Good job. This was good information that was interestingly provided in a light-hearted way. I'll let my Optician make the adjustments this time since my glasses are new. Next time that I need a minor adjustment and after I view a couple more videos, I might give adjusting them myself a whirl. Thank you!

Well, what can I say. THANK YOU. I have just found you and thank goodness I did and thank goodness you put out that yearly video 😂 I wear prescription glasses but I do buy el cheapo for around the house, in pockets, you get the picture. I can honestly say that any glasses I have, had, do the slip slide away UNTIL... I bought a pair of non prescription from a company called 'tiger specs' I am so pleased with the vision but I thought the frames were too big.... Not anymore, after your explanations I realised I actually have the best fitting frames I've ever had and they do not move even when I've plastered my face with cream😮 (you have to at my age 😢) The old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" doesn't work with me and I was looking for videos to fix them 😂😂 not anymore, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, I'm not touching them 😂😂

Great advice on frame fit, particularly the spring effect on acetate frames that cause the nose sliding situation. I have a pair of uber solid acetate frames that I need to try this magic on. Be great to have a vid on safely heating acetate frames for those of us that don’t have access to an optical wizard such as yourself.

Thanks for this great video! I have been adjusting my own glasses for years now, but I still often have the sliding down the nose issue because I find that if I bend the arms to fit snug on the ears it really hurts behind my ears (feels like a vice around my head after a couple of hours). I have a ski slope type nose (not much of a bridge) so I think that might be part of my problem as well. I always wear acetate frames as opposed to metal. I was wondering if the little silicone pads might help prevent the sliding down.

@ThatGlassesGuy03 7 ай бұрын

You’re welcome!! So, they help but in your case won’t be enough as those stick on pads still won’t make enough contact with the bridge to matter. A frame designed for this type of fit, or at minimum built up pads to make the fit proper in the first place are key. TC Charton makes frames specifically for this type of bridge, and once you’ve worn one it all just clicks 🥂

could u explain why the method at 21:20 help? I tried to visualize, but if it sits higher at the temple, wouldn't it shift the front downwards? i'm having so much anxiety from glasses and honestly there aren't any optometrists that are good at making adjustments, they can only do basic adjustments. please help me. I have tried shifting the nosepads inwards closer tgt so that they sits higher, tried bending the temple only behind the ears, shfiting the temple legs inwards so that the glasses doesn't fit too wide or too narrow (the glasses should touch slightly at the region just in front of the ear right?), also tried bending the back of the temple to perhaps an 80 degree which it doesn't works, but 30 to 45 degree doesn't works as well. I'm not sure what else can I do. i can't pinch the nosepads closer to the frame as in 19:35 as the top of the frame are already touching the bone below my eyebrow.

@ThatGlassesGuy03 Жыл бұрын

it's about shifting the overall blaance point of the frame so there is less weight on the front :) Think of it like a teeter totter and moving the pivot location based on where you sit rather than just at the end. Similiar concept :)

@rainbow20112011 Жыл бұрын

If there is no contact whatsoever between the frame and the sides of the nose, does that mean that eyeglass frame is not the correct size for that person?

@ThatGlassesGuy03 Жыл бұрын

Not necessarily. A bad fit for sure, but that doesn’t always mean the frame size is the problem.

@@ThatGlassesGuy03 If a plastic eyeglass frame has a metal wire running inside its temple arms, does this mean that it's easier for an optician to "adjust" the temple arms so that the frame fits better or more comfortably on the wearer's head?

@ThatGlassesGuy03 4 ай бұрын

@rainbow20112011 most acetate frames have this, and yes generally it helps the temples hold shape depending on the corewire material. Of course if the frame front is a low grade material that will still flatten easily and cause problems.

