Introduction
This guide provides a simple, effective method to adjust the fit of eyeglasses using household tools, specifically a hair dryer and pliers. Over time, glasses frames can bend or warp due to drops, tight storage, or daily wear. This repair process helps restore frames to their original shape, improving comfort and fit.
For this fix, you'll need a hair dryer, pliers, and a cloth or towel to protect the frame finish. Note that using heat on plastic frames can help soften them for adjustment, while metal frames require gentle handling to prevent over-bending. Before beginning, consider any coatings or delicate parts of the frames to avoid damage.
This guide works best for minor adjustments. For more serious repairs, consult a professional to avoid potential damage.

Remember to handle each adjustment with care, especially when using heat on plastic frames and applying pressure to metal frames, to avoid damage. With a little patience, this process will have your glasses feeling as good as new, letting you see clearly and comfortably throughout the day.
