Ever broken your glasses before? How did it happen? Remember we also have a video explaining easy and useful tips on how to fix your broken glasses at home : th-cam.com/video/Pbf7VqGXKHo/w-d-xo.html
Yes.. mine i accidentally sat my eyeglasses and its impossible to fix it anymore so i just bought a new one.. 😒😒.. maybe thats too expensive that new type of eyeglasses?
Broke so many glasses. volleyball, dancing, soccer. These frames seem great! Bet I could still break them though. English riding, glasses fall off and horse steps on them, nothing is going to stop that. I switched to contacts for activities that may break my glasses. Like Kung Fu and paintball.
My Eschenbach Titanflex frames broke after 13 years. I was gently cleaning the lenses and before I knew it, I'm holding half a frame in each hand. The fancy flexy metal bits were fine: it broke at a connection point near the bridge. I guess even titans have weak spots.
I once swatted a fly (and glasses) from my face while driving… the glasses broke, pretty sure the fly didn’t
I want memory metal so urgently
I've been wearing memory metal glasses for about 25 years. They do pretty much what they are designed to do and that tis survive some accidental situations. It's not a good idea to go around bending them just to impress your friends or just for the hell of it. They will break eventually. I've had two pair break in the last two and a half decades. Nonetheless, I won't wear anything else now.
couldn't agree more
I broke so many of these as a kid doing exactly that lmao
I had Flexon frames for my computer glasses that I wore on a cord around my neck as they were bifocal for reading too. I had them for more than 10 years before I did break them. The nose bridge broke because I picked up something heavy and had it pressed against my body. Now I plan to have new flexon frames as soon as my eyes have adjusted to surgery and can get a new prescription. So happy you did a video on Flexon. I love your videos.
Flexon frames are very nice, they’re one of the brands I keep coming back to. That said, I will note that the only pair of frames I have broken in the last 20 years were Flexons; I walked out of the optical, got in my car, took the newly-arrived-and-fitted frames off, bent them about 30 degrees and the bridge snapped. I put my year-old Chesterfields back in and went back into the office. They apologized profusely and replaced them, two weeks later I picked them up again-and seven years later I’m wearing them again, with the same old prescription, because the new glasses I have are great for driving… and lousy for focusing on the TV 12 feet away.
I shelled out nearly £200 for these thinking that they would last! Just under a year the bridge snapped... Contacted Flexon as they have two year warranty, which conveniently wasn't covered by it.
Oh no! That is the first I have heard of that. What happened to them? Did they not have the memory metal bridge?
Oof
Rip
Those are just perfect for me having epilepsy as seizures cause bent frames and only small small parts of mine bend but not like that so I constantly have to get them bent back into shape
Had lasek 15 years ago and finally went in for glasses last week. I knew that frames like these existed and I found them at the store. Only wish they carried more from this brand but once i get my glasses I'm sure ill be happy with them.
I love flexon. I have been wearing them for years. Sadly the last time I got glasses, my shop only had two styles to choose from. They switched to Ovvo. This new frame is lightweight but do NOT fit snug like my flexons. They constantly fall off my nose. I need glasses and will look for a new optometrist and a shop that will let me get flexon again. Why flexon? I sat on glasses, I slept in glasses, rocked a rocking chair on glasses and needed something that would survive rough treatment. I also wanted glasses with a snug fit that I was confident would NOT fall off my face or constantly need to be adjusted. Memory metal is great stuff!! Thanks for the video and the link!
I’ve had a full Flexon frames and they are amazing
I had those as a kid, I remember the box they had them in all twisted as a pretzel at the store to show how flexible they were.
Wonderful channel! Thank you for your helpful tips over the years. I would love to see a video addressing how to get used to contact lenses for those with myopia. My problem has been that the contact lenses severely interfere with my up-close vision, even though the contacts prescribed were specifically not supposed to cause those issues. I would appreciate any suggestions!
My husband had flexon frames many years ago and after showing them off too many times they finally snapped in the middle of the nose bridge. It was a bummer.
Been using mine for well over two decades now, the model I have wont bend as much as the ones in the intro, but theyre still damn impressive.
Only ever broke one pair by accidentally exceeding their tolerance in the nose bridge
Wow. I never knew these existed. Great video.
Thanks for watching!
I have bought two arnettte sunglasse mirrored. If even after expiry i wear them is it dangerous for eyes ( wear for esthetically). Like an expired lense would let in mor euv ray than normal anything like that?
