Detailed Instructions
- Preparation:
- Hold your glasses securely to prevent them from slipping.
- Turn the glasses upside down so that the nose pads are facing up. This position provides better access and visibility.
- Positioning Your Thumb:
- Place your thumb behind the pad arm of the nose pad you want to remove.
- Your thumb acts as a support and helps to stabilize the nose pad during removal.
- Inserting the Flat Object:
- Take a flat object, such as a butter knife.
- Carefully insert the flat edge of the knife between the nose pad and your thumb. Ensure the knife is positioned to apply leverage against the snap-in mechanism.
- Removing the Nose Pad:
- Gently twist the knife. The twisting motion should apply enough pressure to release the nose pad from its snap-in mount.
- Be careful not to apply excessive force, which could damage the glasses or the nose pad arm.
