In this video we will show you how to make any of the necessary adjustments to make your glasses fit you perfectly.

My heart stopped at every "slightly bending"

[@fabiomora6491]

She: slightly bend Me: sees her almost folding the frame on half...

I just got new glasses and they have been too loose since I got them befor the pandemic hit .. hoefullyall I I need to do is bend the arms a little better

[@markbrown5255]

I've been wearing glasses since 13 months old. Your video has changed my life. It took me 5 minutes to do 2 frames that the optometrist made worse trying to adjust. Now the both fit and I'm so happy to see and see comfortably. Thank you so much

[@mallorymurphy2678]

All my life I have literally struggled with wearing any type of glasses whether sunglasses or eyeglasses... I think it’s because one of my ears is a little higher than the other, so EVERY SINGLE PAIR I have ever gotten-have ALWAYS been crooked. Until now. This is an awesome tutorial on how to adjust them in every way, very detailed, yet extremely simple that anyone could do it. Seriously. Thank you so so much.

[@eyetalk1485]

Hello, I am glad you liked this video! It is so easy to adjust glasses to fit perfectly is you just know how. I am happy you adjusted your glasses, there is nothing worse than crooked glasses! Keep up the good work, and let me know if you have any questions. Eye Talk team

[@eyetalk1485]

@@iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Hello there, it will not affect that, the PD and OC will still be in the same general position, unless the adjustment is extreme. But it also depends on where these points were originally measured.

[@1jlw]

This video was thoroughly helpful in solving my problem. It pointed out the exact fixes to adjust my glasses. I thought my problem had to do with the stems of my glasses but this video pointed out that my problem had to do with the bridge of the glasses. Thank you very much for that fix, because it worked perfectly. The only thing I think you can improve on is to use a hair drier in your video and not the professional machinery you have. I also heated my plastic frames for one minute in the areas that needed adjusting. If the give wasn't enough I would heat it for another minute. I also held it in the position that I wanted until the frame section cooled so that it couldn't bend out of place or slowly creep back into the position they were in. Thank you for the video. It was way beyond helpful.

[@dynoreed7235]

Thank you for sharing this. Between the video and your added information I fixed my glasses!

[@ronster149]

Thank you for the excellent advice. I always thought they tightened screws somehow to make them fit better. I had to adjust my temple tips and that made a huge difference! I didn't have a heat machine or hair dryer so I held them under hot water for a minute or so and that did the trick. Thanks a million!

[@Chewtie]

Im so glad you talked about curving the bridge. No other tutorial i looked at helped me with that in regards to my own pair, but this one did. Finally was able to fit them correctly after months of wearing loose glasses.

[@eyetalk1485]

Hello! Glad to help, in my opinion every part of your glasses needs to be adjusted to get the perfect fit. Never settle for anything less than perfection when it comes to your vision or your frames! Let us know if you find yourself with any questions. Eye Talk team

Finally, a useful guide on adjusting frames. TY!

[@LatherScreamRinse]

I tried the hairdryer suggestion on high heat, but low. Worked really well. My glasses were slipping off my nose. I also used a pair of small needle nose pliers and covered the tips with rubber bands to keep it from scarring the plastic and gave good grip. Thanks for the tutorial, it worked well.

[@Emiliapocalypse]

Thanks for the rubber band suggestion! I have a pair of pliers that I rubber coated the business end of, but of course I can’t find them when I need them. Now I don’t have to wait until they resurface. :)

[@user-db1ec2lw4w]

Thank you so much!! My glasses were a lot crooked but with your tutorial, I was finally able to fix them! Sadly, my other pair didn’t work. I’m of course trying again, since your tutorial actually worked. But thank you so much! All the other tutorials never worked, no matter how many tries I did.

[@eyetalk1485]

Hello! I am excited you were able to adjust your glasses, to me there is nothing worse than when your glasses do not fit properly. I see alot of glasses “hacks” videos online, and I just have to sadly shake my head at most of them. Let me know if you have any other glasses related issues. Thank you for watching. Eye Talk team

Thank you so much! You saved me a fortune on new glasses! You gave very clear and thorough instructions. Very much appreciated.

[@everbetter8590]

Thanks for this video! Just picked up some new frames and adjusted them myself in a few minutes with a hairdryer. If you have one lens sitting lower than the other, adjust the low side's temple tip down and that will even them out.

