Dry eye glasses fitting guide

To achieve the optimum fit, it is important to consider the curvature of your eyebrow bone and cheek bone. The anatomy and size of your face are the main factors to be considered on how the eyecup will offer a complete seal around your eyes.

Read our size guide to help chose an initial model and it might be necessary to buy more than one pair initially to ensure you achieve the best fit. You are looking for something that sits comfortably on the nose with a close fit to the brow and cheek bones. It will not make a 'seal' but should be close fitting.

As we have two ranges and a selection of styles. there is plenty of scope for something to fit the majority of face shapes. Once you have found the best model fine tuning can be achieved by adjusting the sides and, in the case of Ziena models, nose pads.

The Kai, Marina, Nereus, Panhead and Ventus, feature adjustable sides that can be bent over the ears so you can get the best fit. Bend just the rubber tip, do not bend at the intersection between the rubber and the hard plastic of the side.

The Briza, Cape, Chubasco, Churada and Oasis do not have sides designed to be bent around the ears yourself. They will require gentle heat to make them soft enough to bend (we suggest asking your optician). Or you can use the ear grippers.

The Cape also has extendable sides for further adjustment.

Generally, the closer the fit to your face the greater the relief you will get.
