Spring hinge glasses repair (How to fix) @ Eyejoa Optical 

You saved me from having to leave the house half-blind during the pandemic, almost a literal life-saver. Thank you.

I was doing wires and paperclips and I spent close to an hour and still no repair, ran into your video, I was up and running in less than 5 minutes, thank you for uploading this great video.

Great but I need my glasses to see how to fix my glasses.

I fixed my friends glasses, and my $300.00 glasses in less than 15 minutes thanks to your video. Thanks for sharing your video.

Omggg i spent literally 2 hours trying to put the screw back in half blind lol😂 and all i had to do was pill the hinge, in less than 2 mins it was fixed sweat😅 thank you so much!!!! Saved my night!

I was trying to figure out why the heck the screw wasn't going in. I tried everything. 3hrs trying to repair and nothing. Came across you video and fixed it in 10mins. Thanks so much

Thank you very much for this tip! I owe a pair of Vuarnet's and I had this issue that I didn't knew how to address, because the spring was hidden inside and it was very hard accessible. Thanks to you, I fixed them and can now enjoy sunsets and day time walks and drives ones again! ☺

Bless you! I spent four hours trying to fix my glasses. I didn’t realize I had to pull the spring out! It took me another couple of hours, but I was finally able to get that ridiculously tiny screw back in. Thank you!

I was tearing my hair out trying to get the screw back in until I came across your video. Thank you so much

Stacy…. you dear are the bomb diggity. I had no idea how I was going to get those holes to align properly. You just saved the day.. all these years later.

I've been an optician for 28 years, and for the last 20 years, I've been perfecting this particular technique. Even though she said the glasses were fixed, I noticed the screw wasn't fully tightened-something only an experienced optician would catch. But you got the right idea . If anyone needs help or have any questions . reach out .

A really neat trick - saved me a lot of head scratching - thanks! If you bend the paper clip into a U shape so that it fits snugly over the temple it will stay in place while you put the screw in.

OMG! I've been spending so much time trying to put the screw in and after watching your video, I realized that the arm is a spring arm like the one shown in the video. I'm only 43 and my hand shakes. I think it's because I've been trying to do this so long that now the stress is making my hand shake more. It's good to see that even a professional struggles to get that tiny screw to go in. I'm going to try your technique, right now, and come back to let you know how I did.

Thank You very much! I got as far as finding out my glasses had a spring clip but couldn't get the screw holes to align. Your paperclip trick worked!

My glasses don’t have a thing for the paper clip to align onto. A couple of people I noticed in the comments have the same situation. But there was a gap created in the back of the little steel plate, when I pulled it with the aligator plier. It is in that gap that I managed to insert the end of a paper clip. I find out first that the holes didn't line up before your video. But the paper clip got me to experiment to finally got these holes to line up. Just that you need a second person to insert the tip of the clip, when your two hands are busy pulling that little springed steel. Thanks for your video, which got me to experiment with a paper clip with success!

Wow would had never guessed it had a spring lol finally gave up and came to RU-vid you can also use a clip to pull then use another to hold it.

Damn! You just made my day! I have been trying to fix my glasses for a few days and, with your tip, i did it in 5 minutes! Thank you so much!

Thank you for the video. It was good to see you have just as much trouble aligning the screw as I do!

THANK YOU! WORKED PERFECTLY. WAS TRYING MY OWN WAY FOR NEARLY AN HOUR.. THIS VIDEO HELPED ME FIX IT IN 20 MINUTES.

Thank you lovely lady. Simple, but very effective. Saved me trip to optician.

I'd spent a good 20 minutes with no success. Tried the paperclip tip and fixed in a few minutes. Thank you.

THANK YOU!!! I was finally able to fix my son's glasses late at night thanks to your video

omg, this video was genius, thank you - I have been struggling with fixing this for a couple days and refused to pay to get it repaired. This was a great tip!

Great advice with the paperclip. Worked differently on my frame, but worked well. Thank you.

Thanks, this was very helpful hack. I watched many videos but nobody shown this trick to put pin and hold the spring. Thanks for sharing this video 😊

Excellent video. Even kept all the frustrating bits in. Just have to fix my own now.

It too my husband to help me, but I did it. Thank you so much. I thought I would have to get rid of my favorite glasses. ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much ! Was frustrated because the screw wouldn’t align. Was cussing everyone at home. Going to try this out !

Thank you so much for the paper-clip tip. The optician I visited messed up my glasses and thanks to this video, I could fix it on my own!

Thank You. Couldn`t figure out how to repair my glasses . Fixed in 5 minutes after watching this. 👍

Thank you so much, I have tried repeatedly to fix the eyeglasses growers, but I was only able to do that after I watched your video, thanks a lot again.

Thank you !! I was going crazy and would need to ship it to the US to get it fix. So thank you so much :D

I was doing exactly what you was doing with the paperclip it wasn't working but then I clicked onto this video bada-bing bada-boom boom I'm brand new once again good job young lady

Thanks for the hints. I wasted over an hour trying to put the screw back in. With the tips, it took less than 2 minutes

Thank you very, very much. I was beginning to get frustrated. Your video was wonderful!

Fixed my son's glasses using this trick -- thank you!!!

I was trying to fix my son's glass with the same problem. thank you for the video. now its time to operate.

Thank you so much for the tutorial! Used a staple instead of a paperclip and it worked well!

Very helpful. Was able to fix my glasses after almost giving up

Thank you I was able to swap an arm and continue using my favorite pair of glasses.

