Warning: Please be careful when using extremely hot water & certain lens coatings
Only upload that shows how to lower the bridge on plastic frames. Absolute gold. Thank you.
This was exactly what I needed! My new glasses were too loose, so I went back and had them tightened at the shop. However, when I got home and wore them for a while, I felt that they were then too tight. I was embarrassed to go back once more to the shop, so this video was just what I needed. Thanks so much!
Duuude!!! This video is a lifesaver! I kept ordering frames online and turned out all 3 frames were bent inward at the center. Stretch them out. Problem solved. They now fit like a glove. Gracias!
Just got my first designer pair and widened them using this method without heat but ever SO slightly adjusted them and it is perfect! Exactly what I needed. Thank you. Those inner wires inside plastic frames do adjust to slight pressure and stay where you want them.
Just got new glasses and I didn't want to have to return them, this video helped me make them fit correctly, thank you
I had no idea this even existed! Been walking around with loose glasses for many many months and watching them fall down the stairs because they're way too loose. Thank you!
This video is exactly what I needed! My frames were too tight along the sides of my face, and this is the only video that I could find for adjusting it at home! My boyfriend had to do it for me, though, because I was too scared I would break them! 😅 Thanks so much for the excellent tutorial!
that cause you have the head like a melon
Omg I wish my bf wasn’t out of state rn cuz that’s exactly what I told him, too! I’m too scared to do it myself! LOL. Sometimes you just need some giant man hands, right?! Haha. Glad it worked for you. Wish me luck! 😖
Bro. You saved my money, this video actually works
this is so helpful! knowing that I can see how the glasses fit and adjust them as needed rather than worrying about going back and forth to the doctor's office is such a relief. thank you
Great tutorial, well explained, and easy to follow for home adjustments 👍
I tend to buy cheap glasses online a lot, and they’re often a bit wonky-shaped or too tight. This is such a good tutorial for how to fix them. Thanks so much!
I have looked at a lot of glasses vids and this is the best!
I never thought a warm water and some pressure can instantly adjust almost every part of the frame! Amazing! Thank you!
you r a rockstar. My glass frame became loose (slept with it) and was annoying me. came across your video. thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you my friend. Excellent tutorial. Very happy viewer from across the pond 🇬🇧👍🏽
Thank you for this tutorial! This helped with my plastic frames.
You're welcome!! So glad to hear that!
Thank you, this saved me!! No more slipping or falling embarrassing glasses moments ❤❤❤❤
😱 OMG, thank you so much. I did it and it worked. My glasses were sitting for a year and thought I could never use them again. Thx again.😊
So happy we could help out :)
This was really helpful and clear. Thank you!
Thank you, I’ve just followed and fixed the way my glasses rest on my face! Excellent! Thank you 😅
Thank you for the straight to the piont video
Don't put the lens in hot water, especially if you got them from America's best. Both of my glasses have coating on the lens that now has what they call hazing. Apparently the anti reflective coating can't be exposed to extreme, or excessive heat. I never even put them in water or left them in sunlight or wore them in the shower, nothing. They warrantied them but I still had to pay a deductible but then it happened again, to both pair. I never put anything on them and always used the clothe they provided. So frustrating
America's best is trash , and paying for less . Go to designer optics.
Im thinking its the anti reflective coating no matter who puts it on! I had the same problem! The lenses looked like water does with a bit of oil on the surface! That kind of mottled looking spots hazing whatever! It sucked and the lenses were trashed as i could see the spots looking thru them!
Great tip ty so much😊
Hot water is the best. You CAN and shouldn’t overheat them. Hot water for limited time will allow you to pop the lenses out if you need to without damaging the lense.
Obviously, you don’t need boiling water. Just tap is fine. If it’s a little bit uncomfortable for your hands, then that’s fine. Or just let them cook longer.
If you use a blow dryer etc. it’ll make your lenses look like they were sitting on the dash of your car and it also weeps all the oil out of plastic glasses and makes them look horrible.
Hot water is definitely the best. Depending on how your hot water is set up if they’re plastic glasses, you may want to do hot and add a little bit of cold and just go longer.
For adjusting the bridge like this guy is doing you can just run the bridge directly under the tap and make sure the water isn’t hitting the lense. Go longer on the bridge, so it heats up to the core because it’s a lot thicker and you’ll crack it otherwise. Work smarter not harder.
No matter what you do you’ll make your lenses look like they were left on the dash if you’re not careful with the heat and how long you apply it.
I work with extremely high heat steamers to clean off gold polish etc dental stuff. I steam my lenses clean.
The key is I let them build up zero heat and move fast.
Thank you. I don't see how I can buy you a coffee. This advice is worth it 🌞
Thanks very much for the concise perfect tutorial. Sure wish I’d seen this before breaking my other ones!!!
Take your lens out 1st before doing this..but it does work
Thank you and worked! Adjusted my prescription sunglasses from online order and this is exactly what I needed. Much appreciated and be safe out there...
thanks! I used this for my new glasses and worked great!
A really nice delivery style, nice flash bang wallop I coming at you guys or annoying music - just delivering the information that we are seeking, thank you.
WOW Thank you so much this is the best tip video made about how to make your glasses loose l have been wearing them since l was 5 and until now l always sulfured from miss fit glasses and as l watched this video l was relived from my pain of side tightness which l felt pressure on my left and right veins around my ear ! so thank you so much for helping me! if you have similar problems pay attention to the video you can solve it by adjusting the middle of your frame !
