The Importance of Proper Fitting and Adjustments for Your Eyewear

At MEGANE Elevated Optical in Costa Mesa, we believe that eyewear should do more than just correct your vision, it should feel like it was made for you. The truth is, even the most beautifully designed frames won’t serve you well without the right fit. Proper frame fitting is essential not only for comfort, but also for function, durability, and long-term eye health.

In this blog, we’ll share why fit matters, how it affects your daily experience, and what makes MEGANE’s fitting process different from a typical optical store.

Why Eyewear Fit Matters More Than You Think

When your glasses fit properly, they disappear from your awareness. You’re not pushing them back up your nose or dealing with pressure behind your ears. Instead, they move with you, sit balanced, and let you focus on your day, not your frames.

Poorly fitted eyewear can cause:

- Headaches and eye strain
- Slipping or sliding down your nose
- Distorted vision through misaligned lenses
- Long-term discomfort that discourages regular use

Even a perfectly accurate prescription can feel “off” if the lenses don’t align with your visual axis. That’s why precise adjustment is essential, especially if you’ve recently had an eye exam and are trying a new prescription. After your annual eye exam, even small shifts in lens positioning can affect clarity and comfort especially with complex prescriptions lenses.

How MEGANE Approaches Frame Fitting

At MEGANE, frame fitting is never rushed. As a boutique optical space, we take the time to understand your unique features: nose bridge height, temple width, ear and brow positioning, and more. This is especially important for our clients who wear progressive lenses or custom lens designs, where even millimeter shifts can impact clarity.

That’s why every frame fitting at MEGANE is tailored to your exact facial structure and lifestyle.

When you try on eyewear in our Costa Mesa boutique, we assess:

- Nose pad comfort and balance
- Temple alignment and behind-the-ear pressure
- Lens positioning relative to your pupils
- Frame stability during movement
- Face shape compatibility and proportional balance

We also consider how you wear your eyewear: Do you switch between sunglasses and optical frames throughout the day? Are you seated at a screen for hours, or constantly on the move, in-door to out-doors? These factors help us personalize the best lens & fit for your daily life.

Adjustments, Always Welcome

Whether you purchased your glasses from MEGANE or not, we welcome clients from Costa Mesa, Irvine, and nearby areas for professional adjustments. A quick visit can bring relief, improved clarity, and a longer life for your eyewear.

As a true boutique optical destination, we prioritize service and education not just sales. That means offering expert adjustments, realignments, and thoughtful guidance whenever you need it.

It’s Not Just Fit, It’s Feeling

When your frames are properly fitted, they don’t just function better, they feel better. They become part of how you present yourself, how you engage with the world. At MEGANE, we want every pair of glasses to reflect your personality, support your vision, and fit with precision.

Whether you're visiting us after a recent eye exam or simply need your current frames adjusted, our team is here to help you feel confident and comfortable every day.