Great video, very useful. I fixed my daughters glasses. I used a rubber band to fix the paper clit to it didnt move. Thanks.

I just struggled the hard way, but I got the screw in. However, I will try this way next time if this happens again. Thank You!!!

Thank you so much for this excellent tip! I was able to get the screw back into my glasses!! :)

Thankyou for putting this up, it was really helpful. RU-vid is wonderful!

I have EXACTLY the same problem!! But I just can't get the paper clip to stay put. I admire her persistence.

Thank you .I can fix 2 glasses! I could not put the screw into the hinge without watching the clip ! :))

Absolutely loved this video!!!! it was so very helpful!!!! 1,000 thumbs up!

Fantastic. Thanks for this. I have now fixed my sunglasses.

Thank you so much!!! Took us soo long to fix my glasses but I finally stumbled upon this video and we finally aligned the holes and got the screw in. Thanks again, very helpful video! 감사합니다!

very good video^ ^

Thank You SO MUCH!!! Your video saved me a ton tonight! I can’t thank you enough!!!

This worked great. Much easier than other solutions I saw. Thanks so much.

Such patience. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you for uploading this useful video, you made my day

Thanks! Mine's a bit different - flush side so can't put a clip like this, but sticking in a small wire perpendicular did the trick. Didn't realise there's a spring hidden in there but it makes all the sense.

Omfg I literally spent a lot of money to fix this. Thanks a lot; since i m in lockdown rn u have no idea how much this has helped me ....

This saved me a trip to the optician - I will never buy another pair of glasses like this! Thanks for your help.

Thank you for sharing this information, much appreciated.

Great help; I fixed my glasses very easily!

Thank you so much Ma'am 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏 you saved me. 💕

Thank you!!! Very helpful during pandemic times.

Thank you for your beautiful and helpful video - Saved me a lot of expense

This is why I love RU-vid! 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'm glad that you didn't edit it to make it look easy. She needs to be charging more for her craft, just wait until after she fixes my glasses until she raises her rates 😜

thanks for the help almost took me an hour to put one in but with your help it took 2 mins to put in

The paperclip is a very good hack and solved my problem immediately

Great video, I really appreciated this, thanks!

Thanks for showing me. Very helpful.

this is awesome.. I tried so many things trying to get the holes to align .. feel so dumb right now.. didn't know had to pull the spring.. 😂😂.. thanks for the video .. will try it later..

Thank you this video was very helpful. 😊👌

Life saver video for me at this pandemic 😷, Thank you 🙏

I had no idea it has a spring in that spot. I just saw it wouldn’t reach the other hole but didn’t know why. Now I was able to get the screw back in. I tried the paper clip but it kept falling out. So I used a flat blade precision screwdriver in the same slot and used the flat blade to push with to realign with the other hole. It’s much easier than trying to keep the paper clip in. Just be careful because a slip could scratch the lens.

Thank you for this video... you save me hours of frustration

An easier way would be to place the temple into the frame and take a push pin and insert through the screw hole, pry the spring apart enough to place another pin in between where, in the video, she is trying to place the paper clip (a pin or screw with a thickness of approx. 1.5mm), remove the pin from screw hole and insert screw. Although the type of spring hinge shown in video is very common, it's not the same for every pair.

Thank you for making this video!

Thank you so much....!!! You saved the day!!

Tqu so mch!!! I was breaking my head to fix more than 1 hr..i dint know tat is spring type..

Excellent! 2 minute fix. Thank you.

Shows it's actually very hard to do even if you have a lot of experience

This worked great for me, thank you!

Thank you so much it! This really helped me

The question is how did I manage to put a toothpick several times on the screw place (play basketball a lot) WITHOUT pulling this 2:18 😂😂😂 thank you for being able too see the ball coming

Five pair of broken glasses.found this. Here I go to try!

I usual find fixing screw in spring temple, used to be night mare, later l realized one can keep even small screw between hinges and use U-pin to open up the hinges, easier than using pliers to pull it

Thank you for the video great help 😀 👍

Instead of needle nose pliers use a pair of small tweezers, much easier to work with for reinstalling the temple screw. Or take some type of sticky putty and put a little on the screwdriver to hold the screw to the screwdriver while you insert it into the screw hole.

Man thank you I been literally for months trying to put my arm back on but it JUST WOULD NOT LINE UP IM SO BAFFLED THANK YOU VER MUCH!! cause it is ABOUT TO GO DOWN right now to put it on lol ima be able to see again yay give me a like for my excitement

excellent demonstration!

Great Job! はい!

This is really tricky. My glasses has really stiff springs and no catch to hold the eye in place, so I succeeded by threading a very thin screwdriver through from underneath and bend it into alignment before dropping the screw in from the top. And yes - at one time the screw snapped away from my tweezers, but I was lucky and found it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU’RE THE BEST😁😁😁

this video helped me. thank you

Thank you so much,you saved my day. Aloha

Thanks for that fixed in 7 minutes however I had to use thinner wire .

Perfect, exactly correct, thanks for the video.

Very helpful, worked for me.

Thanks to you we do not have to buy a new pair of glasses. Therefore, if you add up the total number of people who have seen this video and multiply it by $ 75 dollars that costs a pair of new glasses, thanks to you we have saved an average of $ 6, 775, 575 dollars. Thank you so much and God Bless you!

thank you!!!! fixed dad's glasses :)
