Eye Wear Maintenance : How to Adjust the Frames for Glasses

[@JayAaronNY]

13 years later and this video is still really gonna answer 99% of folk’s questions with enough depth AND brevity. Brilliant! 🤓

[@TerrieSchweitzer]

This is a PERFECT example of what a how-to video should be. It shows me how to do something I need to do and fix something that has been irritating me. It doesn't preach at me that I shouldn't try to do it myself. It apparently assumes that I am an adult (imagine!) and am willing to take the risks inherent in doing it. And it doesn't have a huge four-minute introduction, it gets right to the point. Thank you so much!

[@johnthemann6483]

I Thumbs down because you didn't say whether or not to leave the lenses on when you do heat. What happens if the heat damages anti reflective anti glare scratch resistant transitions coating? Thanks for not answering that LOL

[@ERROL007]

@@johnthemann6483 I have a pair with anti glare lenses that needed the frame adjusting. I was there with the optician heated the frame and made the adjustments the lenses where never removed.

Winner of a video, I've been looking for "specsavers ultra clear superclean review" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Rayemiron Uncommunicative Release - (do a search on google ) ? It is a good exclusive guide for discovering how to improve your eyesight naturally minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin got great success with it.

[@txpacket]

AMEN!

[@tonimattox6976]

Exactly, unless were about to have sex, I don't need foreplay. 😂 Just get right to it.

[@mrchase1]

We appreciate the time that you took to teach us the right way of adjusting glasses.

[@danainthevalley]

This is why I love the internet. Saves me a trip from going to the eye doc. Thank you, Ehow! Much appreciated!

[@artchat5777]

I completely agree with Terrie Schweitzer
. A PERFECT example of what a how-to video should be. No fuss, no nonsense, clear and concise.

[@johnnyboy7491]

I've had glasses about 2 years and I finally decided to look for instructions on how to adjust them!
Thank you for your clear and concise explanations - very good! Well Done!

[@mercybuckets8268]

Thank you, Troy! I've been heating and bending (inward) the far ends of the bows, and couldn't understand why the fix didn't stay put. And here you explained it, so now I know. You also explained the correct way to bring the bows inward. I'm going to do that right now. Thanks a lot!

[@skinnysenpai]

I was trying for 1 hour to find a video that will help me, and you actually did, my glasses fit great now, thank you.

[@lukeblack8573]

Thanks so much, I ran out of contacts and my plastic backup pair has been my help. Fixing them now! You are awesome!

[@FlemNmzzzz]

This video is extremely well done. Thank you! Almost 10yrs after it's been posted, still golden.

[@anadelgado8661]

Thank you for this great video! I went to the optometrist today where my son got his glasses 2 years ago, since I refused to make an appointment they told me they would charge me $15 to adjust them!! Needless to say they just lost 4 customers.

[@sowolfx5795]

Thank you. The first trick worked. I didn't had to heat anything. Just slightly pushed a pressure and I then kept shades on table and it aligned perfectly. Liked!

[@GantsilyoBaguio]

I love this video. He's very adept and pleasant. He covered all areas of the topic too! Thanks!

[@StRaine]

Much appreciated the time you took to teach! I managed to fixed my metal frames. Thanks a million!

[@smashleybreaks]

This video was a TREMENDOUS help! Thanks a million!

[@IACSC]

Thank you so much. My glasses were crooked, and it was visually bothering me to hell and back. Now they're straight again. You're a big help!

[@user-uu9nq8cm7f]

Clear and concise directions. Very helpful.

[@katherineparker4104]

This was SO helpful! Thank you! I order most of my glasses online so I have to adjust them when they arrive and I had no idea how to do it.

[@totalbliss1]

Just adjusted my brand new sunglasses which were sitting too high on my face with this tutorial. Perfect instrument to use for that which I have is a surgical scissor like clamp with a long nose. It gets right inside the small curve.

[@tamarakennedy4976]

Thank you for making this video..truly a humanitarian who truly cares about people..

[@heatherann7239]

Thank you to who made this video.. my glasses were crooked and I couldn’t figure out why here it was the arm piece.. saved me a trip to get them fixed! And I did it myself was afraid I was gonna break them though

[@SilverHornet13]

Today, this is the greatest RUclips video of all time. I ordered some new glasses online on a year old prescription. And I completely forgot that the frames need adjusting around my ears. After stressing out for an hour regarding how to solve my problem, I thought, try RUclips (You idiot)!! And wallah. Hair dryer does the trick??? Such a simple thing that I would have never thought about. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jinxxx6410]

one of the best "how to" videos on RUclips!!

[@WillsComicBookMan]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I WAS BEING DUMB AND SPLIT APART MY GLASSES GOING DOWN STAIRS IN A SLEEPING BAG, THNKX!!!!!

[@gogogetter]

I know that this post is 6 years old, but I died laughing 😂

[@VedS004]

Thanks for the frame crooked method I have been wearing it like that for 2months. This video helped me make it right.

