Can you please do another video on Abbe value and lens materials? I went to a new eye clinic and picked CR39 with anti-reflective coating on both sides, they're really nice glasses. I'm not a fan of polycarbonate. The lens material makes a huge difference.
at this time of corona, many of covid survivor are facing issue of "MUCORMYCOSIS" but because of lack of knowledge about its symptoms, how it feels, how it looks like and how to differentiate between bacterial and fungus infection people have no choice but to make the situation worse. It will be really helpful if you make a video regarding this Infection.
Eye care and tips are so needed. The eyes and teeth seem most neglected from medical insurance. Thanks for all the videos. It sure helps me to advocate for myself.
I'm watching this after buying my glasses online, and you literally nailed almost all the problems that I have with these new frames because I did the opposite. Wow, someone who actually knows what they're talking about, thanks for the tips - it is seriously helpful. I just got a refund and ordered ones that I'm sure will fit well now.
@@martinmaclovsky5525, the word 'sympatic' doesn't work in English the same way 'sympaticky' works in Czech. In English, you'd say he is 'nice'. 😊 That he sure is! 😊
The facial width and nose bridge shape are very important points and especially for people with very large or very small skulls this can mean the difference between a pair of glasses that fit and a pair of glasses that don't fit. The other major factor in latitudes with temperature extremes like the Northern US is metal frames expand and contract with temperature. This can cause most metal glasses to need adjustment to account for the change in size of the metal frames.
Hey I'm new In the lenses world . I'm 41 years and for the last 3 years my eye fition it's being off . Well finally i got prescription. And omg the process , well i need help with online prices and weight brand's ect . Please if you read it help out a old man
see, I'm not really that interested in which glasses look good on whom or contacts or anything like that, but this guy's camera prescence and presentation skills are second to none
I just recently learned about these numbers myself. It was never really important to know what they meant in the past because when trying on glasses in person I can instantly tell what looks good and what doesn’t. Now that I have started buying glasses online however the numbers have become VERY important and this is because you have no way to know what size the frames are in relation to your face without these numbers. Of course it still doesn’t help much if they don’t have your size. My face is very narrow at the temples which means I look best in small frames but nearly all the frames you find online these days are medium to large which really limits my choices. By the way, what he said about adding the numbers together to get the overall width of the frames obviously does not work with wraparound sunglasses. For example, 62mm wide lenses on wraparounds might work out to the same overall frame width as a regular pair of glasses with 52mm lenses.
I’m watching this the day AFTER I chose my next pair of glasses. I’ve been wearing them for 13 years and can happily say I already do what you recommend. Also, I have only just found your channel and love it! Subscribed for sure. Very helpful information as I genuinely sometimes have no clue what my optometrist is talking about. Thank you!
Oh wow Nelly! Thank you so much! So happy you found the channel and happy to have you here. Let me know if you have any other specific questions I can help with.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I actually do have a question! Though I have new glasses arriving shortly, I’d still like to know how do I properly clean my glasses at home? Mostly, I’m talking about around the lenses as this is where there is so much gunk: oil, dead skin etc! 🤢 Due to lockdown here in England my opticians have only been seeing those with urgent needs and therefore I couldn’t go in to have them done. I also forgot to ask when I went in for my test yesterday. It is so bad but I became desperate and took a hair clip to try and scrape the edges however, it’s still bad, agitating me knowing I’m putting on dirty glasses. I know if I continue to try and do this I will just scratch the glasses. Is there any special tools that I can buy or tips at home I can try? Thank you
As someone with a round face, square glasses definitely don't fit me. I've been wearing these for like 6 years but then I tried round glasses and man it makes me look way better! Thanks for this video though my case is just an exception :)
You put into words here why I've always avoided the frames that sit directly on my nose! I do not have a prominent nose ridge, and those type of frames always annoyed the crap out of me!
I am glad I found your channel. I have an eye appointment mid May. I have been lucky with excellent vision for most of my life. Then Mid 50's happened. I must be Presbyopic now. I am considering contacts now thanks to your channel. I also am gonna get glasses. This video helped a lot!
One other tip...if you use trifold, you need big enough lenses to accommodate all 3 levels of vision. I liked smaller frames but as I age I use my reading focus more and the bigger lens accommodates this full 3 levels of vision range better.
At last! So glad to get the size measurements explained. I've always depended on the dispensing agent to do this for me and sometimes it's a real disappointment but I didn't know how to explain the problem.
The nose pads are an absolute must if you have an East Asian nose bridge! It's also a good idea to go to an Asian optician place as they're more likely to have styles to suit flatter features.
💯% TRUE!!!! While I am not Asian Myself, I know that the JINS line of glasses are supposed to be better for "asian fit" ...I wonder if there is a better term we can come up with for that.
