I just got new glasses and they have been too loose since I got them befor the pandemic hit .. hoefullyall I I need to do is bend the arms a little better
I've been wearing glasses since 13 months old. Your video has changed my life. It took me 5 minutes to do 2 frames that the optometrist made worse trying to adjust. Now the both fit and I'm so happy to see and see comfortably. Thank you so much
This video was thoroughly helpful in solving my problem. It pointed out the exact fixes to adjust my glasses. I thought my problem had to do with the stems of my glasses but this video pointed out that my problem had to do with the bridge of the glasses. Thank you very much for that fix, because it worked perfectly. The only thing I think you can improve on is to use a hair drier in your video and not the professional machinery you have. I also heated my plastic frames for one minute in the areas that needed adjusting. If the give wasn't enough I would heat it for another minute. I also held it in the position that I wanted until the frame section cooled so that it couldn't bend out of place or slowly creep back into the position they were in. Thank you for the video. It was way beyond helpful.
All my life I have literally struggled with wearing any type of glasses whether sunglasses or eyeglasses... I think it’s because one of my ears is a little higher than the other, so EVERY SINGLE PAIR I have ever gotten-have ALWAYS been crooked. Until now. This is an awesome tutorial on how to adjust them in every way, very detailed, yet extremely simple that anyone could do it. Seriously. Thank you so so much.
Hello, I am glad you liked this video! It is so easy to adjust glasses to fit perfectly is you just know how. I am happy you adjusted your glasses, there is nothing worse than crooked glasses! Keep up the good work, and let me know if you have any questions. Eye Talk team
@@iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Hello there, it will not affect that, the PD and OC will still be in the same general position, unless the adjustment is extreme. But it also depends on where these points were originally measured.
Thank you for the excellent advice. I always thought they tightened screws somehow to make them fit better. I had to adjust my temple tips and that made a huge difference! I didn't have a heat machine or hair dryer so I held them under hot water for a minute or so and that did the trick. Thanks a million!
My glasses were sliding over my face mask. Wow, just completed the adjustments with my hairdryer. So pleased with the results. Thank you for posting this very helpful video. 👓
This just saved my life! I seriously thought I just wasted hundreds of dollars on a pair of glasses that didn’t fit and this easy trick solved my problem!
This video is the most accurate and best one I’ve found on RU-vid! I have to bend the sides with pliers. I’ve been putting my glasses in hot water and bending them in the middle 🤦🏽♀️ thank you for showing different types of areas that need to be bent helps a lot!
Thank you so much!! My glasses were a lot crooked but with your tutorial, I was finally able to fix them! Sadly, my other pair didn’t work. I’m of course trying again, since your tutorial actually worked. But thank you so much! All the other tutorials never worked, no matter how many tries I did.
Hello! I am excited you were able to adjust your glasses, to me there is nothing worse than when your glasses do not fit properly. I see alot of glasses “hacks” videos online, and I just have to sadly shake my head at most of them. Let me know if you have any other glasses related issues. Thank you for watching. Eye Talk team
Man, what a great idea for a show. I just spent approximately 100x's that today. But for the last month or so I've really been thinking about making my own pair. I'm already hooked!
Thanks for this video! Just picked up some new frames and adjusted them myself in a few minutes with a hairdryer. If you have one lens sitting lower than the other, adjust the low side's temple tip down and that will even them out.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I really did not want to have to plan a half day out just to get these adjusted. I did it in about 15 minutes! Thank you again!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much, I've had this problem for a while now, them constantly sliding down my face and I have quite poor vision so I need them everyday, this worked, I used my hair dryer, would definitely recommend! Thank you!
Im so glad you talked about curving the bridge. No other tutorial i looked at helped me with that in regards to my own pair, but this one did. Finally was able to fit them correctly after months of wearing loose glasses.
