Thanks for all this thoughtful information; explaining how optimal frame size can vary based on style and material was especially helpful. Regarding frame durability it seems to me it's only really an issue if you want to reuse frames. Opticians now charge a fee when customers bring in a frame for new lenses, so unless you wear high end, expensive frames it's just easier to get a new frame every year (my prescription has never been the same two years in a row). I've also become a fan of Zeisse premoistened lens wipes. They're cheap and after a single use you just throw them away. No worrying about debris on a microfiber cloth possibly scratching the lens, etc.

5:50 numbers on frame are width, bridge is distance between the lenses. Withor without nosepafs. Nosepads give option to adjust throughout. Not all frames fit all the way over the ear. Will rewatch this section over to here 9:10 because it’s a lot for a customer to know. 9:38 After receiving glasses, how consistently does our physical plus brain perception match our expectations? How can we know if it’s good, 11:29 subjective versus objective : the Zeiss process. 12:38 reasons our brain’s neural pathways need to adjust. 13:07 otherwise, reasons the fitting can be “wrong” for a person. Variables in how the lenses are cut, the lenstype, incorrectly tested by optician or lens maker. 15:26 user longterm 15:45 he thinks spring frames in hinges do not always endure, especially in low quality frame, or the hinge itself is if poor quality? 18:01 always take glasses off with both hands. Handle them nicely. Don’t place glasses up on top of your head. Rimless, biosteel? 21:06 coating can degrade with heat or highly variable temperatures.

Most helpful video ever! Too bad I wasn’t able to use these info 4 years ago, but at least I know now what my problems were & I’m super glad the video is here now, right before I claim a new pair (which I reckon will be my best yet!) And it seems that my optician this time is (or this is just how I feel) super knowledgeable (almost like you, but from Asia… and busy lol) and helped me with the right size. Will try to remember the care tips. Remove with 2 hands. No dishwashing liquid, just warm water. Don’t bake it in a car.

I appreciate your discussing the subjectivity of the eye test because I'm seeing considerable discrepancies between practitioners and am struggling. I had my 5th eye exam and 3rd new Rx in 6 months today (3 different examiners + an ophthalmologist). Today, I was told I don't have an astigmatism in my right eye and a far lesser astigmatism in the left eye while the powers I need are a full diopter stronger bilaterally than measured earlier this year. I'm still struggling, but I have confidence that the new doctor referred to me by an ophthalmologist who I saw today has me on the right track. Unfortunately, this has already cost me a lot of time, money, & lost work productivity. But, I no longer feel gaslighted. I'll also take your advice when ordering my new glasses, especially with selecting the frames. Thank you.

I was surprised that you're most common breaking issues did not cover the nose pads. I've worn glasses since I was 4 years old and have never broken a hinge, but I have repeatedly lost nose pads or had the entire support break off. And I always end up with frames that have nose pads because I've never found a pair of plastic frames that fit my nose

Hi, thanks for the video, very informative. So many variables especially with IOLs, astigmatism and presbyopia)). What do you think of wearing two (or several) different prescriptions alternately? I have a few pairs of glasses, and recently got a new prescription (Zeiss SL). Most of them are progressive lenses, one pair is for reading and one is an office pair. Considering the cost of the lenses, I plan on keeping on wearing my three old prescription glasses - the vision is less sharp, but OK, and they are actually more comfortable (at least for now). Would it disturb the brain to switch between the different prescriptions? The difference is not so much in diopters but in cylinders and angles. I am experimenting but keen to get an expert opinion).

Great information! I do have a question. I have bought frames and lenses from a high end optical that offers custom lenses through Zeiss or Hoya. They suggested using a small spray bottle with a mixture of a couple drops of Dawn dish soap with plenty of water to clean the lenses. I also use the spray cleaners that most opticals sell. I understand that you recommend Zeiss wipes, but what do you think of these other options?

