      Doctor Eye Health I’ve been buying screwless eyeglass frames for years, it’s such a better mechanism than the old hinge design, not only no screw to loose but cheaper to manufacturer because of fewer parts and easier assembly. I’m surprised that all eyeglasses frames aren’t screwless nowadays.

      cierra williams doesn’t make a difference weather they are wireless or not. Look up both ‘on the ear’ and ‘over the ear’ headphones. The difference is the ‘over the ear’ ones will press into your glasses. Where the ‘on the ear’ ones don’t touch your glasses. ❤️

      In ear= preatty much every headphone that come with a phone, also called ear buds, example: apple air pods.
      on ear= the soft part on the headphone relax on ur ear not around ur ear, example: JBL by Harman JR300
      over ear= are the ones that the soft part of the headphones relax around ur ear, ex: Logitech G633 (the ones i have)
      about confort, the in ear are the best if u have glasses, on ear suck it just hurts ur ear after a while, over the ear depends on the headphone soft part, beacause some headphones like mine, "leak" sound if i wear my glasses but is nothing impossible to fix since u can buy aftermarket stuff for them, aka just the soft part made out of leather, but the leak isnt anything big u dont even really notice it.

    A little while back I bought an upright glasses case and use it when I go to bed. The outer surface is a faux leather and the inside is soft/fluffy. It stands up and I put my glasses in it for overnight. That way the glasses are protected from being moved around on my nightstand, falling, getting scratched, etc. I bought this item online and with S&H was about $15. Kind of a high price, but I'm glad to have it.

    The tabletop test @ 2:10
    I've been an optician for almost 10 years and I would suggest flipping the glasses over for the tabletop test.
    If you've had your glasses adjusted by a professional you are going to mess up your glasses if you adjust them as shown in the video.
    Most people have one ear that is higher or lower, or more forward or more back -- properly adjusted frames will account for that, and the temple-ends will never sit evenly on the table.

    Tip: Use both hands to fit/remove your spectacles. Give your microfibre cloth a wash from time to time.
    Visit your optometrist every few months for a spectacle service; screws tightened, ultrasonic wash & re-alignment. Most good optometrists will do this with a smile!

  • @tomthompson7400
    @tomthompson7400 4 года назад +53

    you missed what i think is the best tip ,
    use two hands to fit or remove your glasses , saves a lot of bending to the frame , and wear to always the same side , if you want to use one hand , remove using a pinch grip on the bridge ,
    in number 2 you lay your glasses down the wrong way , lay them with the side ends facing up and the top edges of the sides down , that way the frame and sides are not effected by the ear return section , in case they are not bent exactly even and it gives a false impression.
    hth
    never ever use super glue , sticky tape or even blue tac , but never super glue , , if the threads in hinges are stripped , they can have over size screws fitted , or even small nuts and bolts will work , i do it all the time , im a working optical lab tech.

      I'm late to this party, and while I've had co-workers lay them upside down as you suggest, for number 2, I generally do it the way the doc shows. It just works better for me. The only time I do it the other way is if the patient has a big difference in the way the temples have to be bent, then, as you say, it throws things off. Generally speaking though, the temples are even, and it's pretty easy to tell if they aren't

    My favorites were tips 4 and 5. Knowing that there's an ACTUAL solution to my mundane problem lessens my hatred for having poor visual capabilities. This video helped me a lot and I've just started watching your videos for half an hour or less. It gave me much respect for you and your job.
    Here's a random question: How do you deal with having cockeyed while using your phone. Sometimes I forget that I'm not looking directly at the screen with both of my eyes. It's a manner of habit and self discipline which is hard to get a grip on how to change it.
    Also.
    Habitually, I get bored of watching and I often rest my hand on top of my eye, as a result of it, therefore in the process only using one eye. Would this damage the visual balance quality of my eye. Since when I close one eye and the another individually, I've noticed one is blurrier than the other. I know that eyes aren't 100% the same in regards to quality but having no knowledge about the subject makes me unsecure and unsure about the things that I need to change and improve about one's self.
    Despite that, I really enjoyed your videos.

    Here's a cleaning hack I've found very handy to remove the effects of hairspray over-spray on the front of my glasses (because I'm too blind to take them off when I'm applying hairspray): rubbing alcohol applied to a cloth, gently rubbed on the glasses, than rinsed off with water. I got this trick from the eyeglass store I bought my glasses from in when I went back a long time ago to complain that the lens coatings were decomposing (they weren't). Works like a charm on my 6+ years old lenses.

    Another alternative, if you lose the screw is to use a sewing pin or a piece of wire. Just make sure when bending the ends that you don't accidentally scratch the lenses and the ends are positioned that they won't accidentally stab you later.
    This is how I fixed my dad's glasses, saved the need for replacing them or going to the optician.

Take some of those hair rubber bands that the girls use to tie their pony tails in and tie them around your ear pieces of your glasses.

    Doc, go on Amazon. For $10 you can buy a 500pc. assortment of tiny screws in two dozen sizes. Complete with tiny screwdriver. Can fix many things for many years. And, your optician usually isn't a good mechanic. If you use one drop of LocTite threadlock on the screw, it will never fall out again. But can be unscrewed.
