nose, causing the nose to be pressed.

2. Treatment recommendations

This can be corrected with contact lenses. You can also consider corneal laser surgery to correct myopia and achieve normal vision without wearing glasses. An ophthalmological examination is required to make a clear diagnosis, and the decision should be made based on the condition of the patient. Corneal laser surgery can correct myopia. It only takes half a day to check and make an appointment if you meet the requirements. Wet a towel with warm water and apply it to the bridge of your nose and massage it every morning and evening. I suggest that you don't wear these glasses anymore. You should wear a pair of wooden glasses because they don't press on the bridge of your nose.