[@damnarse]

Excellent tutorial on frame adjustment.

[@IndiaDeBoise]

This was great! I just bought two pair of glasses and they both needed to be adjusted. This worked perfectly.

[@MelissaOHarra]

Most fantastic ! A superb demonstration and narrative of how to adjust one’s eyewear. Someone should plug you in to s local television producer. Nice work!

[@kavirajkevin]

Very Good.... dude has mastered the art in frame adjustments.

[@hairchemy]

Looked up the subject "how to fix and adjust a frame, got all the answers, no further questions.
Thanks.

[@sueclark8896]

Thank you so much. I just received my new glasses from the VA hospital & was told I'd need to take them to be asjusted. I will use your information to try myself.

[@underthebus5801]

Following your example, I was able to adjust my Oakley frames so they no longer slant across my face. Thank you!

[@dgwoz]

Thank you very much! I'm so happy to have these glasses fit again!

[@terilara9343]

thank you, Troy, for demonstrating these great tips! so easy to understand. i always have the problem of crooked glasses. the optical place adjusts them for me but i swear 3 hours later, they're crooked again. I'd probably have to live at the optical place to get them just right. i have brand new glasses so I want to adjust them correctly, myself, this time. i never knew about using the needlenose pliers too on the metal part. can't say thank you enough!!!!

[@dis_iskyle2404]

This guy is a professional

[@nekroreaper6348]

My god this man is a lifesaver. now i just need to figure out how to put my lenses back in correctly since theyre hanging out a bit

[@TeamRichTV]

First time watching a tutorial where the guy didn't tell me to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell
I appreciate that so much I think I'm gonna like, subscribe, & hit the notification bell

[@theconquered]

[@Angel4Prayer]

Thank you this was a much needed video, you have been and are a blessing to us. May God bless and keep you

[@GEKWINS]

Thanks for the vid and tips, I was getting ready to just buy new frames, but now I don't need to. No more neck pain from a bad fit.

[@MsFishingdog]

Great video. Thanks a lot.

[@blueridgepics]

Thank you!!! I just adjusted mine. Yayyy.

[@TAB442]

I'm just now getting my first pair of glasses. Thanks for the helpful tips!

[@amerkojic9833]

[@wendypowell4215]

So helpful. Thanks for saving me a trip and a wait!

[@polster2]

Very clear and useful information on adjusting frames! Thank you for the video!

[@joycelowry668]

Excellent video! Thank you!

[@pineapplesnoopy1876]

This is great but I would like to know how to do the last adjustment that you mention - it would be helpful to see a demonstration as that one looks more tricky to do

[@camarocarl7130]

Great instruction, thanks!

[@EddieJazzFan]

Great info Thanks. Plastic frames are a real pain though, I don't know why people like them. Metal ones are really easier to adjust.

[@Tyler-Wiley]

My biggest complaint of plastic frames is that you always have to heat them up to adjust them. If you induce too much heat on the lenses, you risk damaging the lenses coatings.

[@tedlington]

[@rtrgrl78]

I thought it was just me, that saw that too :-)

[@LemansSunset350]

[@ethanchen1901]

GOOD VIDEO! HELPFUL!

[@DROVN]

Thanks a lot for this video.

[@juantana7]

Thank you!! gonna try this on my Serengeti sunglasses as they are sitting crooked - I think one ear must be higher than the other one..

[@gerry.shafer6101]

NICE. TIP. USING. THE. CLOTH. TKS.

[@cloudadministrator7246]

I think you forgot to mention that if you heat the poly-carbonate glass you will damage it, so better to cover the glass with aluminum paper or wet sheet to avoid heat directly on it.

[@xXHungryTurtleXx]

I'm nervous to do this ..

[@xXHungryTurtleXx]

I have really high prescription, and my lens were specially made. I think polycarbonate. . I just need to adjust the part behind the ear. It's slightly too tight.

[@xXHungryTurtleXx]

What do you think?

[@allenlivera1611]

Good to know. Thanks for posting.

[@jeromesassani9537]

Thank you very much. Now I can go back to reading myself to sleep without the worry of bending my glasses and not being able to correct them.

[@vanjhadedescartin3767]

Thankyou sir! Godbless you😇

[@MsArmanna1]

Thanks a lot for sharing such useful tips..

[@itorres008]

Thanks for the video. I have wondered why the temples are adjusted on the bench and set to touch the surface at once. That sort of presumes one's ears are perfectly aligned parallel to the eye line, but it seems to me that the ears are not perfectly aligned, but that one is higher than the other.

[@Tyler-Wiley]

If your ears are unbalanced, one of your temples will be sitting higher than the other. The problem with the bench alignment is that it assumes that your ears are symmetrical when in fact they are not.

[@thomasmolnar1569]

Well made video, to the point, thank you
