How Can I Fix Uneven Glasses?

Most Swannies frames are crafted from premium, prescription grade acetate.

Acetate is derived from cotton fibers and wood pulp and is commonly used in high quality eyewear. It is lightweight, durable, and flexible, and is often preferred over standard petroleum based plastics for its comfort and premium feel.

Because acetate can be adjusted with heat, frames can be gently shaped to better fit your face or readjusted if they become slightly misaligned over time. This adjustability is one of the reasons acetate is widely used in premium eyewear manufacturing.

However, acetate is softer than some synthetic plastics and may shift slightly with extended wear or exposure to heat.

If your glasses are not sitting straight, this is typically normal and can usually be corrected with a professional adjustment.

We recommend having your frames fitted by an optician or eyewear professional when you receive them and periodically as needed. Most large eyewear stores in the US, including the likes of Walmart, Target, Costco, and LensCrafter will do this for free.  If you are unsure or uncomfortable making adjustments, we recommend seeking professional assistance.

We also provide guidance on how to carefully adjust acetate frames at home using controlled heat. If you choose to do this yourself, please follow the instructions carefully https://www.swanwicksleep.com/pages/acetate. This is a simple process and there is little risk of damaging your glasses, however if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at [e-mail].
