Once the frame doesn’t fit well, you should require an adjustment from your doctor. Your doctor may adjust metal frames through bending slightly and tightening the screws. If the frame is made of plastic, he may heat and reshape it directly. Face style and preference should be the first criteria when you choose the color and shape of frames.
