Zeiss wipes for for the win!!!🎉🎉🎉

We love a good Zeiss wipe 😂 -Haleemah

That violett or purple tint is just amazing.

[@thespectaclefactory]

They look great don't they, we'd love to recreate them for you if you'd like.

[@andresastudisho]

I work sometimes in the field, and in Ecuador, the sun can be a pain in the ass. Using sunglasses definitely helps and reduces the risk of many eye-related complications. Good tips!

[@erxperience]

You are indeed a fantastic advisor, giving us tips and tricks, do's and don't's. I appreciate how you tackle things clearly, helping to see things clearly. I just got my new eyewear and am confident wearing them just like you. 🤓

[@thespectaclefactory]

Awesome! So glad to have helped

[@NeonboiiZ]

Haha love the analogy of not needing shoes but they make life easier. I definitely fall into the camp of choosing not to wear my glasses because 'i don't need them' and don't want to 'worsen my eyesight'. But I've recently gotten a pair of frames that i can confidently say i love and i plan on wearing them as much as i can now

[@thespectaclefactory]

That's what it's about! I'm happy for you

[@robert15john]

The sweet violet tint and frame you are wearing looks absolutely amazing 😎Great advice. Thanks👍

I just came across your channel, I recently bought a pair of prescriptions glasses and I feel like I have made some bad decisions purchasing it. Watched nearly 20 vids from which brands to stay away from to coating and tinting lenses. With all these informative vids, I can’t wait to invest in to my next prescription glasses.

[@thespectaclefactory]

So excited for you - email us at [e-mail] if you need any help

[@koningking8253]

Hi, ive just started wearing prescriptions glasses like 1 month ago, after research (mostly your videos cos you kinda have one of those trustworthy faces 😁) I took zeiss smartlife with duravision silver (platinum is not available in my country😢) however its been a stressful experience, because no matter how careful i am, like only microfiber and zeiss wipes, it still somehow got scratched, its not a big scratch tho, just something that can be seen if you put flashlight on it. It bothers me somehow, I ended up religiously just using water (sometimes with very basic dish soap, just distilled water with surfactant,nothing else) and air duster so nothing will touch the lens. But this got me curious, is (soft)scratches a normal thing when wearing a glasses?or is duravision silver is just not worth the money anti scratch wise?

[@emmavnn_]

Love all of these tips! Can you give an example of the extreme temperature changes? I’m struggling to think when this might be.

[@ELISAFLORIDIA-x4c]

Open the oven door to verify the cooking of the cake !😂

[@terrorsquadlith]

well lets say you have alzheimers and put your glasses in a freezer and when they freeze you take them out thinking it's food and put it in microwave to warm them up

[@mznhdry]

Great helpful & practical video Robert, thank you 🙏🏼 Any specific advice/tips that go along with the multitude of technologies/features that are now available (digital, blue protect, photochromatic, flash, mirror, different lens/frame materials, etc)? Another video, maybe? 🤓

[@capturedphoton]

Could you please do a youtube short on tightening the Reykjavík eyes hinge. I dont think shops in America can help me much with this as they never seen a pair like them.

[@thespectaclefactory]

They aren't really designed to be tightened, because it's a metal on metal joint the material wears over time and loses friction but that doesn't mean it will drop off and it doesn't affect the functionality.

[@capturedphoton]

@@thespectaclefactory okay cool . I'll just adjust it so the lens arms have pressure against my head they are flexible anyways. They are very light 5 grams for the frame 12.8 grams with lenses 1.67. Slight less than modo paper thin.

[@felixmitchell7888]

new glasses wearer two pairs so i should clean them regularly..

[@6276ede]

Glasses are the most useful and visually obvious piece of jewellery you'll ever own...You can have that quote on me for your next video title :)

[@thespectaclefactory]

Nice!

[@TheHi-T]

I found lens wipes to be inconsistent. Right out of the box - some are wet, some are dry. Dry ones scratch up the lenses. Ironically the best are those sold at the dollar store. Instead of using them on my eyewear, I use them on my phone screen. I use water to clean my lenses.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Zeiss ones?

[@TheHi-T]

Zeiss is great. Local shops sell store brands. When I open the individual packs of the store brands, some are really dry. The dollar store brands are consistently wet but I use them for my phone screen. I use water & microfiber cloth to clean my eyewear.

