Frame Fitting and Adjustments
Frame fitting and adjustments can help glasses sit more comfortably and securely when they slide, sit unevenly or feel uncomfortable. Hakim Optical can assess frame alignment and fit and explain which adjustments may be possible. Service availability, fees and adjustments to frames purchased elsewhere vary by location and frame condition.
A More Comfortable, Secure Fit
If your glasses slide, sit unevenly or feel uncomfortable, bring them in for an assessment. Our team can check frame alignment and fit and explain which adjustments may be possible.
Service availability, fees and the ability to adjust frames purchased elsewhere vary by location and frame condition.
When Your Glasses May Need Attention
The way a frame sits can affect how comfortable and secure your glasses feel during everyday wear. If the fit has changed, an in-person assessment can help determine whether an adjustment may be possible.
Consider bringing your glasses in if they:
- Slide down: the frame does not stay comfortably in position.
- Sit unevenly: the glasses appear higher on one side or no longer feel level.
- Feel too tight: the frame creates uncomfortable pressure during wear.
- Feel too loose: the glasses move more than expected during normal activity.
- Feel different than before: the fit or alignment seems to have changed over time.
A fit concern does not always mean the frame is damaged. The first step is to have the eyewear assessed and determine which options may be appropriate.
What Can Affect an Eyeglass Adjustment?
The adjustments that may be possible depend on the individual frame, its condition and the fit concern being assessed.
Frame Alignment
The team can look at how the frame sits and whether the eyewear appears balanced when worn.
Frame Condition
A frame that is bent, worn or damaged may require a different approach from a routine fitting adjustment.
Frame Design
Different frame constructions and materials can affect which adjustments may be appropriate.
Ask the Location Before Your Visit
The ability to assess or adjust eyewear purchased elsewhere can vary by Hakim Optical location and by the condition of the frame.
Fees and service availability may also vary. If you are unsure whether a location can assist with your glasses, contact the store before visiting.

Bring the Actual Frame in for Assessment
Frame fitting and adjustments are hands-on services. Bringing your glasses into a Hakim Optical location allows the team to look at the eyewear itself and how it sits when you wear it.
Explain what feels uncomfortable or different, such as slipping, uneven positioning, tightness or looseness. The frame can then be assessed and the team can explain whether an adjustment may be possible.
If the eyewear has visible damage or needs more than a normal fitting adjustment, a repair assessment may be more appropriate.
