This is a question about frames rather than lenses, so I hope it's OT. I'm having trouble adjusting to a new pair of glasses because they sit too high up my face so the bottom of my field of vision is too restricted. The standard 18mm bridge is a little too narrow for my nose really, but another factor is that the nose pads are positioned low relative to the lenses. I asked my optician if that could be changed by repositioning the curve in the nose-piece stalks (ie like changing an inverted U into an inverted J). I'm not sure if she understood, because first she tried to widen the angle of the existing curve. Then I drew a diagram and she still seemed a bit vague about what I wanted, but she just said it would be impossible. Does that sound reasonable? I would have thought this could be done without stressing the metal so much it would break, but I'm not 100% sure, and I don't think I've got adequate tools to do a good job of it myself if it is possible. Have any opticians/technicians here ever performed that sort of adjustment?