Hello! Glad to help, in my opinion every part of your glasses needs to be adjusted to get the perfect fit. Never settle for anything less than perfection when it comes to your vision or your frames! Let us know if you find yourself with any questions. Eye Talk team
Seriously thank you so much! This video was super helpful! My glasses never fit perfectly because I ordered them online but after watching this how to fix that they fit great now!
Life Saver, thats what this video is .I won't normally comment in YT, but for this i have to. I have 3 spectacles which were really loose and not it use and I really didn't bother to heat them with candles(don't have hairdryer) and it worked. Worked for all of them. Thanks a ton for this video.
I tried the hairdryer suggestion on high heat, but low. Worked really well. My glasses were slipping off my nose. I also used a pair of small needle nose pliers and covered the tips with rubber bands to keep it from scarring the plastic and gave good grip. Thanks for the tutorial, it worked well.
Thanks for the rubber band suggestion! I have a pair of pliers that I rubber coated the business end of, but of course I can’t find them when I need them. Now I don’t have to wait until they resurface. :)
Omg thank you for this video! My glasses feel brand new! I keep falling asleep with them on and I guess over time they got bent! I am fixing every pair of glasses that I own! Ok if you’re using a heat gun be very careful not to bend too much or too fast and not to heat too much or you will get wrinkles
Hello, I am glad that you found this video helpful, there are a lot of videos out there that are made by people who may not have enough experience, and some are just plain old wrong. Thank you for watching and good luck! Eye Talk team
I got new sunglasses not too long ago and they are already awfully loose. They adjusted them twice when I first got them so they would fit perfectly. I was told I had to bring them in if I needed them adjusted again. Since seeing your video I don't think that is the case. I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks for the helpful video!
Thank you so much for posting this video, It couldn't be explained easier than this! There are still some dumb people that can't figure it out how to put the glasses under a hair dryer since you were using "a professional tool"...
Wow! Thanks! Watching during COVID-19 and the optometrist isn’t allowed to do adjustments. Just did the bridge and much better! No more falling off when bend over!
Thank you so much!! I have been struggling to find a pair of glasses that look good and fit my large head properly. Tried so many on and Finally found a pair I really liked but they kept slipping down my nose. Took them in for an adjustment and they did bend the temples a bit but didn’t help much. I noticed the frames were pretty flat and arms bowed out a bit so tried bending the bridge and it worked!! Definitely going to need more than 10 seconds tho unless you have a super hot hair dryer. I put it on hot low and did it for about 2 minute. Repeat until you get the desired fit. Only thing you should consider is it may impact how your lenses fit. When I popped mine back in you can see a bit of the top of the lenses. BC realistically you are going to bend the frames where the lenses sit as well which may be more curved than the lenses themselves. It’s really nbd but If you are putting a big bend in your glasses (which you definitely should not be doing) then you might have issues. But if you’re bending them that much then you bought glasses that were too big to begin with.
Hello, thank you for watching. I am glad that you found this video helpful. I am glad that you get to use your Persols some more! Thank you. Eye Talk team
Thank you for this video! For the first time, I am planning on buying prescription glasses online, and I am switching from metal (with adjustable nosepads) to plastic frames (no pads). My current glasses are 48-17-135. The new ones I would like to buy are 49-15-135. So, smaller bridge, but when I tried them in store they slid anyway. I have a small face, so glasses sliding is a real concern for me. Do you think that going from my current specs to the new specs is doable, even if the glasses slid in store? I have a hard time finding out what would be an acceptable range of specs: can someone go from a 17 bridge to a 20, or from 17 to 15, for example? Thank you for any advice!
Thank you for watching! We really enjoy working with glasses and frames, and it is always nice to get feedback on our videos. Having worked in the optical space for a long time, i always assumed that everyone else doing the same had the knowledge that I do, but I guess there is always time for learning new tricks! Thank you again for your comment. Eye Talk team
I heated the plastic frames over my gas stove top burner. Held them about 10" over low heat for 8-10 seconds. Worked perfectly. Got the plastic nice and hot and was able to quickly remold the shape.
