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!

[@FlemNmzzzz]

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

[@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!

[@StRaine]

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

[@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.

[@tamarakennedy4976]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@kavirajkevin]

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

[@smashleybreaks]

This video was a TREMENDOUS help! Thanks a million!

[@IndiaDeBoise]

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

[@GantsilyoBaguio]

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

[@damnarse]

Excellent tutorial on frame adjustment.

[@jinxxx6410]

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

[@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!

[@TimHopkins-j8u]

Clear and concise directions. Very helpful.

[@SilverHornet13]

Today, this is the greatest KZbin 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 KZbin (You idiot)!! And wallah. Hair dryer does the trick??? Such a simple thing that I would have never thought about. 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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 😂

[@smashbro5]

Where should I adjust my glasses if one side of the frame is sitting closer to my face than the other side?

[@theconquered]

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

[@dgwoz]

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

[@stephanieroberts1394]

Also adjusting the pantoscopic angle on my oakley transistors. How to do that would be helpful.

[@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.

[@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!!!!

[@plasmadrone3123]

Dear Ehowealth, I have a problem, one of my glasses' temples are too narrow while the other one is fitting perfectly. Basically, the narrow temple feels like it hugs the back of my ears so tight it doesn't feel very comfortable at all. Also, one temple that is too narrow is very straight. Can you give me a help out of it? P.S: It's a metal frame

[@jackjones298]

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.

[@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

[@stephanieroberts1394]

Troy I have a pair of Oakley Transistor frames. How do you adjust the temples?

[@TheKingsOutlaw]

How do you adjust when one side is closer to the face than the other (crooked horizontally)?

[@VedSS-00]

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

[@stroise256]

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

[@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.

[@ajarnthomas]

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?

[@mayalucillo6535]

Is there a way to make my glasses feel a little lighter? Because its a little heavy when when the nosepads are resting on my nose thanks

[@amylillen5193]

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?

[@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..

[@johnmahoney6663]

You are good at this. This video was excellent.

[@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?

[@tedlington]

Kevin Spacey 😃

[@rtrgrl78]

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

[@LemansSunset350]

Def a similarity

[@kalijasin]

I thought he looked familiar 😆

[@lexuspolicarpio6513]

how to set the plasstic frame higher to sit?

[@markagrabowski]

Thanks Troy! Worked like a charm on my plastic frames.

[@cowboysmom]

When I use the hairdryer to adjust the arms of the glasses, am I heating the arm, or the corner front frame of the glass?

[@kalijasin]

Temples*

[@Angel4Prayer]

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

[@caileyalana5327]

What if you have a frame that is all plastic and it sits crookedly on your face? What should I do then?

[@wendypowell4215]

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

[@VerryLongName]

can you use hot water to bend the temples?

[@Baxtexx]

1:46 I have a weird issue here. I have adjuseted my glasses so they aren't crooked, but I think that both my eyebrows and ears are misaligned so it looks like my glasses are crooked.

[@funeralbillii9172]

You need a facial adjustment. Just blow a hot hair dryer in your face for 10-15 minutes and then form your now pliable face to any look you want and wait for it to cool. Congrats!! You now have a new face :)

[@yesterday4893]

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?

[@MsFishingdog]

Great video. Thanks a lot.

[@TAB442]

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

[@billygetz]

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.

[@bobgabriel2685]

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.

[@RicardoCooper]

No mention of temperatures? I have a hot air workstation, what temp do I set it to?

[@Regalskimask]

your voice is so soothing

[@dis_iskyle2404]

This guy is a professional

[@SiameseMan100]

Thanks for sharing these great tips & tricks. Keep up the good work.

[@tnickel2]

What if they hurt behind the ears?

[@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

[@amerkojic9833]

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 👍

[@underthebus5801]

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

[@Rita50]

Have you heard anything about axis and how to adjust them on the glasses?

[@jkinvsb1314]

Can you also bend the bridge so that the glasses become more curved and therefore have a more wrap around look?

[@Tyler-Wiley]

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.

[@stephenmac3105]

How do I stop them sliding down my nose??

[@sjbishopjones]

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...

[@Tyler-Wiley]

Warm water works too.

[@RosarioChambillaCcama-w6s]

高質量的視頻內容！我還有一個問題：有人給我轉了点usdt，我有恢復短語。----------- 我怎麼把它們變現呢？

[@joycelowry668]

Excellent video! Thank you!

[@emmalees4562]

Excellent video. Show me exactly how to fix my glasses.

[@mariamama11]

is it true that you cant use rubber frames when the sun is up because it can easily greak the heat

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Very well done video. Thank you

[@crossxfuse]

my problem is when the glasses are on my face one side (usually the right frame) is sticking out much further than the left one. i'm constantly having to push adjust the right side in but then it feels very uncomfortable. i'm thinking it's a nosepad problem that needs to be adjusted but they seem fine to me.

[@rifleshooterchannel208]

Good info and well presented. Thanks!

[@polster2]

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

[@camarocarl7130]

Great instruction, thanks!

[@Fr3EzE]

I got a circular frame glasses and it's too wide help!!!!! ASAP

[@rosaallanoor8530]

i put my glasses in my pocket when i took them out they were sticking out and became wider how do u fix it? Also it's metal just the ear curve is plastic

[@blueridgepics]

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

[@pureplay2755]

Thank You these tips will save me alot of trouble

[@MsArmanna1]

Thanks a lot for sharing such useful tips..

[@flicker031]

what if the glasses lens are too far off your eyes?

[@jeffwien6460]

What if they are too far off your face? You need them to sit flatter on face...metal frame (aviator)

[@gladywong]

What kind of screw was that

[@starsnavigate]

great video, thanks! you saved me a trip to the optometrist

[@CozyToni]

Perfect, thank you so much for this helpful video!

[@Andy_Hikes]

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.

[@royalty2924Love]

And what is the arms too long. How do I adjust that?

[@eltc79]

Hello Bro Can you show me, how to adjust rimless frames like Minima? thank you

[@jeffreyjhouser]

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.

[@jackgondela]

How do I make plastic frames sit higher on my face ? Other than that an excellent plan presentation. Thanks Cool Springs Eyewear.

[@maryannacole8310]

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!?!?!

[@Tyler-Wiley]

You can't because they don't have nose pads to adjust.

[@harley76girl]

I just got a new pair of plastic frame glasses, and they are too tight behind my ears, making it feel sore. They tighten them before I left the office, but after wearing them a little while, behind my ears are getting sore, how do I losen the temple on plastic frame?