[@MakeupMobster]

Omg thank you for this video! My glasses feel brand new! I keep falling asleep with them on and I guess over time they got bent! I am fixing every pair of glasses that I own! Ok if you’re using a heat gun be very careful not to bend too much or too fast and not to heat too much or you will get wrinkles

Fantastic video- Thank you so much.

[@NickyNicest]

Thank you so much!! I have been struggling to find a pair of glasses that look good and fit my large head properly. Tried so many on and Finally found a pair I really liked but they kept slipping down my nose. Took them in for an adjustment and they did bend the temples a bit but didn’t help much. I noticed the frames were pretty flat and arms bowed out a bit so tried bending the bridge and it worked!! Definitely going to need more than 10 seconds tho unless you have a super hot hair dryer. I put it on hot low and did it for about 2 minute. Repeat until you get the desired fit. Only thing you should consider is it may impact how your lenses fit. When I popped mine back in you can see a bit of the top of the lenses. BC realistically you are going to bend the frames where the lenses sit as well which may be more curved than the lenses themselves. It’s really nbd but If you are putting a big bend in your glasses (which you definitely should not be doing) then you might have issues. But if you’re bending them that much then you bought glasses that were too big to begin with.

Sorry to deflect from the subject matter but I love this person's overall style!

Thank you for this video! For the first time, I am planning on buying prescription glasses online, and I am switching from metal (with adjustable nosepads) to plastic frames (no pads). My current glasses are 48-17-135. The new ones I would like to buy are 49-15-135. So, smaller bridge, but when I tried them in store they slid anyway. I have a small face, so glasses sliding is a real concern for me. Do you think that going from my current specs to the new specs is doable, even if the glasses slid in store? I have a hard time finding out what would be an acceptable range of specs: can someone go from a 17 bridge to a 20, or from 17 to 15, for example? Thank you for any advice!

[@laurenf2260]

Life changing. Thank you!!!

[@kalip8963]

GUYS THIS ACTUALLY WORKS I TRIED IT W/MY HAIRDRYER AND IT FIXED MY GLASSES

[@debbyford1623]

Thank you SO VERY MUCH for making this video!! I watched this April 20, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. I had a barely used pair of frames, I'd had, converted to readers. They were the perfect shape short-rectangle shape that allows me to peek over the top for distance viewing without a lens. I had got them back to pick up, and NOW someone had decided to bow-out the arms of the frames!! They looked like were meant to fit someone ELSE'S very LARGE, ROUND head!! First of all, my head is not "over-sized," nor is it overly-round like a bowling ball. I said immediately, that they wouldn't fit me without falling off! I explained that THIS was NOT how I had left my frames!! These "arms" were actually STRAIGHT. So fast forward a month and they were getting "loose." A half month longer and they were literally falling off my face if I happen to look straight down. NOT good if I'm cleaning toilets!! Luckily I realized the "icky danger" I was facing and took them off!! They really started to feel like the arms of my glasses were sticking out wide enough that I had to make sure the arm was sitting on my ear next to my head, where they belong and not on the outside of my entire ear...like I'm a tiny little kid wear glasses of an adult. I have watched the folks that usually do this at my eye doctor's office, however, watching your video gave me the details that I needed to do this "safely." (I had no idea that the heat could damage coatings on the lens!) So THIS is a perfect example of why your videos are needed here!! Again, thank you so very much!! I hope you and your loved ones are all staying well and not sick with this horrific virus. (And to everyone reading this as well!)

Thank you for providing this NICELY detailed and informational video!👍 Last October, I was prescribed eyewear for the first time. Although I love my new glasses, I could not figure out how to properly increase tightness. Your demo-glasses, requiring the Nose-bridge bend (Missing Arch/Curvature) is MY EXACT ISSUE! After watching that video portion, I put them on, carefully applied equal pressure to both sides of the frame to simulate the acute nose-bridge bend; FELT SOLID! I Would like to correctly perform the Mod' on my Oakley Marshal MNP (Modular Nose Pads). I have two questions: 1. I don't have a hair dryer, but is my Heat Gun safe for use, on a lower temperature setting? 2. My nose pad(s) are detachable. Would you recommend removal prior to the procedure? I HOPE You do not mind answering my questions. I appreciate any response / guidance! Have a GREAT DAY! 🙏🏽
