? For those who wear glasses

My glasses 🤓 are leaving black marks on my nose

I went into opticians on Saturday and they adjusted my glasses and changed the nose pads but it’s no better 😳 any ideas what’s going on?

Sounds like they’re still too tight? Are they built in nose pads or those ones on stems?

Are they new frames? Perhaps the frames are too small?

They are on stems

have you changed face cream, toner or cleanser recently that could affect area? something reacting with metal bits on nose pieces?

This is what I was thinking if they’re on stems, they tarnish sometimes and leave stains. My moisturiser (I’m man enough to admit I use it) caused this on my old glasses, I changed to all plastic and no problems now

No it’s all the same! I am totally confused as what is going on 😀

Have you tried putting a coat of clear nail varnish on the pads? It will provide a barrier between the pads and your nose.
