Need help with adjusting your frame at home? Check out some tips here with Ivan to help widen or narrow your glasses! Warning: Please be careful when using extremely hot water & certain lens coatings
This was exactly what I needed! My new glasses were too loose, so I went back and had them tightened at the shop. However, when I got home and wore them for a while, I felt that they were then too tight. I was embarrassed to go back once more to the shop, so this video was just what I needed. Thanks so much!
Just got my first designer pair and widened them using this method without heat but ever SO slightly adjusted them and it is perfect! Exactly what I needed. Thank you. Those inner wires inside plastic frames do adjust to slight pressure and stay where you want them.
Duuude!!! This video is a lifesaver! I kept ordering frames online and turned out all 3 frames were bent inward at the center. Stretch them out. Problem solved. They now fit like a glove. Gracias!
I tend to buy cheap glasses online a lot, and they’re often a bit wonky-shaped or too tight. This is such a good tutorial for how to fix them. Thanks so much!
this is so helpful! knowing that I can see how the glasses fit and adjust them as needed rather than worrying about going back and forth to the doctor's office is such a relief. thank you
This video is exactly what I needed! My frames were too tight along the sides of my face, and this is the only video that I could find for adjusting it at home! My boyfriend had to do it for me, though, because I was too scared I would break them! 😅 Thanks so much for the excellent tutorial!
Omg I wish my bf wasn’t out of state rn cuz that’s exactly what I told him, too! I’m too scared to do it myself! LOL. Sometimes you just need some giant man hands, right?! Haha. Glad it worked for you. Wish me luck! 😖
you r a rockstar. My glass frame became loose (slept with it) and was annoying me. came across your video. thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge.
WOW Thank you so much this is the best tip video made about how to make your glasses loose l have been wearing them since l was 5 and until now l always sulfured from miss fit glasses and as l watched this video l was relived from my pain of side tightness which l felt pressure on my left and right veins around my ear ! so thank you so much for helping me! if you have similar problems pay attention to the video you can solve it by adjusting the middle of your frame !
Thank you and worked! Adjusted my prescription sunglasses from online order and this is exactly what I needed. Much appreciated and be safe out there...
Don't put the lens in hot water, especially if you got them from America's best. Both of my glasses have coating on the lens that now has what they call hazing. Apparently the anti reflective coating can't be exposed to extreme, or excessive heat. I never even put them in water or left them in sunlight or wore them in the shower, nothing. They warrantied them but I still had to pay a deductible but then it happened again, to both pair. I never put anything on them and always used the clothe they provided. So frustrating
Im thinking its the anti reflective coating no matter who puts it on! I had the same problem! The lenses looked like water does with a bit of oil on the surface! That kind of mottled looking spots hazing whatever! It sucked and the lenses were trashed as i could see the spots looking thru them!
Hot water is the best. You CAN and shouldn’t overheat them. Hot water for limited time will allow you to pop the lenses out if you need to without damaging the lense. Obviously, you don’t need boiling water. Just tap is fine. If it’s a little bit uncomfortable for your hands, then that’s fine. Or just let them cook longer. If you use a blow dryer etc. it’ll make your lenses look like they were sitting on the dash of your car and it also weeps all the oil out of plastic glasses and makes them look horrible. Hot water is definitely the best. Depending on how your hot water is set up if they’re plastic glasses, you may want to do hot and add a little bit of cold and just go longer. For adjusting the bridge like this guy is doing you can just run the bridge directly under the tap and make sure the water isn’t hitting the lense. Go longer on the bridge, so it heats up to the core because it’s a lot thicker and you’ll crack it otherwise. Work smarter not harder.
No matter what you do you’ll make your lenses look like they were left on the dash if you’re not careful with the heat and how long you apply it. I work with extremely high heat steamers to clean off gold polish etc dental stuff. I steam my lenses clean. The key is I let them build up zero heat and move fast.
This is very close to my goal in bending my frames. Because I have a prism in my prescription, my attempt to fill different frames with a "wrap," has been turned down by my provider. I am left to purchase a "flat" frame, and then bend it myself at the nose bridge to hopefully attain a wrap. I cycle, and I need a wrap lens for better eye protection. Wonder if anyone is in the same predicament, and if you turned a flat frame into a wrap with substantial curvature.
Thanks for the info! Question: is it OK if I bend only the tip of the temples? Because that’s where I feel the pressure in my head, so I want to straighten them.
I’ve had no luck in adjusting the frame on my New Wayfarer frames from Ray Ban. The stems don’t have a wire in them. And , if I’ve read correctly these Italian made frames are made of nylon. Nylon is processed at very high temperatures. Any suggestions?
The New Wayfarer is the same process but needs to be much hotter. If you can't get to an optical where they use frame warmers that get very hot. You can try a blow dryer and concentrate the heat. I highly recommend going to an optical with that frame, you don't want to damage your lenses.
Yes, heat can damage the coatings on your lenses. If you have a plastic frame, it is advised to pop out the lenses first and then heat them up to do the adjusting.
@@ev6377 Most polycarbonate lenses are UV protected with no coatings. The coatings they're probably talking about are the anti scratch coatings and the anti-reflective coatings that most glasses have.
@@mymak-jq1hy so for poor folk like me that got the basic bitch lenses, we're alright to use super hot? Because I used steaming hot and it didn't work.
Noooo, dont do it, your glasses crooked itself for a reason on its own by sitting on your face, adjusting to your head shape. I wish i hadnt touched mine in such way, now its fucking wobbly and shit. Dont do anything to your glasses. Its plastic, it adjusts in time
Hi , i just received a pair of nike 7015 frames it says cold insert but they are too loose and nose bridge is too gapped , how would i go about doing cold insert frames ?