[@gengator4543]

Getting companies that have custom hinge designs are good too if they are well made 😎

[@thespectaclefactory]

@@thespectaclefactory I truly appreciate all of you for making great eyewear content and supporting great eyewear. Excited to see how the custom lens tint comes out on my JMM’s.

[@gengator4543]

@@thespectaclefactory also can’t wait for the staff to ruthlessly tear apart my eyewear collection if you do another “rate my collection” video😂

[@lindakuo88]

Glad you debunked that myth about whether wearing or not wearing your glasses makes your eyes better or worse. Interesting fact that your eye muscles are the most active in your body!! They’re active even during sleep. Another reason to take good care of them and reward them with the right pair of glasses. As usual, lots of useful information! Off topic: What is that cool yellow blueprint type of artwork behind you?

[@terrorsquadlith]

glasses wearers clean their glasses on average EIGHT times per day :O ?? Well I would be getting that statistic way down, I clean them like once every six months

[@thespectaclefactory]

😂

[@eespinosa64]

What do you recommend to use with a microfiber cloth?

[@valeriesjeans]

Do you ever recommend leaving plastic frames in water over night?

[@_______Lily_______]

in your next video could you go over any of the acetate cartier frames you have in the shop?

[@irenelanting]

Do you recommend glasses chain

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

9:00 Sure but mine always get dirty from normal use and have a fishbowl effect so I only wear mine when my dry eye acts up.

[@jkim7218]

Hey bro question. Do Clear Acetate glasses yellow overtime even if they are from JMM or Chrome Hearts?

[@thespectaclefactory]

Yes, it's a natural reaction to UV that most materials have

[@aleksandarbrzic8351]

What about the Fairy liquid ? I was always told that this simple dish washing liquid is the best for glasses as it does not have any bleach but all the necessary tensides for thorough washing...

[@thespectaclefactory]

I don't recommend it!

[@lorrainesveganallotment887]

Do you sell those Zeiss wipes in the store? I've been meaning to call in and ask.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Hi, yes we do. They come in packs of 30. Feel free to ring us or drop us an email at [e-mail]

[@SerhiiPshenychnyi]

What if instead lens wipe you just spray microfiber first and then clean lenses? Is it would be equal to wipes?

[@TheopticalPakistan]

👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌

[@DerekBradPhotography]

Best way to store glasses?

[@autistikait]

So for those of us who live in places where the air hurts our face in the winter because it’s so freezing outside, does going inside into the warm house from outside count as a rapid temperature fluctuation? It’s not abnormal at all for it to be -25°c or even -35° if you count the windchill outdoors and then walk inside to over 20°c and have your glasses fogged up from the change for a good 5 minutes or so 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@thespectaclefactory]

Yes, that is not good for glasses. My advice, and I know it's a bit more effort, would be to leave the glasses you've been wearing outside near to the door for a while after you come in (where it's not so warm), and switch to a pair which is acclimatised to the indoor temperature. Otherwise, you could have a set of uncoated lenses purely for outdoor use, although you would also get more reflections.

[@autistikait]

@@thespectaclefactoryhmm, that doesn’t really work when you’re out and about though. If I’m walking into a store or something there’s not really a place to leave my glasses. To be fair, I’m also one of those people who only own one pair of glasses though so I can’t anyway 🙈. Glasses are so expensive I’ve never been able to afford more than one pair at a time 😬

[@letmeseeu]

what model is the 3rd row first column, Jf rey the pink looking ones at 30 seconds?

[@justinevans1894]

I've got loads of those Zeiss lens wipes but I'm too scared to use them, will they definitely not scratch a plastic lens (with Zeiss DP)?

[@TheHi-T]

I know people who will not buy a spare pair of glasses or sport goggles. They say they don't want to waste their work health insurance on such things. They use old glasses as their spare. And don't mind risk getting hit in the eye while playing sports. Since they will only wear them 1-3 times a week, they think it is a waste of money. Eyewear is a great investment for enjoyment & safety.

@@agnesolsvik that is true, but I don't think I had any choice other than buying from Luxottica. I couldn't find anything other than Luxottica in the Store.
