Ochis are very special glasses that you can actually adjust to fit your face shape. To make them fit like a glove, you don’t have to take them to the optician — simply follow a couple of easy steps (they are also included in your parcel).

How can I make Ochis fit my face shape?

If you want the frames to fit your face perfectly, you can adjust the temples. In order to do that, we recommend you to heat the temples to a temperature of no more than 55°С/146°F. You can do that by using a simple hairdryer. 

After you’ve heated the temples:

a) put four fingers on the curve of the temple (as shown in the picture above);

b) apply slight pressure and bend the curve to fit your ears.

Please don’t attempt to bend any other parts of the frames — the front part of the glasses is not meant to endure forceful bending. We want Ochis to serve you for many years to come! 

What should I do if my Ochis became distorted or uneven?

Don’t worry! Our material is extremely user-friendly. Just slightly heat up the front part of the frames from above avoiding the lenses as much as possible. You can do that with your hairdryer, but make sure to stick to a temperature of 55C°. Then put your Ochis on an even surface and they will straighten out on their own!

Can my lenses be installed/replaced by my local optician?
If you wish to install them at your local optical store, you can easily do so, but we highly recommend that you let us do the job. Ochis aren’t your usual glasses, so there are some important rules to follow when installing new lenses. We know our material the best and will make sure that everything is done with the most attention to detail.

If you still choose to install them wherever else, make sure to always show these instructions to your optician to feel safe and sound. 

To avoid frame damage, follow these steps:
1. Remove the lenses from the glasses by applying slight pressure.
2. When scanning the frame, attentively choose the measure of reducing the lens diameter depending on the type of lens you are installing. The bigger the lens diopter is, the more you should reduce it.
3. After the lenses have been cut out, slightly heat the frame (to a temperature of no more than 55°C/146°F). Don’t let the frames overheat — it may lead to cracks forming in the material.
4. Install the new lenses by gradually applying pressure across the lens perimeter. This should be done accurately, without extensive pressure against the frames.
