CREATIVE HACKS | DIY CUSTOM NOSE PADS FOR GLASSES FOR FREE | WATCH THIS IF YOU WEAR GLASSES 

I was an optician for many years before I retired last year. As an optician I fitted hundreds of people with their glasses and a good number of Asian women so i'm very familiar with the problem of the bridge fitting properly like you say. There was several solutions for this issue. One way was to find a small enough framer that had a very narrow bridge size. Another way which was usually better was to find a frame with adjustable nose pads. Unfortunately, there are only a few full plastic frames with adjustable nose pads. But there are many metal frames that have the adjustable nose pads. I would suggest you look for that type of frame in the future. You seem to have a rather strong prescription which is probably why you have been getting full plastic frames because it hides the thickness of your lenses better. But they offer a good number of metal frames in a thicker frame style as well. Using the glue gun is very risky because if you get any of the hot glue on a lens it will ruin the lens. Also if the glue doesn't lay down smoothly it could make your glasses very uncomfortable to wear.

Creative, cheap, fast, DIY with what you have at home, exactly why I'd thank you for this video. My wife is in the same situation as you and this is exactly the type of solution I come to RU-vid for. Obviously there are other more expensive, more traditional, more technically correct, and store provided solutions, if I wanted those I'd have just gone to the mall.

It worked for me, and I was this close to ordering another pair - You saved me $$$ Thanks!

Great idea. I modified your technique by purchasing adhesive nose pads. I then used the glue gun to keep building them up in layers until the frames no longer rested on my cheeks and the tops aligned with my eyebrows. I even added one extra pad on only one side so the frames are not tilted on my face.

Thank you so much for this inexpensive hack! I bought a pair of Versace frames (expensive) that fit my lenses. I had the lenses installed, but like you said, laid on my cheek more than i liked. My nose is small, and my prescription is pretty weighty. I purchased hot glue gun, and black glue, as my frames are black. i practiced a couple times (carefully) and after a few times, made my pads. It worked! My husband asked me what i did. My reply; " If you can't see what I did, then it worked!" Ha ha! Thank you so much! Best hack ever! Forever grateful! I've always wanted plastic frames but shied away from them, till now!

Thank you so much! My glasses did not sit high enough on my nose and they were constantly sliding off. Grrrr!😬🤦‍♀ I have progressive lenses which makes it important for them to stay in the correct position so I can look thru the part of the lens that I need for near or far distances. *Finally, a solution!* Thank you for taking the time to post your solution. It has worked for me as well. 🙏❤👓🤓👏👍🤗😊

Genius! Thanks! This whole time I've been layering those adhesive nose pads. 😆👍

Wow! I love this! I have a callous on the side of my nose from pushing my glasses up so much! Thank you!

wow. great hack. i have the same problem with the frames touching the upper part of my cheeks and it's annoying. thank you so much

Brilliant!!! I'm not of Asian descent but have the same problem. I bought wire frames last time simply because I wanted real nose pads and I don't like the frames much. Now I'll order plastic frames with confidence and cover the lenses in plastic wrap during gluing. Wonderful idea. Thank you!!

What a very very very smart girl !

Great idea. I am going to try thus hack timirriw morning. Thanks a bunch. You are beautiful!

I wish I’d seen this video last week :( I just spent $300 on 2 pairs of sunnies at an optometrists. They didn’t have any Asian-fit, but the store person tweaked the arms a little to fit behind my ears better and hopefully hold them up. They sat nicely for the first 2 days but now fall and I find it hard to breath and SO annoying when they drop onto my nose, so yesterday I bought some stick-on nose pads, and ear grips off eBay to try. If they don’t work your glue gun idea sounds like the go!! Thanks so much for sharing this tip

It's a brilliant idea! Just like to add a little suggestion, as our nose tends to gets oily at times, how about we add on a type of adhesive nose pad onto it? It should helps to prevent slip off for oily nose bridge 😂.

Great idea, I will do this because my glasses fall off when I wear the mask and it is uncomfortable. Thank you so much.

Thank you ! Don’t know why this video hasn’t gone viral !!!

Thank you sO much ! I have a low nose bridge also and my glasses were constantly sliding down my nose. This worked perfectly !

Thanks for the tip, I ' ll try it- Anyway you should protect your lenses while doing it, with sticky foil or some sticker

I will def. try this. What a great idea! I have been searching for DYI add on nose pad forever! Thank you

I use thick double sided tape but i don't peel off the film that will rest on my nose. Great idea of yours!

I have the same problem as you. In every way. They are supported by my cheeks. Not my nose bridge. I couldnt wear stylish plastic frames due to this problem. So a million thanks for this wonderful inexpensive hack.

I have multifocal lens and unfortunately my nose is really small that the optician had a tough time finding the most suitable lens for me. It's ok when I drive but a pain when I need to read something closer. Will try this hack!

