This is a PERFECT example of what a how-to video should be. It shows me how to do something I need to do and fix something that has been irritating me. It doesn't preach at me that I shouldn't try to do it myself. It apparently assumes that I am an adult (imagine!) and am willing to take the risks inherent in doing it. And it doesn't have a huge four-minute introduction, it gets right to the point. Thank you so much!
I Thumbs down because you didn't say whether or not to leave the lenses on when you do heat. What happens if the heat damages anti reflective anti glare scratch resistant transitions coating? Thanks for not answering that LOL
@@johnthemann6483 I have a pair with anti glare lenses that needed the frame adjusting. I was there with the optician heated the frame and made the adjustments the lenses where never removed.
Winner of a video, I've been looking for "specsavers ultra clear superclean review" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Rayemiron Uncommunicative Release - (do a search on google ) ? It is a good exclusive guide for discovering how to improve your eyesight naturally minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin got great success with it.
I've had glasses about 2 years and I finally decided to look for instructions on how to adjust them! Thank you for your clear and concise explanations - very good! Well Done!
Thank you, Troy! I've been heating and bending (inward) the far ends of the bows, and couldn't understand why the fix didn't stay put. And here you explained it, so now I know. You also explained the correct way to bring the bows inward. I'm going to do that right now. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this great video! I went to the optometrist today where my son got his glasses 2 years ago, since I refused to make an appointment they told me they would charge me $15 to adjust them!! Needless to say they just lost 4 customers.
Thank you. The first trick worked. I didn't had to heat anything. Just slightly pushed a pressure and I then kept shades on table and it aligned perfectly. Liked!
Today, this is the greatest RU-vid video of all time. I ordered some new glasses online on a year old prescription. And I completely forgot that the frames need adjusting around my ears. After stressing out for an hour regarding how to solve my problem, I thought, try RU-vid (You idiot)!! And wallah. Hair dryer does the trick??? Such a simple thing that I would have never thought about. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just adjusted my brand new sunglasses which were sitting too high on my face with this tutorial. Perfect instrument to use for that which I have is a surgical scissor like clamp with a long nose. It gets right inside the small curve.
Thank you to who made this video.. my glasses were crooked and I couldn’t figure out why here it was the arm piece.. saved me a trip to get them fixed! And I did it myself was afraid I was gonna break them though
Thank you so much. I just received my new glasses from the VA hospital & was told I'd need to take them to be asjusted. I will use your information to try myself.
Most fantastic ! A superb demonstration and narrative of how to adjust one’s eyewear. Someone should plug you in to s local television producer. Nice work!
First time watching a tutorial where the guy didn't tell me to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell I appreciate that so much I think I'm gonna like, subscribe, & hit the notification bell
thank you, Troy, for demonstrating these great tips! so easy to understand. i always have the problem of crooked glasses. the optical place adjusts them for me but i swear 3 hours later, they're crooked again. I'd probably have to live at the optical place to get them just right. i have brand new glasses so I want to adjust them correctly, myself, this time. i never knew about using the needlenose pliers too on the metal part. can't say thank you enough!!!!
This is great but I would like to know how to do the last adjustment that you mention - it would be helpful to see a demonstration as that one looks more tricky to do
My biggest complaint of plastic frames is that you always have to heat them up to adjust them. If you induce too much heat on the lenses, you risk damaging the lenses coatings.
My frame was not sitting properly even though was fixed couple of times where I bought it,you showed how to check if your glasses are crooked mine was I fix it thanks 👍
I think you forgot to mention that if you heat the poly-carbonate glass you will damage it, so better to cover the glass with aluminum paper or wet sheet to avoid heat directly on it.
I have really high prescription, and my lens were specially made. I think polycarbonate. . I just need to adjust the part behind the ear. It's slightly too tight.
Thanks for the video. I have wondered why the temples are adjusted on the bench and set to touch the surface at once. That sort of presumes one's ears are perfectly aligned parallel to the eye line, but it seems to me that the ears are not perfectly aligned, but that one is higher than the other.
If your ears are unbalanced, one of your temples will be sitting higher than the other. The problem with the bench alignment is that it assumes that your ears are symmetrical when in fact they are not.
Excellent explanations, although the problem I have is not covered--the top of my lens is touching my eyebrow area, so it gets oily easily. I'm guessing I bend the temple downward, but not sure.
This is informative but it would be nice to know how a lens should sit in reference to the pupil for the best vision. For example, I wear a progressive lens so my lenses need to sit on my face a certain way in order to make the lenses perform the way they should. So, some instruction on how to adjust frames to get the lenses to sit 'just so' would be helpful.
Last part of the video to bring temples in. how can you do this on nike flexon glasses? i have them and they are always sliding off my face. The temples are way to far apart. Thanks for any help. This video is awesome too
Dear Ehowealth, I have a problem, one of my glasses' temples are too narrow while the other one is fitting perfectly. Basically, the narrow temple feels like it hugs the back of my ears so tight it doesn't feel very comfortable at all. Also, one temple that is too narrow is very straight. Can you give me a help out of it? P.S: It's a metal frame
my problem is when the glasses are on my face one side (usually the right frame) is sticking out much further than the left one. i'm constantly having to push adjust the right side in but then it feels very uncomfortable. i'm thinking it's a nosepad problem that needs to be adjusted but they seem fine to me.
I tried the heat method to bend out the temple tips on my TR60 glasses because they pinch behind my ears, but they didn't budge a mm. Is there some trick to adjusting TR60 frames?
1:46 I have a weird issue here. I have adjuseted my glasses so they aren't crooked, but I think that both my eyebrows and ears are misaligned so it looks like my glasses are crooked.
You need a facial adjustment. Just blow a hot hair dryer in your face for 10-15 minutes and then form your now pliable face to any look you want and wait for it to cool. Congrats!! You now have a new face :)
if i usually require a bit of curving the back end of my glasses (smaller face) would wire/metal frames be ok? i usually wear plastic but want to try the other kind of style with notepads and such. but I'm wonder the entire arms on a metal frame is adjustable. or if its just the very end thats adjustable. Also I have an astigmatism.. and wondering if the glass will look too thick on wire frame?