I bought me some metal frame sunglasses from a website and it slipped down my nose and the nose pads where to wide. So i tried doing the fixes and after 1 hour and about 100 adjustments, out of frustration and i literally just grabbed the sunglasses and with both hand just bent them in half and thru them on the trash. $80 wasted. But im sorry, but there comes to a point where nothing i could do made the glasses better, and it only made them worse and introduced more isssues, like at the end it was crooked ok face that wasnt there to start. But i know some of the adjustments are easy. But most are super complex even though there not explained as such. Like for example bending the back of the arms so it wont slide down face. Seems easy and simple right? But like with me, you can bend up or down, but you can also bend left or right and twist its verticality. Which nobody mentions. And not bend on purpose this way, but you can mess that angle up when just bending the end of the arm up or down, or they can come to you bent left or right from straight vertical. So that was something i needed to know how to make it straight vertical. Next the damn nose pieces on the metal frames i had. Hard AF to adjust without any tools, but i had a tool and still hard. Literally the nose pads is hardest of all the adjustments even with tool. Because when i adjusted nose pads, you also can bend in or out and you can bend forward or backward and up and down. And when i bent the nose pads in, the tool i used squeezed it and pulled the nose pads in towards face. That little tony like u shape that the metal nose pad has, completely got stretched and pulled in towards face when i didnt try to do that. But like i said 1 hour of hell and living nightmare broken record of doing same adjustments over a hundred times and looking in mirror after each adjustment and seeing it get worse and worse and nothing can help it get better, i had to throw away day one brand new sunglasses. And i literally could careless that i wasted all the money on them. I was HAPPY to throw them away, because it freed me from the hell of having them. And i know someone would say "why didn't u just go to an optician and get them adjusted by them?". Excellent question, the reason i didnt do that , is because i dont buy brand new sunglasses and expect i have to go get them adjusted. So that defeats the purpose of why i buy online, its because i dont like to go out. But bottomline is, i say this to say, that , adjusting glasses is not easy and they need to have a school to learn this stuff. Its a skill. Because really, the goal is to get it as close to perfectly symmetrical as possible. Like if i bend one arm at the hinge, how do i know i will make same measurement adjustment on other side? Its literally impossible to know "ok , i went like 2mm wide on left arm, and now let me make the 2mm wide on right arm." Its no way. And also what pissed me off is, i have bougjt same frame but with different color lens and they fit me strsigjt out the box and no adjustment needed. So i know from factory they come correct. I know these frsmes they sent me was bent and adjusted for someone already. But, seriously. I need to see a video of metal avatar metal frames and how to ajust them for any and every major possible problem. Like i said, i havent seen anyone say if the vertical is off in arms how to adjust and not make it worse. And show like the best basic tools and where to buy on Amazon so we can have the basics in tools to use. But for me now, im done buying any sunglessse ever again, im just happy that the one pair i bought online was perfect out the box and the factory knows how to make them fit for most people. And i had bought another pair of same metal frames and this time the sides where to tight, like someone bent the hinges in for someone with a skinny head. And so again i had to try to adjust that. That i did an okay job. But i still see its not perfect like the other pair i have. It was not only ajusted at hinges in. But i see the part that goes over ear was also bent in so it pinched on my head. So ajusting it out at hinge was not easy for me but did as good as i can do there. Now the part over ear im trying to bend out . but tjat seems impossible. Its like again, a no win thing. But i got it better then the start. But i know if i push it and try to get rhat one arm the plastic part that goes over the metal thats over the ear, if i try to get that weird bent out snd bend it out so it's straight, i know i will end up throwing these away. So i stopped and i know it needs to be adjusted more, but im just going to have to live with that ear bent in weird when rhe other side is good. But i need like a class to teach all the details of this. Because mainly i see nobody talks about all the directions of adjusting. They just say Up or Down, In or Out. But i need someone to tell the Left and Right of the verticalness of it and the Forward and Backward adjustments to the main Up and Down and In and Out. But this had got me PTSD from trying to adjust this crap. When not all the adjustments that can go wrong are not addressed ✌️

@ThatGlassesGuy03 4 ай бұрын

I actually go far more in depth than most anyone and have what could easily be built into a class in my adjustment playlist (in fact most of my adjustment videos get ridiculed for being too damn long and too much talking due to this). However, your idea of everything needing to be symmetrical is SO far off base, very few people have perfectly symmetrical heads so the idea is to adjust the glasses according to the individuals head. You will never find glasses to fit perfectly off the shelf because of this. Regardless, at least you got some joy out of them in the end with what I hope was a slam dunk into the trash can 😂. For something that’s more “ok” off the shelf look at something like Maui Jim, you’re going to pay more but most of their frames under $250 have grip points built in so they’re more off the shelf ready to wear than average. At least in regards to falling off. Roka would be a close second. Good luck in the future 🥂. At the minimum you understand the value of a good opticians skill set to properly adjust glasses. And to think some people laugh and walk out because I charge for adjusting their glasses because “x place” did it free. Y’all keep getting that free adjustment. Fine by me. 👌🏻😂

And people are idiots if they get butt hurt if someone charges them to adjust the frames.

I have acetate frames and I feel mine sit to far from my face..

@ThatGlassesGuy03 Жыл бұрын

That should’ve been addressed before ordering ideally. But too far is entirely relative, and dependent on facial structure. Anywhere between 8 and 18mm away from the face is totally within an acceptable range. An acetate frame can be shaved down for a closer fit, but I can promise you most shops won’t go that far.
