Bezel plate

What is a bezel insert?

A “glasses insert” is the small part that connects the frame of the glasses to the end of the temples (spectacle temples) which rest on the nose. These pads are designed to hold the glasses in place on the nose and provide a comfortable fit. They can be made from different materials, such as silicone, PVC or other soft materials.

Nose pads can have different shapes and designs to fit different eyeglass frames and different nose types. Some may be adjustable to allow spectacle wearers to customize the fit to suit their body type.

In summary, nose pads are important elements in providing comfort and stability of glasses on the face, helping to maintain proper position on the wearer's nose.

What are the different possible bezel insert materials?

Eyeglass pads can be made from a variety of materials, each with their own benefits in terms of comfort, durability and aesthetics. Here are some of the materials commonly used for eyeglass nose pads:

1. Silicone : the silicone is supple, soft and comfortable in contact with the skin. Silicone nose pads can provide a good fit and are often used to minimize irritation and marks on the nose.

2. PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) : PVC is a durable and flexible plastic used to make affordable pads. It is hard wearing and can be shaped to fit the nose comfortably.

3. Acetate : Acetate is a quality plastic material used for spectacle frames. Acetate nose pads can be more aesthetic and durable, and they can match the frame of the glasses.

4. Titanium : titanium is a light and hypoallergenic material used for high-end frames. Titanium nose pads are durable and comfortable.

5. Metal : Metal nose pads, such as stainless steel, can be used for metal frames. They are durable and can be adjusted for optimal comfort.

6. Rubber : The rubber is soft and can provide good support without causing discomfort. Rubber pads are often used in sports frames.

7. Mousse : some pads are made of foam for maximum comfort. They can be used for sports goggles or to minimize pressure points.

There are other specific materials used in the eyewear industry, each with their own characteristics and benefits. The choice of material will depend on the type of frame, style of eyewear, and individual preferences for comfort and aesthetics.

Platelet glasses pain, what to do?

If eyeglass pads are causing you pain or discomfort, here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

1. Pad adjustment : If the nose pads are ill-fitting, they can put excessive pressure on your nose, which can lead to discomfort. Consult a professional optician to properly adjust the nose pads so that they comfortably fit the shape of your nose.
2. Softer materials If you find current pads harsh or irritating, consider upgrading to pads made from softer materials like silicone. These materials are designed to minimize skin irritation.
3. Adhesive pads : You can add adhesive gel or foam pads under the nose pads to create an extra layer of padding and reduce pressure on your nose.
4. Change pad style : Some eyeglass frames allow the nose pads to be changed for different styles and materials. If your current nose pads are uncomfortable, consider replacing them with a style that better suits your nose.
5. Consultation of a professional : If the pain persists despite the adjustments and measures taken, consult an optician or a vision health professional. They can assess the situation, diagnose the problem and recommend specific solutions.
6. Custom Glasses If you have specific comfort needs, consider having glasses custom made with nose pads tailored to your unique nose shape.

It is important to address any discomfort caused by eyeglass pads promptly, as unresolved issues can lead to skin irritations, headaches, and other visual problems. Do not hesitate to seek the help of a professional to find the best solution for your needs.
