HOW TO ADJUST PLASTIC GLASSES | How to Adjust Glasses at Home

[@triggerwarned]

Thank u. I got my glasses in store but I lied and said they fit because I'm super awkward and now they've been annoying me ever since

[@naomicrass]

Hahahhahaha I can 100% relate

Me... right now 😂

Cmon man. Don't be a stereotype. Break the mold! Be bold!

[@1mol_wAter]

4 years later you’re still helping people. Adjusted my glasses with hair dryer, thank you! (Was going to make sure because online article said absolutely no hair dryer but I think it’s ok lol)

[@mikeferris408]

Saved me 1 1/2 total driving time and probably 20 minutes waiting at the eye clinic, in total you saved me at least 2 hours and about 6 bucks in gas and on my Saturday off....... PRICELESS! 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you.

[@djrutherford3926]

I wasn't able to pop my lenses out so I just covered the lenses with a small microfiber cloth when I was heating up the eyeglass frames. I used the hair dryer on the lowest setting for 10 seconds for each part of the frame I wanted to adjust, and it worked perfectly. He didn't mention it but you can also loosen your eyeglass temples with his methods.

[@user-ym7ou5rd7y]

Idk how i feel about popping the lenses out 🥺

[@arianna654]

same, do not trust myself with that. plus i feel like i'd be paranoid after and think they're going to break or something!

[@user-ym7ou5rd7y]

@@arianna654 yes! i have some sunglasses that the lenses popped out and they never went in the same!

[@kecola]

The minute he said that I was like nope. My glasses are brand new but even if they were old glasses it's still a nope.

[@snake1625b]

Don't take the risk

[@tammygerstman3368]

As an optician, I do not recommend doing any of this. Especially popping out the lenses. Trust me an actual lens with a script in especially a strong script DO NOT pop out that simple. Thick frames, strong scripts, yeah they don't go in or out like that. And that is not how you check to see if they are level. So please, please leave the adjusting to a professional. We would rather do it right than have to correct mistakes. Plus, the more you heat your frame the more of a risk for breaking it.

[@Jassdexter09]

This helped so much I ordered my classes online and with the virus going around I had to make the adjustment from them sliding down my nose myself. Thank you

[@sarabethmattis6099]

That is exactly why I am here too.

[@MRBRAZILLIANKING]

I have same issues with mine, it kept slipping off my nose also. Due to the virus that's been going around I dont wanna go in to any places at this time. I might have to try bending the curve part to hook onto my ear more so it won't slip off my nose. Hope it works. 👍

[@naomi7984]

It works! Yay! My glasses kept sliding down my nose and now they stay put! I skipped removing the lens (only adjusted the bend at the temple) and I pointed the blow dryer at the frame for about 20 seconds (I have a low power hair dryer). Thanks!

[@papl20]

I was about to ask that because I do not want to risk damaging the lens. Nothing happened to yours?

[@naomi7984]

@@papl20 Nope, nothing. I assumed that as long as I'm just adjusting the bend of the temples, there's no point in removing the lenses. But if I do fix the other parts he talked about, I'll definitely remove them, I don't want to risk distorting them or overheating them and whatnot.

[@calmblueocean1177]

Recently I experienced pinching behind my right ear caused by my new eyeglasses frames. I returned to where I bought them, they made a slight adjustment, but the problem wasn’t solved. So I searched on KZbin and found this tutorial. I filled a bowl with kettle boiled water. I dipped the eyeglass arm (10 - 15 seconds at a time) into the hot water. I carefully made adjustments. Now FINALLY my eyeglasses are comfortable. No more annoying pinch. thank you very much! 😃 👍

[@CARMINBLACK]

This just fixed my glasses! WOW! Thank you so much. I can actually type, look down, and my glasses not fall off. Thanks again!!

[@SarahSunbeemz]

just did this, what a godsend! Like many others, I got glasses during the pandemic and this has helped m,e so much. My glasses are actually staying on my face

[@paigerowe1090]

How strong is your script? Saw another comment that said don’t do it with a strong prescription and my sons is really strong but the back of his frames need bent so they stay behind his ears. I don’t want to pop the lenses out if they don’t go back in right!

