Potter glasses were a symbol in the uk before potter, they were a symbol of being poor. That style of glasses were the basic FREE NHS glasses. So there was symbolism for potter having those glasses was that the Dursleys wouldn’t pay for Harry’s glasses. Things have changed in the last 30 years so there is a range of free frames available.

[@internetfrnd6496]

Optician here - this video was fun af to watch and I typed most of this while watching the video, so I apologize if early bits of my comment are addressed later in the video. 1. If your eyelids are touching the lens, we'll add pantoscopic tilt to the frame front. (Bringing the top of the frame front forward, and the bottom closer to the cheeks.) 2. Everyone's bridge (nose) is a different size and tend to do better with either a saddle bridge design if you have a prominent bridge or nose pads (the name of the part you pointed out in red) if you have a flatter bridge. Change of material can increase grip/comfort plus bringing the nose pads inward or outwards can raise or lower the frame front. 3. The history of glasses is absolutely fascinating and I absolutely recommend you do contacts next! 4. You comments on lens fit are about half right. Two important measurements to keep in mind are your A (horizontal measurement) and B (vertical measurement) of the lens. As an optician, I'm going to measure your PD (pupillary distance - which lines up with the A measurement) and your OC (ocular center height which lines up with B measurement). Any deviations from that can induce prism, and greatly effect how your brain perceives the RX. Things might appear taller or shorter for example. (Look up Prentice's Rule if you like math stuff) 5. Lens thickness is not only determined by the strength of the RX, but also the shape of the frame and what measurements are taken and sent to the lab. Generally - if you have a higher RX stick to smaller and slightly rounder frames. Other general fit tips: 1. Temples are adjustable, but it's still important to find a good fit right off the jump. 2. Whatever shape your face is, generally you want to go with the opposite shape for your frame. 3. Understand your Box System! Almost every frame will have something like this this on one of the temples: "52 14 SQUARE 140 ". The 52 in this case is your A measurement, 14 would be your DBL (distance between lenses/bridge), and the 140 is your temple length for that frame. Unlike a pair of jeans where a size 32 is a size 32, these measurements are based off the LENS inside the frame, not the frame itself. I can hand you 14 frames with the exact same measurements and they will all fit slightly differently. 4. That being said - if you know your PD, you can take the A measurement plus the DBL and that equals your frame PD! As long your PD and the frame PD are pretty close, you'll be able to better narrow down a good fit. TLDR; Optical nerd went on rant, am now late for work after ranting. I freaking love my job and will talk to anyone about it as long as they pretend to listen. Update: I’m now fully licensed as an optician as of a year ago! Going for my advanced certifications this coming January 2025. Nothing has changed - I love this field and I’m in it for the long haul. I’m chronically online when not in office - so I’ll try to answer questions as I get them.

Should I visit my local optician and get the frame refitted? 2: Is there a way to get scratches out of the glass or do I need new glass to get the scratches out? 3: You used the term RX - is that the strength of the lens? 4: Are there more secrets of the trade one should know about or which are just vaguely interesting? Please note: I will actually listen for hours - not just pretend.

Always happy to hear a nerd further elaborate on a fascinating subject. As someone who has worn glasses nearly my entire life, I find it really weird how I've only learned about most of this very recently (though your comment did introduce me to some new information). Like, with how common glasses are these days why isn't it more common to know the option you have with design, fit, and comfort?

[@Suusje1994]

​@@klaernie hey, I'm an optometrist who works at an optician. 1: You can always go to your local optician to have your frame refitted. Like a car, your glasses need some maintenance once in a while, so if they are uncomfortable just swing by. 2: you cannot get the scratches out of the lenses unfortunately. You would change the prescription if you tried. 3: yes, RX is the strength (or prescription) of the lenses. 4: my advise, do you eye measurement in the morning, when you haven't been working or reading a lot. Since you focus quite a lot during the day (accommodation) it can change your prescription which might make you new glasses uncomfortable to look through. And try to get you eyes measured every 2 years, even if you don't notice a blurry vision. A lot of eye diseases progress very slowly and we might prevent it from progressing farther if you come in regularly. Hope this helps 😊

