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!
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
@@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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
Today, this is the greatest TH-cam 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 TH-cam (You idiot)!! And wallah. Hair dryer does the trick??? Such a simple thing that I would have never thought about. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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!
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
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.
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!!!!
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
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
My frame was not sitting properly even though was fixed couple of times where I bought it,you showed how to check if your glasses are crooked mine was I fix it thanks 👍
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.
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.
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.
Last part of the video to bring temples in. how can you do this on nike flexon glasses? i have them and they are always sliding off my face. The temples are way to far apart. Thanks for any help. This video is awesome too
Excellent explanations, although the problem I have is not covered--the top of my lens is touching my eyebrow area, so it gets oily easily. I'm guessing I bend the temple downward, but not sure.
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.
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.
can i use warm water for the metal frame's temple? just asking, i'm having second thoughts on owning a blower. thanks wow...so informatively helpful...
I tried the heat method to bend out the temple tips on my TR60 glasses because they pinch behind my ears, but they didn't budge a mm. Is there some trick to adjusting TR60 frames?
This is informative but it would be nice to know how a lens should sit in reference to the pupil for the best vision. For example, I wear a progressive lens so my lenses need to sit on my face a certain way in order to make the lenses perform the way they should. So, some instruction on how to adjust frames to get the lenses to sit 'just so' would be helpful.
If you bend the bridge and induce more of a curve, you end up outside of your optical center and that will increase your sphere and cylinder, thus, making your prescription too strong.
if i usually require a bit of curving the back end of my glasses (smaller face) would wire/metal frames be ok? i usually wear plastic but want to try the other kind of style with notepads and such. but I'm wonder the entire arms on a metal frame is adjustable. or if its just the very end thats adjustable. Also I have an astigmatism.. and wondering if the glass will look too thick on wire frame?
if you figure this out please let me know... I have plastic frames for the first time in a decade and I am going crazy with that problem. doesn't help that my nose shape doesn't allow the glasses to sit snug on my nose. I am stuck in these for 2 years and I have progressive lens so I have to have them higher for them to work. HELP!?!?!

AMEN!
Exactly, unless were about to have sex, I don't need foreplay. 😂 Just get right to it.
We appreciate the time that you took to teach us the right way of adjusting glasses.
This is why I love the internet. Saves me a trip from going to the eye doc. Thank you, Ehow! Much appreciated!
I completely agree with Terrie Schweitzer
. A PERFECT example of what a how-to video should be. No fuss, no nonsense, clear and concise.
I've had glasses about 2 years and I finally decided to look for instructions on how to adjust them!

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

Much appreciated the time you took to teach! I managed to fixed my metal frames. Thanks a million!
Thanks so much, I ran out of contacts and my plastic backup pair has been my help. Fixing them now! You are awesome!
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!

Very Good.... dude has mastered the art in frame adjustments.
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.
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!
one of the best "how to" videos on TH-cam!!
Clear and concise directions. Very helpful.
This was great! I just bought two pair of glasses and they both needed to be adjusted. This worked perfectly.
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.
Looked up the subject "how to fix and adjust a frame, got all the answers, no further questions.
Thanks.

Excellent tutorial on frame adjustment.
Thanks for the frame crooked method I have been wearing it like that for 2months. This video helped me make it right.
Thank you very much! I'm so happy to have these glasses fit again!
Thanks Troy!
Worked like a charm on my plastic frames.
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.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I WAS BEING DUMB AND SPLIT APART MY GLASSES GOING DOWN STAIRS IN A SLEEPING BAG, THNKX!!!!!

Thank you this was a much needed video, you have been and are a blessing to us. May God bless and keep you
Following your example, I was able to adjust my Oakley frames so they no longer slant across my face. Thank you!
This guy is a professional
You are good at this. This video was excellent.

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

0:50 Leading up with all those close magic hand gestures I was certain he was going to pull a quarter out of his ear.
My frame was not sitting properly even though was fixed couple of times where I bought it,you showed how to check if your glasses are crooked mine was I fix it thanks 👍
thanks i have the plastic frame type so i didnt know where to bend cause mine were really wide apart now they are good again
Very well done video. Thank you
Great instruction, thanks!
The hair dryer worked great!
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..
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.
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.

It helped on my plastic frames ....Thanx dude

I'm nervous to do this ..
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.
What do you think?
Helpful. Would be more helpful to see a close up of the adjustments. I couldn't see which way you adjusted the temples.... down or in?
Very helpful, thanks for posting.
Also adjusting the pantoscopic angle on my oakley transistors. How to do that would be helpful.
Great explanation..thank you. You have the hands of a magician ya know...seriously. :)
Well made video, to the point, thank you
GOOD VIDEO! HELPFUL!
Good to know. Thanks for posting.
Thanks a lot for this video.

Very Helpful! Thank you!
Thank you Doc very informative. Y
ou helped answer all of my questions.
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.
can i use warm water for the metal frame's temple? just asking, i'm having second thoughts on owning a blower. thanks wow...so informatively helpful...
Warm water works too.
Thanks for the expert tips!
Thanks you this video is very useful
Where should I adjust my glasses if one side of the frame is sitting closer to my face than the other side?
I tried the heat method to bend out the temple tips on my TR60 glasses because they pinch behind my ears, but they didn't budge a mm. Is there some trick to adjusting TR60 frames?
Thank you for the share.
Troy I have a pair of Oakley Transistor frames. How do you adjust the temples?

Kevin Spacey 😃
I thought it was just me, that saw that too :-)
Def a similarity
I thought he looked familiar 😆
Can you make a video on tips for the bendable titanium frames, I am not 100% sure it would be the same as the normal metal frames or not.
Can you also bend the bridge so that the glasses become more curved and therefore have a more wrap around look?
If you bend the bridge and induce more of a curve, you end up outside of your optical center and that will increase your sphere and cylinder, thus, making your prescription too strong.
if i usually require a bit of curving the back end of my glasses (smaller face)
would wire/metal frames be ok? i usually wear plastic but want to try the other kind of style with notepads and such. but I'm wonder the entire arms on a metal frame is adjustable. or if its just the very end thats adjustable. Also I have an astigmatism.. and wondering if the glass will look too thick on wire frame?
Very helpful!
Thank you!!!! It helped me so much
How do I make plastic frames sit higher on my face ? Other than that an excellent plan presentation. Thanks Cool Springs Eyewear.
if you figure this out please let me know... I have plastic frames for the first time in a decade and I am going crazy with that problem. doesn't help that my nose shape doesn't allow the glasses to sit snug on my nose. I am stuck in these for 2 years and I have progressive lens so I have to have them higher for them to work. HELP!?!?!
You can't because they don't have nose pads to adjust.
How do you adjust when one side is closer to the face than the other (crooked horizontally)?
Have you heard anything about axis and how to adjust them on the glasses?
