Piercing and Glasses: How to Avoid Irritation?

Piercing and glasses

Why can glasses and piercings be problematic?

The main problem is proximity. Glasses often rest right next to or directly on the pierced area, which can cause friction or continuous pressure. The result? Irritation, discomfort, and even delayed healing. And when you've just had your piercing, the last thing you want is a complication!

Our advice for peaceful cohabitation

1. Choose the placement of your piercing carefully

Before you even take action, consider talking to your piercer. If you wear glasses, it's essential to find a placement that minimizes interaction. For example:

  • A nose piercing placed slightly higher or lower to avoid the bridge of glasses.
  • A piercing in the eyebrow, strategically positioned to avoid any friction with the arms or edges of the frames and to not be hidden by them.
  • A bridge piercing, placed slightly higher than usual, will prevent friction with the frames of your glasses.

A good piercer will know how to adapt the placement according to your needs and your morphology and according to your glasses.

2. Adjust your glasses

There's no point sacrificing comfort or style. If your glasses are putting too much pressure on your piercing:

  • Adjust the temples : An optician can slightly adjust your glasses so they don't rub.
  • Change your frames : Opt for lighter glasses or frames without a bulky bridge, especially if you've just had your nose pierced.

3. Piercing jewelry makes a difference

During healing, opt for minimalist jewelry, with short bars or thin rings. These jewelry reduce the risk of snagging with the arms of glasses. Make sure they are made ofhypoallergenic materials such as titanium or niobium to avoid aggravating irritation. Helix piercing jewelry as well as conch piercing jewelry can also be a source of snagging, depending on your choices.

4. Adopt a rigorous skincare routine

Irritation can occur if bacteria builds up on your glasses or around your piercing. Here are some simple rules:

  • Clean your glasses regularly with a suitable solution to avoid any transfer of dirt.
  • Maintain your piercing : Use saline solution to clean the area twice a day, especially if it has come into contact with the arms of your glasses.
  • Avoid touching! The less you handle your piercing, the better.

Warning signs to watch for

Even with all the precautions in the world, it is important to remain vigilant. Here are some signs that should prompt you to take action:

  • Persistent redness or swelling : This may indicate irritation or the beginning of an infection .
  • Increased pain or localized warmth : If this persists, it is best to consult your piercer or a healthcare professional.
  • Unusual discharge : Some lymph (clear fluid) is normal, but yellow or greenish discharge requires immediate attention.

Testimony: A story of well-managed glasses and piercings

“ When I got my nose piercing, I was afraid that my glasses would cause problems. My piercer placed the jewel slightly higher to avoid the bridge of my glasses. I also adjusted my arms at the optician, and honestly, I had no problems. With a little adaptation, glasses and piercing coexist very well! ” – Léa.

Conclusion

Wearing glasses and proudly showing off a piercing is entirely possible, with a little preparation and a lot of care. Whether it's adjusting your glasses, choosing the right placement or adopting an impeccable cleaning routine, the solutions are at hand. When in doubt, don't hesitate to consult your piercer: they are there to accompany you in this stylistic adventure!

Note: Very few piercings are truly problematic for eyeglass wearers. And even those that can cause some problems are still completely doable with a competent piercer who knows what they are doing. Here are the main ones concerned:

  • The bridge : This piercing, located between the eyes on the upper part of the nose, can sometimes be in conflict with the frame of the glasses. But don't panic: a good piercer will take the time to check the positioning of your glasses and will adjust the pose so that everything coexists in perfect harmony.
  • The high nostril : Placed higher on the nose than the classic nostril piercing, it can bother some frames. Here again, an experienced piercer will know how to adapt to avoid any friction or discomfort.
  • The conch : This piercing, in the center of the ear, can cross paths with the arms of glasses. But with thoughtful placement and adapted to your accessories, there is no reason for this to become a problem.

The key word: choose a piercer who knows his job and who will take the time to analyze your body shape, your glasses style and your desires. With a professional, even slightly delicate piercings can become a reality without any embarrassment. In the end, glasses and piercings can perfectly coexist – you just need to surround yourself with the right people and prepare your project well!