I just don't like the nose pads as it kind of makes to lose focus from the eyes for the viewer. My glasses are without nose pads. They were sliding a bit in the first 2 months, but then somehow they got adjusted and now they rarely slide.
My glasses are so cheap that they don't even have numbers on them but they're the most comfortable glasses I've worn. I've been wearing them for 7 years 😳 I'm trying to find a good pair that fit as nice as these. Thank you for the tips!
Doc. You're the best. I've never been fortunate enough, at least in the last fifty years to have any optician or opthmalogist to explain everything. They are always just selling a product and going on to the next sale. I appreciate your explaining all things optical!
In your lenses video can you talk about high + prescriptions and choosing frames to decrease the distortion and thickness? People usually always talk about nearsightedness. It so hard to pick frames when everything ‘in style’ makes me look like I have coke bottles for lenses.
I am a -7.5. But I just picked up my glasses yesterday and although I liked the frame it still looks thick even choosing a thick frame to hide it and 1.67 index progressive.
yes...high plus prescriptions and tips are always neglected and under discussed. I am not sure why the myopia population get 90 percent of the attention. If I had a choice at my conception between myopia or hyperopia I would have likely chose myopia ...small eyes are so much better than heavy frames and lenses that give u huge gigantic bug eyes!
Thanks! I'm getting to that point where reading and computer glasses don't cut it so I'm looking an getting progressives. This is the first time I'm seriously looking for them.
Are there any Blue light Glasses brands that you are looking at? There are a lot of brands out there and many may not be that helpful. please let me know if I can help.
Please do a video on contrast differences, I have a lazy eye 33yo and I'm noticing major contrast between my eyes which is gotten worse in the last 3 years. I'd like to learn more about what is going on here.
To discover your facial shape, stand in front of the mirror & draw the outline carefully with a bar of soap or lipstick/gloss. Thank you for the great info!!
I must start by saying I love your videos, they have helped me so much! Now for my comment. I have never seen glasses that are wide enough for my temple width. Either stores don't carry them (which is generally the case) or they don't exist. The ones that I have seen online that do exist are, well, butt ugly. I usually try and find glasses that are wide and then have them altered at the store.
I just got glasses today(Actually two years ago I did but I never wore them because of the nose pads. I think they stick out too far from my face and I could see outside of my glasses just as much as I saw through them and it made me nauseous), and contacts last week. You helped me put my contacts in, and take them out. Well I pinch they out with two index fingers, can't do it with just one hand for some reason, lol. But when I picked out my glasses last week, the office I went to just left me alone to pick out what I wanted. They are super comfortable and I liked them until my wife said she thought it was weird that my eyebrows on inside the frame and can't be seen over them. She says they look good but after mentioning that, that's all I can think of now. lol I think my nose bridge must be wide and glasses don't sit down on them enough or something. So is that weird for my eyebrows to not be above my glasses? If one of my eyes didn't have an astigmatism I would love to just wear the transition lenses you had in one of your videos, coolest thing I've seen.
To me picking the right frames for your face is like Harry Potter finding the perfect wand in The Philosopher's Stone. Luckily my optometrist helped me out on finding the perfect frames for me.
I've always followed the opticians practices advice on specs shapes, being as blind as a bat. The last time, my budget and time was short, I selected the 2nd pair shown as I liked the colour, it was in my price range and felt comfortable, a big old plastic pair. Hallelujah, it's the one that suits me best, over all the pairs of the last 40 years and is soooo comfortable. So much so, I'm finding myself wearing them every day, instead of my scleral lenses, which give me far better vision🙈🙈No more indentations on my nose from nosepads pressing into it, no more pushing my specs up my nose continually, no more heating the arms in boiling water to make them fit better, not one optometrist addressed the comfort factor over all these years. I've lost my faith in them after my last one recommended a surgical procedure costing 100k, operating on the lens at the back of my eyes, when the problem is in the front, would have been a total waste of time and money!
Hi Doc, love your helpful and well-informed advice. I'm in my 80's and have been wearing progressives for the last 50 years. Price is now a big factor for me, so I'm planning to try some online purchasing. I'd already decided to buy some frames separately to test their fit etc. The online outfit says I can do this. But after watching this video it occurred to me that I might also be able to buy the progressive lenses, too, and get the assembly done here in NZ. Thoughts?
Interesting about the nose. My first glasses were standard Navy issue, black frame, 'Ernie Kovax' glasses. I had a dark mustache, and with my Roman nose, I looked like I was wearing novelty shop, Groucho Marx false nose and glasses.
