Clip-on lenses are a practical solution for adding blue light protection or sun protection to your existing eyewear. However, like any accessory, they can sometimes present a few challenges. In this post, we’ll address some of the most common issues with clip-on glasses and offer practical solutions to enhance your experience.

Problem 1: Clip-On Glasses Touch the Nose

              

Solution:

• Adjust the Positioning: Try sliding the clip-ons higher on your glasses to prevent them from resting on your nose. Adjusting the angle can also help.
• Use Cushion Pads: Adhesive nose pads can provide a buffer between your nose and the clip-ons, reducing discomfort.
• Opt for Different Design Clip: Consider clip-ons with flip-up options that might sit differently on your glasses. You can try Vyzia Flip-up Clip-on Glasses

Problem 2: The Rubber Legs Fall Off the Clip

The small rubber pads on the clip-ons’ legs can sometimes come loose or fall off, leading to less secure attachment and potential scratches on your glasses.

Solution:

• Secure with Adhesive: Use a small amount of clear adhesive to reattach the rubber pads securely. Be careful not to use too much, as it could spread to other parts of the clip-on.
• Replace with New Pads: If the rubber legs are lost or too worn, Vyzia provides extra rubber pads in every unit sold that can be easily attached.
• Preventive Maintenance: Regularly check the condition of the rubber legs to catch any signs of wear before they fall off.

Problem 3: The Screw that Attaches the Clip and Lenses Unscrews

Another issue is that the small screws holding the clip-ons together can loosen over time, potentially causing the lenses to detach.

Solution:

• Tighten Regularly: Make it a habit to periodically check and tighten the screws on your clip-ons with a small screwdriver. Ensure not to over tighten
• Replacement Parts: If a screw is lost, replacement screws are often available at eyewear stores or online.

Problem 4: Some People Don’t Like the Orange Tint of Blue Light Clip-Ons

While orange-tinted lenses are effective at blocking blue light, some people find the color distortion bothersome. "Healthy Food Doesn't Taste Good" Mhmm!

• Alternative Tints: Some blue light lenses are available in a lighter, yellow tint that still offers protection but with less color distortion. You can try Vyzia (Active) yellow tinted clip-on. Consider trying these if the orange tint is too strong for your liking, however it takes about one to two weeks to fully adapt to the orange tint. 
• Use Only When Necessary: If the tint bothers you during daytime use, consider using the clip-ons only in the evening when blue light exposure is most disruptive to your sleep. 

Conclusion

While clip-on glasses offer a convenient way to add protection to your eyewear, they can sometimes present minor challenges. Fortunately, with a few simple adjustments and preventive measures, you can address these issues and enjoy the full benefits of your clip-ons without discomfort. Whether it’s adjusting the fit, securing loose components, or finding the right tint for your needs, these solutions can help ensure your clip-ons work for you.
