What issue is reduced by proper frame fit?

Explanation:
When glasses fit well, pressure points on the skin are minimized and the frame sits comfortably across the nose, on the bridge, and behind the ears. If a frame is misfit—too tight, too loose, or uneven—the skin is constantly rubbed and pressed, which creates red marks, irritation, and even small skin breaks. Proper frame fitting distributes pressure evenly, avoids hotspots, and keeps the frame in place without pinching, so those skin problems are reduced. Other issues like blurry peripheral vision come from how the lenses are oriented and centered relative to your eyes, not from skin contact; vibrations relate more to how securely the frame sits and moves, and nose bridge occlusion isn’t what proper fit primarily addresses.
