Are you one of those fellows with perfect vision who wear spectacles, not to mention the healthy souls who pretend to use canes?

Alan Eardley said:If it keeps falling out you need to make sure that you have the correct size for your eye socket. Did you check that before buying it? Also, is it gated (a sort of ring behind the one that holds the lens) or ungated? Some people need a gate, others can't keep a gated glass in their eye. Finally, are you having to try hard to hold it in? It should fit naturally without any effort on your part, otherwise it will drop out every time you relax your eye muscles.

Nick D said:Alan,
Something I've always wondered, how do you determine the correct size for a monocle without a gallery, either with a frame or without? My current rimless monocle is 41 mm in diameter, and it stays in place well most of the time, but I'm not sure if it's fitting me correctly. I can keep it in without clamping down with my brow, but when I'm sweating slightly I find I can't keep in in without clamping down a little. I've thought of getting another in another size, maybe 37 mm, to see if it fits any better.