A really good, cheap idea. My nose is really big for a German woman. My plastic frames fit my nose, they are just a little bit too small. I used hot glue to make them less slippery, now it’s perfect

Hi, I just ordered 3 pairs of new glasses, my prescription is high and there is mostly plastic frames to choose on the market nowadays. Just picked up the new glasses but feel it needs nose pad to sit a bit higher. Your video is a lifter, thanks you so much for sharing this tip to benefit others who have the same problem. I also like someone in the comment recommended to put a protective tape over the lens to avoid dropping the glue accidentally on it. Great suggestion! I wish everyone has a suitable solution to this, Happy wearing eye glasses! 👍😎💕

thank uuuuu so much it was literally helpful it worked to me luv uuuuuuu😭🥰🎀🌷

FYI! If you have the rubber mat meant for the glue gun you can actually drop the glue on to it and create your "pads" and let it dry, when you peel them off of the mat you have a flat surface to drop a bit of glue on and then stick them to the nose piece.

I have some nose pads will glue on a pair to my glasses. Thanks for the tip🎉

Excellent idea - I am going to get creative with this idea of yours. Thanks!

Good idea. My nose doesn't have a bridge so my glasses always slide down to my nostrils. I'm going to try this. 👍🏿

thanks so much for this! i got a pair of transition lens and i realized that i was getting blurry vision because the glass stuck too close to my eyes because of ill fitting nose pads. I needed it way further than it is now. i will try this!

Thanks for this suggestion. I just fixed my son's glasses, which had a broken pad, in time for school tomorrow!

I did that on mine to since I have big head but small nose. add rubber or foam for extra padding for extra comfort, and for black frame you can find black glue sticks for aesthetic

OMG!! Thank you so much for this video. My glasses slide down my nose and it’s hard to breathe. Thank you!!!!!

Very good idea, thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I have a very narrow nose bridge and a very strong prescription with progressive lenses. The progressive lenses have very little "wiggle room" so I'm always moving my glasses around so I can see. I'm excited to try this!

great tip, tried it and worked. Not sure what will happen on a hot day, maybe it sticks to my face. 😛

Tysm! I always had this problem since my nose is very flat, but thankfully my main glasses have nose pads plus I think they look good on me. Though I bought cheap glasses to use at home but they don’t have nose pads, gonna try this tomorrow

The most beautiful and unique characteristic of eyes belongs to the Asian community. A trillion different shapes, angles. Just beautiful beautiful beautiful.

Thank you! Just what I needed!!

I find your voice soothing idk why. 🤗🥰

Wow, I have to try this! Thank you. ❤

good idea/tip, thanks for sharing.

I need to do this with my glasses I just got. Thanks!

Great idea. Thanks!

Thank you! Very helpful!

😂OMG same here flat 👃 😎 on searching for diY nosepad found this video👍

I am off to try this hack,I am struggling with my vario glasses the bridge needs to be a couple of ml higher they keep slipping down my nose. The stick on nose pads only last a couple of days before falling off. Thank you so much ❤️❤️

Omg thank u sooo much.. im going to try this.. how long will the glue last? And will the body heat not make it soft? How long does your glue last?

Nice and creative! I always had cheap sunglasses but last year, for the first time I bought an expensive Asian fit sunglasses (Oakley's), while they do feel a little better it still touches my cheeks when I move my cheeks even a few cm. When I relax my face then it's good. Also when my nose has any oils they slip! At the moment I might give those adhesive nose pads a try. The hot glue is not hot enough to damage the glasses frame? Namely plastic frames?

Genius. Thank you!

Great video 👍Thank you so much!

Thanks for the idea!

Omggg i really need this i wanna try

great idea! I'm going to do this today! ty!

And how do you remove it without leaving a mark?

You are every smart ! Thank you!

Thank you for this life hack! 💕

Thank you

Love it !!! Keep it up

I love this idea. I have a problem with my eyelashes being very long, I am a man,, and rubbing the lenses. Its very annoying. Do u think this could work for me?

Ptm soy estudiante de ingles :v y aqui es cuando ves las utilidades de ellos pq en español no existen videos tan informativos como este 😔

Great hack! 👍 thanks!

Great idea!

You are amazing!

Thanks

Pretty good idea ,Thankyou ! i don’t think your Nationality has that much to do with having to modify your glasses it’s very difficult to find frames to fit my face comfortably as well ,BTW , you are a very Attractive Woman and i do like the style of Frames you have i’m almost 60 years old and i grew up inFlorida where Sunglasses are a big part of our everyday Life and Fashion ronically i really like Women that wear Glasses i think they have a way of highlighting the Eyes and i enjoy talking to people that will look into one another’s Eyes in a conversation

Thanks for the tip :)

Wow you are so smart LOL

It works thank you

Genius!

Perfect 👍🏾

Instructions unclear. My frame is now glued to my face. Maybe it’s not a bad thing.

Thak you!

Is it sticky strong? Or easy to remove?

Great idea! Can't you see anything without glasses?

You are a genius! Thank you!

My nose is low too!! I am Italian 🙂

What is the prescription about your glasses?

Yet another great reason for every household to have a hot glue gun in the tool box

do you Verry biutiful. Saya suka.

🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👍🙏😉

This one asian girl I knew always had her glasses on the tip of her nose so I would always push it up for her

wait for it to "dry" lol

Great idea thanks for sharing!

Thank you