How long I would expect them to last before peeling off?
Wow! Am sometimes careless almost broke my glasses the only pair i have. Those are fantastic
Get a Seconds pair of you need your glasses, nothing is indestructable and there could Always Go Something wrong
What is the model exactly you were wearing in this video that can bend all the way back and have full flexon material frame?
This is so cool!!! I’m going to get one !☝️ Thank you for your video!!! ❤️
Hope you love them!
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you Doctor!! ❤️
Please do a video on blepharokeratoconjunctivitis or keratoconjunctivitis. I was diagnosed with this and I can’t find any information. Thank you
I used to wear those when I was a kid. I liked it
I have been wanting to try these although I sue thick lenses, im afraid they may pop out of the frame, would buying these be a good idea?
Hey I've had double vision for around 5 months I have had 1 eye exam and 2 trips to the eye clinic I have vertical double vision and they have done every test on my eyes and they have all come back perfect and im really scared and worried that it could be a brain tumor. Today afyer my second trip they gave me eye drops and are saying hopefully it will get better but I'm really worried as I am only 16 if you have any advice or guidance to my situation please help it would mean alot Thank you keep up the work I love your videos
Hi Boss! My eye dr said I can't see in 3D. Can you do a video on stereoblindness?
are the nosepads attachments also flexon bendable metal?
Hey my vision get's blurry and clear after wearing contacts how could I resolve it
This is a life changeer for me
How easy is it to adjust the frame for a fitting
How can you tell which frames have the memory metal all the way around?
The arm on my flexon nike glasses broke just from holding by the arms and shaking water from the lenses after washing with water…done this many times but nothing happened then all of a sudden one arm broke in half ….this material just gave out and broke
i have broken multiple frames because i play basketball. Whenever the ball hits my face, it just snaps at the corner of the lens. Is these frames good for collision sports?
What about the hinges? Are they 360*???
Careful with flexing I had them when they first came out and they kept breaking in the middle crossbar, even when I went to put them on normally they would just break and it was just plastic on the inside with a tiny outer metal covering
Funny story.
I work at a Pearle Vision in MN, and one day I was working with a patient and showing them our selection of glasses. I come up to the flexon’s, and I start to run my little spiel about how they “are unbelievably durable, and you can bend them any which way and they snap back into place.” Mid sentence I bent the frame and it snaps at the bridge. Most embarrassing moment of my life. Best part is the parents dad, at the time, bursted out laughing and my coworker, without turning around, said “no way you just snapped that frame”.
HI Doc What about metal allergies? I am allergic to nickel. Does titanium cause allergies? Great video you put out on eye care THANKS!
Titanium itself doesn't but this is Most likely a Combination of roughly half Nickel and half Titanium, in theory this releases a very very very small ammount of nickel-ions because the Nickel is bound in a molekular Level. Thing is its very little but Not zero, ive Had customers with Nickel allergy who could wear Them and people who couldnt.
The claims mostly hold up in my experience, but I have had a clear blue surface finish / tint on the frame flake off after a year of use.
Thats because the Metal itself is very flexible but the Paint isnt so thats a known issue If Bent to often
Nice information sir
Thank you! Glad you liked it, John!
Hello, I have a question. What is your opinion on that 10 eye exercises video from the Bright Side channel? Do you think those exercises actually help to get better vision or maybe they help the eyes in some other way?
No exercises can help with myopia, but they help if your vision got blurry because of eye strain
My last pair of Flexon were great 10 years and still going strong. Last pair 6 months in the metal just above the earpiece snapped in half WTF. Took the old pair apart to fix the new glasses, should not have to do that.
What about making adjustments to the frame? How is that possible if the material can’t be reshaped?
Great question! Surprisingly they can be adjusted, but it is best done by opticians using tools in the optical.
I need these
Hey guys is it okay drinking coffe if you have dry eyes? My problem is that my eyes dosnt produce enoch tears
Doctor I am 18 pls reply, I have a feeling of light flickering for a second like it goes dark for a second and comes back , a feeling like this. Is it serious I have dry eyes , floaters and entopic phenomenon. I have exams near pls reply sir 🙏.
can memory metal be adjusted with heat?
I have been wearing Flexon for 20 years and just on my third pair. I only broke one pair at the nose bridge showing someone how flexible they are ooops.
