    I just recently had an industrial piercing done and actually had to remove it before it even got to heal for this very reason. The piercer placed the top ball too close to my head and therefore my glasses were sitting right on it. The pain caused by the glasses rubbing on it was excruciating. I only had it in for a week, and I'm planning on getting it re-pierced at a better angle for glasses after the original holes heal up. At this point, I really don't know what to say except you should discuss this with your piercer and if you don't feel comfortable discussing it with he or she, then go to another piercer that you trust and get their opinion. After having your piercing in for 4 months already, it should not be hurting you so bad. Perhaps a new piercing at a new angle would work better for you as well. Good luck and God Bless!