OKAY SO. After I got LASIK, my right eye ended up weakening a fair bit, enough that it was kind of annoying while driving. I ended up getting a prescription monocle and I wore the heck out of it. I was surprised how well it stayed in place after I got the fit right. The other nice part is that I have ptosis (droopy eyelid) in my right eye. With the monocle in place, it felt weird for the first month, like I was forcing my eye open further, but just a little. That might have been due to the orbicularis oculi muscle in that eye just being smaller or tighter than my other eye (I could rotate the monocle 180° and fit it in my left eye, which wasn't quite the right fit for lens placement but the monocle frame was essentially the same for this style, which had protruding wire supports extending from the lens frame along the top and bottom of the monocle, to kind of latch onto the flesh over the bones above and below the eye socket). But when I was wearing it, both of my eyes finally looked like they were open the same amount! Plus, all of my patients (I'm a nurse) could just refer to me as "that guy with the monocle."

As the son of an optician and an ophthalmologist (which, for some reason, gives me authority) the reason why most people hate their glasses is that they pick the glasses that "look nice" over the ones that fit their face/head shape.

Myopic East-Asian here with some help: My glasses pushed against my brow and eyelids (they either slid down, bruised my flat nose or did some combination of both) until I got titanium frames. For some reason ultra-light glasses sit right on my face, but don't clamp down. Half the time I forget I'm wearing them because I feel NOTHING. If anyone (especially if flat-nosed) is having problems with the way their glasses fit, I highly recommend getting an ultralight pair. They tend to be slightly more expensive than regular ones, but they're more than worth it. I used to change my glasses every time my prescription changed (as a kid) but these ones have been keepers. P.S: I HAVE heard that "asian fit" nose pads exist… but they're not commonly sold (at least where I'm from) and I'm fine with my current glasses. P.P.S: If you have that problem where you keep seeing over the rim of your glasses, consider round frames. They're great for your peripherals.

[@maddinar6727]

I also never had this problem. However, after Sabrina said, she didn`t know that the temples can be bent by an optician, I am not surprised. I always got my glasses at a proper glasses store where the employees are opticians. After choosing a frame they take all these measurements and when the lenses themselves are done und fit into the frame, they bend the tmaples and the nosepads so the sit snug but never too tight.

It's also highly dependent on how your glasses are also weighted. Front-heavy fall off very easily. Also people with little eyesight deviation have thin and light lenses, whereas high deviations (like myself) have thick heavy lenses which again make it very front-heavy and can overcome the grip of the nosepads. I wish one could switch the temple grips at the ends for weighted ones to counterbalance heavy lenses

I think one of the dumbest thing about having to wear glasses is when you have to choose your new pair. I have a pretty bad eyesight so every time I try a pair, I have to get real close to the mirror to see how it looks (+ I don't wear it enough time to feel if I'm really comfortable with it). Like... I understand it would be hard to see correctly if the correction lenses aren't made, but I still find it stupid that I can't see what the things I will use to see look like on me

I’m an optician and you should take pictures with multiple pairs of glasses. Then wear your actual glasses to see which ones you like better.

The result was so amazing that when I finally changed my glasses and they stayed on my face as much as any other not-broken-hinges-pair, I kept using them.

[@na195097]

I'm in my late 40's. When I was in grade school and high school, many frames had multiple sizes. I don't mean kids glasses vs adult glasses. You could ask, “does this come in a larger size?” And the answer might be, “yes, it does.” This seemed to stop being true around 1998-2000. Then many more “unisex” styles were introduced. These all worked well for me, since I have a chubby face. I frequently buy men's frames fir the extra width because women's glasses must be dainty/petite.

[@ElijahCem]

I mean I just recently went to get my first pair of glasses and they still had sizes to choose from in the frame style I wanted. I think there were three sizes? And then adjustments as needed of course.

