Question : An optician used an air can to remove debris from my eyeglasses between the frames and lens, the pressurized blast of air from air can left some white powder on the nose bridge of my glasses, then the optician used the air can again to remove the powder with blast/spray of pressurized air, if any white powder is within the frame such as in nose bridge of frame or lens can that cause any flattening or any lengthening of face or facial bones from the weight of the powder in eyeglasses when wearing the glasses?