Omg you are amazing! I just did this within a few mins and it worked! Thank you so much.
Wonderful video with super useful info... Thank you so much
Great tutorial
Exactly what I needed to know.
Thank you!! Fixed mine in like 2 seconds of them falling off my face!! Thanks!!
It really worked in no time! Thanks
Thank you so much for this video, so kind + thoughtful of you! It was so well explained, that even I was able to do it myself! Thanks again. 😊
Great video, thanks a lot ! My frames are tightened 👍🏾
You should warn people about what constitutes “steaming, hot water” so that optical coatings don’t get damaged.
Just ruined the coating on my lenses because the water was too hot. Don't use water that is too hot. learn from my mistake
Do you mean multi coated lens? My glasses doesn't have one it only has the uv protection so im not sure if my glasses were damaged
That's what happened to mine ugh
I wish I saw this comment. Just got new glasses today and they're ruined. On top of that, the bending didn't work at all
Wow - This worked perfectly! Thank you!
This is very helpful! Thank you! (Also, you sound just like John Krasinski! I was shocked)
Thank you, this worked perfectly
Any thoughts when they slide off your nose, or that says they need to be tightened around the temples ?
This is very close to my goal in bending my frames. Because I have a prism in my prescription, my attempt to fill different frames with a "wrap," has been turned down by my provider. I am left to purchase a "flat" frame, and then bend it myself at the nose bridge to hopefully attain a wrap. I cycle, and I need a wrap lens for better eye protection. Wonder if anyone is in the same predicament, and if you turned a flat frame into a wrap with substantial curvature.
Man thanks a lot I truly appreciate 🙏 🙌 ❤️
Thanks I almost gave up on my Oakley's till I saw your vid
it helped me,thank you
Thank you
Thanks for the info! Question: is it OK if I bend only the tip of the temples? Because that’s where I feel the pressure in my head, so I want to straighten them.
I'm wondering if there's frame extenders ...to add near the hinges to make the frame wider? If not, there's your million dollar idea.
What frame is that?
Thank youu! This definitely helped widen my narrow frames 🤓
So happy to hear this was helpful for you :)
TY ❤
What is the temperature of the water?
I’ve had no luck in adjusting the frame on my New Wayfarer frames from Ray Ban. The stems don’t have a wire in them. And , if I’ve read correctly these Italian made frames are made of nylon. Nylon is processed at very high temperatures. Any suggestions?
The New Wayfarer is the same process but needs to be much hotter. If you can't get to an optical where they use frame warmers that get very hot. You can try a blow dryer and concentrate the heat. I highly recommend going to an optical with that frame, you don't want to damage your lenses.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH
My glasses were giving me a headache because of the pressure. It worked.
Be very careful if you’re using a heat gun. I melted my glasses lol and they wrinkled. It also effected the finish on my black glasses
Well damn. Now my lens is all messed up. It’s like smudged and won’t clean up…
Mine to
The hot water damages the coatings on the lenses.
@@lisamiller3581Your's TOO?👶
thank you!
How do you know when glasses are simply too small or if you just need to widen the temples or bend the bridge out?
Where can I get the alignment chart?
Was of great help
Thank u so much
Thank you very much!
I have a big face & head lol this is awesome! Thank you
doesn't hot water damage the coating on the lense though? it's better if you dont put the hot water on the lense
Thank you.
Thanks bro❤❤
How can I do it with a wooden frame?
I the lenses are tinted does it mess up the tint to put them in the warmed water? Can anyone who sees this answer if you know?
Doing gods work sir, thank you
Super! Thanks
Thanks
Good video it worked
will the lens damage after heating by hot water?
Yes, heat can damage the coatings on your lenses. If you have a plastic frame, it is advised to pop out the lenses first and then heat them up to do the adjusting.
Mine is not working. I have no metal frame in mine
This ruined my glasses as the water I used was too hot and it has ruined the coating on my lenses!!
same
Do you mean multi coated lens? My glasses doesn't have one it only has the uv protection so im not sure if my glasses were damaged
@@ev6377 Most polycarbonate lenses are UV protected with no coatings. The coatings they're probably talking about are the anti scratch coatings and the anti-reflective coatings that most glasses have.
@@mymak-jq1hy so for poor folk like me that got the basic bitch lenses, we're alright to use super hot? Because I used steaming hot and it didn't work.
Use a hair drywer
I warm up the arms with a hairdryer
I always have to push my glasses to the point of almost breaking.
My lense that I put in the hot water is now fuzzy looking. Why is this?
The hot water damages the coatings on your glasses. You were supposed to pop the lenses out before adjusting them.
so helpful god bless
❤
I put my glasses in an hot water abs those are ruined. 😡😢

It will loosen in 2-3 days as before.
Noooo, dont do it, your glasses crooked itself for a reason on its own by sitting on your face, adjusting to your head shape.
I wish i hadnt touched mine in such way, now its fucking wobbly and shit. Dont do anything to your glasses. Its plastic, it adjusts in time
Hi , i just received a pair of nike 7015 frames it says cold insert but they are too loose and nose bridge is too gapped , how would i go about doing cold insert frames ?
Thanks very much for the concise perfect tutorial. Sure wish I’d seen this before breaking my other ones!!!
Thank you!