[@romanticidexx]

I love that you're using the exact same frames that I'm trying to fix (generic visionworks), but for whatever reason, I can't seem to fix the over extended arm. I fell asleep on them with one of the arms open, so they were bent under pressure for hours 🤦‍♀️ I've used both a hairdryer & hot water, & was able to fix most of the bend, but the last little bit just won't go 😭

[@elizabethleslie]

Thank you for this video! I just spent 45 minutes watching 3 X 15 minute videos about how to do this (via one method!) on another channel. It took 30 seconds to understand how by watching yours.

[@conniestary4499]

I bought my glasses online and they are a little loose. I'm thankful for this video. I'm looking forward to having glasses that fit. Thank you for this video.

[@richabengani]

Thank You soo much!! I was getting irritated with my frame for the past 5 months!! Your video made me realise it is such an easy DIY!!

[@amypolzella8349]

Ty! While I got my frames locally we have been in there several times for adjustments and sometimes you can't tell if it's going to be too tight or too loose until you were them for a little while. With all 4 of us getting 2 new pairs we have been in there a lot -_- I just had them adjust mine last night and I kept telling him they were crooked and didn't feel right. I thought he was getting frustrated with me so I said forget it and told myself I'd have someone else adjust them when I went back to get my 2nd pair that they had to reorder. ANYWAYS it was making me so annoyed to have them sit crooked on my face and with this video I fixed it in 30 seconds. Wish I had seen this before when my daughter's were too loose and kept needing adjusted.

[@baselshishani5575]

2:44 "From there you just use some force, and the lenses will snap back in" - It was terribly hard to push the lenses back in when I first tried. The trick was to push evenly from all sides and not try to push in one side first. If working just on the temples one can wrap the lenses with a cloth maybe to protect them from heat. Other than this the video was very helpful - thanks.

[@zinwaiyan6474]

2:44 is also terribly hard for me to push the lens in. Even still now cant push back in Now I am using the phone without glasses

[@zinwaiyan6474]

It is okay just right now. I put heat and push the lens back

[@baselshishani5575]

@@zinwaiyan6474 If you push in one side then try to push in the other side then it's hard. The trick is to push all sides evenly and it should be alright. Also if the lens and frame opening are not perfectly matched it's hard. I guess applying heat to the frame would help too like you did.

[@zinwaiyan6474]

Thanks

[@romanticidexx]

Thankfully I had the opportunity to watch the professionals at visionworks struggle for 2 HOURS trying to pop the lenses back in (the frame color was wrong so they gave me the frames off the display & had to switch the lenses). I had to come back the next day so someone else could do it 😆 Needless to say, I will never ever be popping the lenses out of my glasses! At least not on purpose lol. have the exact same frames as the video, but my lenses are -8.00 & only medium-slim, so the lenses are THICK, between 1/4th & 1/2 an inch 😅

[@cheaperthanapenny]

Thank you so much!! My new glasses kept slipping off after I had worn them in -40 weather. We only get glasses people coming to our community 3-4 times a month so I'd been just not wearing them. This method fixed it!

[@catdog3379]

god thanks I literally had so much head pain cus it was so tight

[@alyssawyant1366]

Thank you!!!!!! I had to use hot water to soften mine, but it worked like a charm and now my stems aren't flaring out anymore and my glasses have stopped trying to run off my face!

[@madimoo89]

This is gold dust! Thank you 🤓👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@robincanestrale7900]

Thanks! Used the dryer method..bought Gucci sunglasses second hand. Fits so much better!

[@JOECorsoNova]

If the arms don’t sit equally on a table and you adjust them on the nose bridge portion, won’t that make the lenses Crocker from top to bottom?

[@lclover77]

AWESOME ...MANY THANKS IT SAVES ME A TRIP TO THE OPTOMETRIST EVERY TIME THEY NEED ADJUSTMENT .CHEERS

[@designoergosum]

It seems too simple, but in fact very helpful, thank you, a beautiful man with a beautiful smile)

So glad we could help Chris :)

need to keep from slipping and WoW worked Great, Easy & Fast ! Thank You Very Much

Would you advise against using a heat gun instead of a hair dryer?