@@DoctorEyeHealth sir you're literally a great human being with such a kind heart ❤. I watch your every single video and they helped me alot in every aspect,, Thank you for this much help 💞 Interestingly I am aslo a Medical Student,, currently doing MBBS,, will join you in Future IA 😄❤
Another tip I forgot… make sure the glasses fit well in the length of side arm things of glasses and that they’re not too wide so they won’t fall off your head when tilting your head forward… try them on your head at the store and tilt your head a few times to ensure they don’t slide off your head.
It's hard to tell what shape my face is because of how intricate our skulls are designed, but when I really focused the other day I seem to be somewhere around the square/rectangle side. I didn't know what I was doing at the eye doctor but I really liked the circle framed glasses on me. Luckily I ended up being correct
I have a short round face. I also have small eyes. Which would I look better in?... 1). Rectangular/Square glasses with short lenses OR 2). Rectangular/Square glasses with tall lenses
Tip to also consider…. The little nose clippy things get caught in hair and rip your hair out if you often put them on your head… I’m going bald from my new glasses… I hate them for that. I’m opting for moulded plastic frames only now.
Boy, I didn’t know that it was so complicated! But the people at my eye doctor just show me the wall, they don’t measure noses, ears and eye sockets. Great video thanks
It would be so helpful for me if you could address the problem I have with ears that are lower than the bridge of my nose . This makes me having to look through the top third of my progressive lenses and then have the lens magnifying the area below my eyes! The opticians do not seem to be able to adjust the glasses to address this problem.
I had to get glasses for the first time and they didn't discuss face shape, nose size or PD. They just told me to go pick some glasses and try them on. 🙃
Wow, so strange. When I chose mine I went alone, but the seller had already experience with this so she suggested the ones that fit the best. I think a good thing would be to take along a close friend or someone from your family to have another opinion.
Omg , I need new glasses and I am going to drive my optometrist nuts with this information! It has always been pick some frames, all alone in the woods
I have been wearing glasses almost all the time for the past 5 years and never thought about these really important points ! Really helpful.. thank you

Interestingly I am aslo a Medical Student,, currently doing MBBS,, will join you in Future IA 😄❤
That is TRUE I was having difficult . You have made it so easy for me
Another tip I forgot… make sure the glasses fit well in the length of side arm things of glasses and that they’re not too wide so they won’t fall off your head when tilting your head forward… try them on your head at the store and tilt your head a few times to ensure they don’t slide off your head.
It's hard to tell what shape my face is because of how intricate our skulls are designed, but when I really focused the other day I seem to be somewhere around the square/rectangle side. I didn't know what I was doing at the eye doctor but I really liked the circle framed glasses on me. Luckily I ended up being correct
I have a short round face. I also have small eyes.
Which would I look better in?...
1). Rectangular/Square glasses with short lenses
OR
2). Rectangular/Square glasses with tall lenses
i just picked pilot type glasses with thin frame cuz i think it looks cool :D
Your videos are really beneficial!!! ☺
Glad you think so! Thanks for all your support!
Yes super helpful really appreciate your video thank you
Fantastic! My face a little thin and long. Can you help me choose ạ glasses fit? Thank you so much!
Please provide information about eye's problem when use mobile 🙏
Yessir, I have square/rectangular face and the only glasses that suits on me is oval shape 👌
Very helpful information! Thank you Doc!
Tip to also consider…. The little nose clippy things get caught in hair and rip your hair out if you often put them on your head… I’m going bald from my new glasses… I hate them for that. I’m opting for moulded plastic frames only now.
what else
thankyou for your other tips. it help em a lot.
Boy, I didn’t know that it was so complicated! But the people at my eye doctor just show me the wall, they don’t measure noses, ears and eye sockets. Great video thanks
Please make a video in how the frame should be bent to your face
thanks, I found it helpful 👌
I'm so glad to hear that!
Thanks doc, very helpful
It would be so helpful for me if you could address the problem I have with ears that are lower than the bridge of my nose . This makes me having to look through the top third of my progressive lenses and then have the lens magnifying the area below my eyes! The opticians do not seem to be able to adjust the glasses to address this problem.
Seems like your insurance should cover either contacts or corrective eye surgery in an instance like this. But we all know how that is...
I had to get glasses for the first time and they didn't discuss face shape, nose size or PD. They just told me to go pick some glasses and try them on. 🙃
Wow, so strange. When I chose mine I went alone, but the seller had already experience with this so she suggested the ones that fit the best. I think a good thing would be to take along a close friend or someone from your family to have another opinion.
I appreciate the short video as it helps to reduce eye strain, haha
Omg , I need new glasses and I am going to drive my optometrist nuts with this information! It has always been pick some frames, all alone in the woods

I have been wearing glasses almost all the time for the past 5 years and never thought about these really important points !