[@Sleepingvampires]

Women's glasses are not petite, they are humongous on my small face. I have bought "petite" glasses once, most stores do not carry them. I end up in the most adult looking youth frames that look good on my face. Glasses do still come in different sizes. I have mostly bought the largest size of youth/children's frames and other times the smallest size in adult frames. The last place I went would only order two pairs for me to try on, which is stupid because they should carry more sizes. I am an average sized woman with a narrow head. Statistically if half their customers are women, and a significate number are children/tweens who don't want to wear cartoon characters, or even men with very narrow faces there should be more smaller sizes in the stores. I do feel like it has gotten worse as I have gotten older. Children's glasses have gotten more "fun", which makes shopping for something grown up harder. I guess I feel like maybe I should be able to fit into say perhaps 1/8 or 1/16 of the glasses in the store to represent my size of what they do business in, but that is not how stores are stocked. At a best guess in a good store maybe 1/32 of the glasses are in my size at worst one place only had two pairs that fit, and they didn't suit my face shape at all.

Glasses also come in sizes and different designs. You would need a certain size for your nose and eyesize for your head width. There are different designs for bridge (nose) depending on race. They also need to be manually adjusted. I’m an optometrist and a glasses designer and have my own brands.

I have recently found your channel and am loving it. That said, please do not water your snake plant every 15th day 😅 You will end up with a dead snake plant eventually, unless your house happens to suit that watering schedule perfectly. I water mine more like once a month. They prefer to dry out completely. A better way to know when to water your plants isn’t by how many days; it’s by how far down the soil is dry. Water a snake plant when you can stick your finger or a skewer into the dirt and it’s dry 80% of the way to the bottom or further. For most houseplants you wait till it’s closer to 50/50, but there are of course plants that need more or less than this. For those who don’t want to stick your finger in the dirt, lift the pot. There will be a significant weight difference between freshly watered and fully dry, you can learn to tell by weight if they need water soon as well. If I pick up a plant and am surprised by how light it is, generally that means it’s watering time! Love the idea of plant apps but unfortunately most of them have this big fatal flaw that leads to overwatering for most plants. They’re still cool for the identification feature though, even if it’s not always perfect. Regardless, I am really enjoying your videos and am subscribing!

Also those weighted cable ones just look cool. Personally, if I got to choose and they werent like computer glasses, which, since you don't have to move all that often you'd that often youd just use a hook attachment. I'd say the cable *loops* not weighted cables are probably the best for not just dropping and smashing. So maybe the combo is just like ear hook for stability + some string you can attach and detach to take them on and off. 24:41 Modify eveerything and always do what the person on the internet tell you to kids. Also just realised all you need in this video is 24:41 and its comparison to other methods attempted + citing other designs and how hard they looked so could've been a 3-5 minute video really but was instead a still entertaining 25 minutes but the point is although yes entertainment helps and it is actually going and learning something that matters (to me) and people are here for if either you don't care about entertainment or you do still care but want to shave the video down you can massively cut down on it by eliminating things which aren't communicating the knowledge someone wants when asking e.g. how do I get my glasses to stay on -> what do I need and how do I know that is what I need. Litterally could've watched this video and bought them on amazon in the time it took to watch this video. But not complaining its an amazing video and I learnt a lot from it and partially from myself watching it. 25:16 ME! TL;DR look up "keep on" or "stopper"/"ear stopper" and "nose pads". Materials idk, what are you allergic to and what has the highest coefficient of friction without harming you/being uncomfortable? So probably rubber I think but idk, there's still even there variation in grip and such. Also "temple tips" You can also probably bend both the stuff that will be on both the nose and the ear in order to get the things on your glasses tighter onto your face. Or... just like get your [] to bend the ear bridges on your glasses for you. (they mentioned this and who [] was in the video but I forgot to note it down.

I actually really like the handmade glasses you did, they had a kind of steampunk vibe to them. Maybe a niche style, but a very cool one if leaned into. Thanks so much for this informative walk through history and sussing out the details that keep the glasses in place!