My favorite technique over the years has been to sit on them. I've gotten pretty good at carefully bending them back so I can use them, but it is frustrating. These frames look interesting, but I'm always hesitant to buy glasses online. I have a progressive prescription and the glasses have to be made perfectly to avoid issues. My eyesight is bad enough without that. I can't stand places like Lenscrafters because they always have a crappy, limited selection of frames, but they are local and any issues can be promptly addressed. Their salespeople also know nothing about getting people into the best frames for their individual needs.
I would love to hear of any alternative places to try. I'm getting my scrip checked next week and will probably be buying a new pair. I'm active and would love a pair better suited to that lifestyle. Thanks for all the videos.
I completely understand how you feel!!! Some eye clinics do have trained and experienced opticians but many places have high turnover in employees and sometimes it’s hard to find a place that doesn’t sell the same stuff. Flexon can be found online but mostly sold through in store Optical or glasses stores. I don’t think there would be any hurt feelings if you ask eye clinics who on their staff has the most experience or if they have any certifications as opticians. Perhaps they can help you better.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Any brand you recommend over flexon for sports?
Zenni optical is the best and my Go to for glasses for USA and Canada.
my old eye doctor. i miss you🤧
Can I ask my eyes I feel like it far but ita actually close its because I'm using phone morning to night or something doc help
This is magic to me
What brand of contacts do you wear?
I’m looking at this video with my freshly put together broken eyewear that I just fixed with second glue and baking soda 🥲 Oh, also with scratched glasses cuz I’m a clumsy individual who isn’t very skilled with sandpaper 🥴
hi doctor,can i ask you something, what can cause seeing little smoke in vision when looking white wall or blue sky ,can it cause by medication side effect?
Check out his videos on Floaters to see if that’s what you are seeing.
@@christelboyd06 thank you
how do these compare to high end titanium (eg.lindberg)?
btw, it is very painful to watch you bend it like that lol.
Always broken.
Lately i got a PALMA titanium frame , it is solid but if it is that good for a ling lasting not sure yet
Hope it works great for you!
Intresting!!
I know! I wish they made my car out of this stuff lol
@@DoctorEyeHealth hahah someday maybe

I can't understand how so many could become so Illiterate. ONE is singular, One's is plural. Mixed with the word THESE as in THESE ONE'S is Just S2pid as hell.
Hello, I was wondering about eye vitamins? I take a multivitamin every day, but is that enough? Thanks for your help 😃
Depends on the health of your retina and some other systemic factors. I have a few videos on this topic planned for this year. Have you asked your local eye doc?
There are specific eye vitamins based on retinal studies on specific eye diseases. Such as macular degeneration and diabetes. Omega 3 also has some benefits to the retina. I personally advocate for heart healthy diet as number 1 but I do personally take eye vitamins and recommend them for some of my patients, but I think it’s best to always ask a local eye care professional so they can give personal guidance
@@DoctorEyeHealth No, I have not spoken to my eye doctor about it yet, I keep seeing ads, and just want to take it to prevent any eye issues. I have an appointment in May, I guess I will talk to him about it then. Thanks
My Prescription is :
OD (-1.50 20°)
OS (-1.00 170°)
My Question is : is it normal that there's no sphere in my prescription or it's equal to zero here ?
I feel like every Frame Friday about to be a banger
I always brake my glasses I broke two glasses in two days when I was 8 years old know I'm 11 I'm getting new glasses in a week I'm exited but if I knew of these a long time ago I think I wouldn't be getting new glasses but thank you for the video 👍
I don't break frames. Unfortunately, I scratched a lens. To replace it cost $476. Ouch! My lenses do have bells and whistles. Without them, I would have coke bottle lenses.
I got my first pair of your ago I absolutely love them.
I've never bent my glasses. I have, however, torn a contact lens. 😞
The hinges wear out really fast and they can't be fixed
I started watching your videos relatively recently after I got a lot of floaters all at once and I don't know if I should go in to see if it's a big deal or not. I haven't seen any lights or anything but there has been noticable flickering in my vision when it's dark. Do you think it's a good enough reason to go to an optometrist or no?
Hi Doc, Ive had barrage laser done last month for lattice with a hole in my left eye after a week I started seeing a tiny black dot most probably from the same eye which appears suddenly and disappears quickly it is not like common floater that just floats around and follows the Direction where am looking
Should I be concerned?
