I posted a couple of months ago about having a problem with my nose pads marking my nose. I think I found the problem, my temples are too short. The bend is supposed to start just over the ear, mine starts before. I bought frames with 140 temple arms because that is what I had before with plastic frames without nose pads because they seemed to feel fine. Apparently it's more of an issue with nose pad frames.
The 140 temple arms work fine for me on non nosepad frames, even though the bend isn't quite where it should be, but on nosepad frames, it's a problem. I was able to bend the temples so the bend isn't quite where it was before, and it has really helped. Hasn't solved the problem completely, but it has helped. Next time I should buy longer temple arms I guess. The lesson here is when using the measurements on a frame you own already to buy a new frame, the same style frame is important because as I discovered, 140 temples are fine for me on plastic non-nosepad frames, but not on nosepad frames. Now I just need to figure out the length that will work for me. The pitfalls of online glasses. RedStickHam -- Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
