Nose marks from glasses are something most of us deal with at some point. They appear after a long day of reading, working, or simply wearing a pair that presses a little more than necessary. The positive side? They’re almost always easy to prevent with the right frame material, a better fit, or a few small adjustments.

Marks form when the glasses place too much weight or pressure on the bridge of the nose. This can happen if the frame is slightly too heavy, if the temples are too tight, or if the nose bridge doesn’t match your facial shape. Slipping can also play a role — when glasses slide down, we instinctively push them back up from the bridge, which increases pressure again. And for some people, naturally sensitive skin just shows marks a little quicker.

Lightweight materials help prevent pressure on the nose, especially if you wear readers all day. Frames made from TR90 or stainless steel sit comfortably and reduce the risk of marks, while acetate offers a classic feel with balanced weight. All Luxreaders frames use lightweight CA lenses to keep total weight down.

Choosing glasses that feel good on your face is just as important as choosing a style you love. A well-fitting pair should sit naturally, stay in place, and feel balanced throughout the day — no pinching, no slipping. Simple habits help too: adjusting the temples slightly, cleaning the nose pads regularly, and storing your glasses carefully so they keep their shape. With the right fit and care, your glasses become something you forget you’re even wearing.