[@i2G67fLE]

Practical advice regarding fit from a high prescription myopic: know what size you are and make sure your glasses fit that size. To do that, you'll need to know the measurement between the middle of your face/nose and each one of your pupils - this is called the nasopupillary distance (NPD), and if you add both (one for each eye) you'll get your pupillary distance (PD). The easiest way to get this measurement is to ask an optician to take it for you, as they are trained for that and have specialized equipment, but in a pinch you can ask a friend to measure this with a ruler (graded in millimeters). Each eye can have a different NDP, or they might be the same, but either way take note of your PD because that is "your size". Now for the frames' size: there are three numbers on the inside of the frames. The first one is usually the lens width, and it's usually in a 44-62mm range. The second one is typically the bridge width, in a 14-24mm range. Lastly, the arm or temple length is the largest number and varies in a 120-150mm range. To get the frames' size, you need to add the lens width and the bridge width. Now for the important part: make sure that your frames' size match your PD as closely as possible (1 or 2mm up or down is ok too). This ensures that your eyes are centered within the lenses and the frames, and thus don't look too big or too small for you (think of how a baby looks wearing an adult's glasses, or how an adult would look wearing a baby's glasses), and in the case of high prescriptions this is extra important because if your eyes are not centered you will have a lot of lens "leftover" around the edges, which causes physical discomfort due to extra weight and distortion, and also makes your eyes look even bigger/smaller (depends on prescription) from an outside perspective. For example, someone's right eye might have a NPD of 31mm and their left eye 32mm - thus, a PD of 63mm. They should look for frames whose lens width + bridge width is 63mm exactly, or alternatively they might choose to center one specific eye (probably the one with the highest prescription) by choosing frames in a 62mm (which would center the right eye) or 64mm (left eye)"size". This isn't an easy fix like the wingtips in the video (which are highly recommended if your glasses slip off easily), but I hope it helps at least one person get glasses that actually fit them properly the next time they need new frames.

[@izzyellie]

as an optician, this was simultaneously so fun and painful to watch because there are different sizes and styles and you can pretty much adjust everything on your glasses to fit your face perfectly, you just need the right tools and know-who😭😂 but it's super interesting to see what it's like from an outside perspective!!

I'm reading Jung Chang's "Empress Dowager Cixi: The Concubine Who Launched Modern China" and it has this delightful bit about the surprising way in which glasses also helped the Xianfeng Emperor's brother Prince Gong in the 1860's - "leading China's first Foreign Office as well as the Grand Council, got on well with Western diplomats. He was a charming man. The Mitford grandfather, Algernon Rreeman-Mitford, observed that he was 'full of jokes and fun'', even appearing to 'have a flippant manner'; 'My single eyeglass was a real boon to the Prince. Whenever he was getting the worst of an argument, and was at a loss for an answer, he would stop short, throw up his hands in amazement, and pointing at me cry out, "A single eyeglass! Marvelous!" By thus creating a diversion at my expense he gave himself time to consider his reply."

[@Goldphool]

As an optician I've never heard of anything called "Asian fit" (probably because it sounds racist) but I think the bigger issue is the lack of education of Opticians knowing how to fit non-western european faces. Black women didn't just go into any salon in the 1970s and expect a licensed cosmetologist to be able to do their har properly. Because they weren't taught with experience (and sometimes not at all). The same is true with frame fittings. As an Asian optician I know & experience the problems my customer/patients are describing.

Try and get them TIGHT around your skull. Mine do not fall down at all because they’re strongly held at the aides of my head. It’s comfortable like that, too!

I now use planta for my bonsai tree, without this video I should have never heard of them, this is also the first time I actually use a sponsor from a video, keep up the great vids❤❤❤

The fact that Sabrina tried to change his glasses not knowing anything about glasses is really cool

As a glasses wearer I feel so called out by the glasses slipping montage XD Thank you for diving into the history of eye correction! Such a fun and interesting watch!