Ask optician to look in your eyes soon, they have equipment and can put you on urgency list if necessary.
@@geertjalink are there any chances that barrage laser could go wrong?
@@geertjalink also there's a huge increase in number of floaters that I have rightnow
@@disastergaming1009 for now see to make appointment with doctor and urge them. 😭
Hi Dr Joseph, I’m having these inflammation gel looking on my eyes where the iris is and I see it though bright light on the Mirror. Each time I blink the gel looking issue moves around my eyes. Ive got floaters on my eyes as well as getting pink eye recently. I’m not sure if it’s something to worry about.
My dog jumps over me and brakes the nose guard I also set glasses on floor while I worked out and stepped on them but the glasses i have now think out it and they will brake
Once I remember maybe because the frame was of low quality but i got my glasses and in the morning as soon as i put them on the glasses just exploded lol
And then the person wouldn’t believe me when I told him I literally put them on and two seconds later they exploded 😂
Very well done DR how much glasses like this will cost?i thing the glasses idustry the making billions of dollars yearly that i thing some time they do have the cure for any ones eye with out a glasses thanks
Haha I understand that thought but thankfully glasses are only one means of vision correction. Prices vary by location and where you shop, some frames that are more simple may be in the low-mid 100 usd range while other premium products can be higher. Check out their website and maybe on the Eyeconic store website and you may be able to find updated prices.
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks DR health
Can sugar cause retinal detachment
Well diabetes is a cause of retinal detachment, and elevated sugar is tied into diabetes
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks for info 😊
Is it really weird that I have never broken my glasses.
Does eye power stabilise after 20?
mine declined at 22 > >
Remember that UFO that crashed near area 51 ,and a fella came by picked up wreckage and gave to authorities and it bore these same (returning to original state after being crumpled up ) characteristics as these eyeglasses 50 yrs after .
Maybe!
Sir, Eye problem solution ...
What is a frame Friday. . ?
Just Fridays were I get to talk about cool eyeglasses and sunglasses lol ( what is a Post Malone? 😂)
@@DoctorEyeHealth cool and i don't know there's a THING that is post malone the only post malone I know that it's some guy that sings . . yeah you can look him up
Best place to get memory frames with scratch resistant lenses?
Please and thank you!
My dogs were the main culprits!
They wear contacts now? Laugh!
Haha. Memory frames can be found at eye clinics, try this search engine www.flexon.com/find-flexon.html. Or online through eyeconic
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you so much!
I wonder if my dog can get an eye exam there as well, I’ll let you know how things turn out!
Day 1 of asking to make a vid on blue field entopic phenomena
Wow
Ive broken 6 pairs each worth 524$
They have a flexibility but be aware..they can brake.
True!
i wish they made for car
Bet the cheapest ones are too expensive for us "po" disabled folks on SS.
The flexon black line is more premium because of the designs but they have a classic line which is pretty affordable.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Ty. I'll look since it's "glasses time" 😁
I've broken mine by accidently sleeping and rolling onto them . My girlfriend broke he glasses by bending them just like you did so go easy and don't do that bending
I'm 32 and just had glasses prescription apparently I was blind and didn't know how bad it was. So long story short I am terrified ill snap these.... let me re state that ... I'm afraid my kids will destroy them and I can't afford new ones lol any one know the cost of these
I broke my glasses when i felt depressed for my eyes
They will fly off your face and never be seen again if you are outdoors. True story.
Some stupid mask, they made me wear in a store, caught my glasses and bent the hinge. I foolishly thought I could straighten it out. The frames might have been bendable titanium but the hinges are breakable.
I have a six hundred dollar pair of Flexon 145 titanium glasses and i set down and snapped the arm off at the pivot. I think they are overrated.
This might be good for the people who doesn't have much money's they just need to change lense
Lense is cheap
Lenses are cheap? The last time I got new lenses they were almost $500 for the pair at Sam's Club. Don't skimp on frames or lenses. Get the absolute best you can afford. For me that's memory metal and top of the line Transitions and all the coatings.
I have had 3 pairs of Flexon Frames and everyone BROKE in the Middle of the Bridge for no reason while putting them ON. Don't BUY ! $$$$$$$
I am so tired of this useless world, it’s literally exhausting
Sorry to hear that…what’s up?
There is help for those kinds of feelings. I hope you seek that help and take on a new outlook on life. A talk with a general practitioner is a good first step.