OMYGAD REALLY HELP ME WITH THE NOSE BRIDGE PART!! THANK YOU SO MUCCHHHH

[@BEAUTYFASHIONISTASHAEASMR]

You helped me save my favorite pair of glasses from Zeelool that had gotten so loose and after following your steps I repaired them perfectly than what they were when I first purchased them lol

[@krycek743]

I recently got new glasses and they feel tight on my nose. Is there a way to widen the bridge so that my frame feel as tight on my face?

[@Sig2423]

Omg I just fixed 3 pairs of glasses, thank you so much 🤯👍👏🍾♥️♥️

[@Gingerforlifeeee]

Thanks for posting! My new pair of glasses arrived on Monday in the mail and I love them except the fact that one side tends to pop up where as the other side sits flat on my ear and Behind my ear and the top of my ears are hurting because I had to be in the air pieces down in order for them to stop sliding off my face. What do you recommend I do?

[@39dollarglassesVideo]

Try following the steps at :53

[@wastelandlegocheem]

I just slept on my glasses. The left arm is bending out really bad. Would this work on it? I'm worried about popping em out and cracking them

[@Utubeuser777]

How do you adjust the fixed nose piece on a plastic frame to make it go in tighter on your nose?

[@Little_boy665]

I'm short sighted and can't go without my spectacles, have 2 new pairs I don't wear cos they just don't fit the way I want, will definitely try this😊

Would this work with Ray bans wayfarer??

[@robinrouse6442]

Thank you

[@WOW_____]

I have one question how about when the frames are on the side of your face and are to tight and leaves a mark???

[@jazzman2169]

I'm not sure there's a fix for that. Sounds like the frames may be too narrow. If you have an older pair that aren't like that, check the width and that may be your width requirement. I just learned last year about frame width and arm length when buying glasses and now make sure I look at nothing with a short arm length.

Thank you. Worked

[@wernerhartl2069]

What if one ear is lower? Frame won’t be level with eyeballs. Then frame should only make three point contact with table. Twisting nose piece will put lenses out of parallel.

[@mybestideas1]

Can you do that with Bose frames too?

[@nazrulhassan6310]

Thanks buddy you saved my life

[@LostinMIA]

I left my plastic glasses in a soft case inside my backpack for weeks. My PC was sitting right on top and bent them up. I saw this video, grabbed my heat gun and did exactly what he showed us. Fixed! Yes be careful not to overheat with a gun instead of a hair drier!!!! If it burns your fingers its probably too hot!

[@eddie195777]

If I don't have a hair dryer how can I heat the plastic up? Thanks

[@39dollarglassesVideo]

Hi Edward, you can run your frame under warm water for a few seconds to heat it up.

[@erwin-robinlemonway2940]

Does this apply to acetate frames?

[@Jack-zr2kv]

It worked! Thank you

[@XxMoonLightxX01]

I dont feel comfortable popping the lenses out of my glasses, would i still be able to make the same adjustment even if the lenses were in?

[@39dollarglassesVideo]

We recommend taking out your lenses to prevent any damage to them that might be caused by the hairdryer. Some lenses have special coatings on them, that could potentially cause peeling or cracking by the heat.

[@XxMoonLightxX01]

Oh, ok ill see if i can try to get then fixed, thx

Unfortunately Rebecca, you are unable to adjust that. Just the temples and arms of your frames are adjustable.

[@porozil4068]

What if your glasses is made of really strong material? I'm not sure that mine is made out of plastic, it feels like it's made out of plastic, but no matter how hard I try I can't bend it.

[@genleechoj6546]

I used a heat gun and I still couldn't get it to bend. The frame got really hot where it was only bearable to touch and it still didn't bend. ??? Need help thx

[@johnathanwilliams275]

Thanks very much for sharing. Save me a lot from going into the store. 👏🏼

[@LarryAmos92]

Can you do this without popping lenses out ??

[@39dollarglassesVideo]

Hi Lajm 92 - we recommend popping out your lenses when adjusting your frames, to prevent scratches or effecting any coating you might have on the lens.