Hi Rob, just found your channel and have subscribed. Some really fantastic information in your videos and as a spectacle wearer this has been highly beneficial. I do have a technical question though. Why do some clear lenses seem to end up with a slight yellow tint over time? I have had some lenses with the same coatings (Multi AR for example) but not all are affected.
@thespectaclefactory
@thespectaclefactory Жыл бұрын
It's UV exposure in most cases. Some lenses block more UV, and some transmit UV. The more UV they absorb, the more yellow they get. It's the same reason we get cataracts, which is where the natural lens within our eye gets cloudy due to blocking UV (hence why you should always wear sunglasses when outdoors, no exceptions). Smoking can also have a similar effect.

At 15:04 Robert, I'm amazed with the digital technology you use at The Spectacle Factory. It blew my mind to see how you adjust your measurements to each specific frame. OCT technology and the Zeiss i.Profiler are incredible. I wear progressive lenses and I've never been comfortable in them. They make me a little dizzy and it takes a bit too long to adjust my eyes for specific distances. I get a headache too after wearing them too long. Robert, where can I get this same level of an eye examination in NYC? Should I call Zeiss and ask what eyewear stores use the latest cutting edge digital technology, like the Visufit 1000? Do you have any suggestions? Your help is so much appreciated. Also, because of you, I fell in love with Masunaga and Reykjavik Eyes. My next pair of glasses will definitely be from one of these makers. I emailed them both because I also don't know where to find them in NYC.

As an optician the most dreaded question I get from people is the “What glasses you think goes with my face shape?” and I tell them “whatever you like and your preferred preference.” I think the face shape fit is just for fun. I agree with the measurements of the frame not really there for accurate sizing for fit, but just the measurements of the frame. I mean DBL for the bridge is literally just “distance between lenses”.

New glasses can sometimes be difficult to get used to. I had a new pair once that had a radically different base curve and it drove me crazy. Had them remade with my previous base curve and had no issues. I was told I was base curve sensitive. Is that odd? I agree mostly about hinges, but there are exceptions. I have an old pair of Prodesign frames with a very robust hinge on robust aluminum frames. I wore them for 12 years until the acetate temples corroded and one snapped when adjusting because they were somewhat brittle, and honestly abused. These are my photography work glasses with glass lenses. (Old school large format, big tripod & darkcloth.) Luckily I found "new old stock" of the same frame and had new bifocal photo-grey extra lenses made for them because... I had cateract surgery this summer. (Age 68.) I opted to have my eyes corrected to reading distance, -2.25 with slight astigmatism (+0.50 & +0.75). Before I was -5+ with slight astigmatism. So, not only do I need to get used to new glasses, but new eyes with IOLs. I have to get used to new lenses IN my eyes and new spectacles. I no longer need bifocals to read. My prescription is -2.25, add +2.5. I wonder if some of the new Zeiss lenses might benefit me forgetting the add? I can take my glasses off to read , which is a hassle. Around home I no longer wear glasses. I can order a bifocal in a "cool" frame or be unstylish and wear shorter narrower frames (and look under them, instant bifocal! ), or progressives. I could never get used to progressive lenses 10 years ago, so they scare me. Plus the expense for a lens full of aberrations and junk zones does not suit my photographer's critical brain. Justifying the expense for inferior vision unacceptable to me. I have had made the above mentioned vintage-ish Prodesign glass bifocals, Windsor glasses with rose lenses for distance, and replaced with dark grey and red mirror lenses on my Markus T frames are on the way. (Now you tell me I can't keep coated lenses in the car! Oops...🙄😉) New Ovvo frames (similar construction to Reykjavik) on order with amethyst Transitions, distance. Need one, maybe two more frames, but need to wait until spring. Dark glass sunglasses and something impossible... I just wrote a novel. Sorry. Your work and generous nature on this channel are well appreciated by us all. 😀 Thank you! 👍

Hello Patrick, It does depend on the individual, but your brain actually gets used to changing after a while. Some people find it easier to just wear one pair a day (+ sunglasses when necessary) and putting them on first thing in the morning makes adaptation easiest.

Very interesting. Thanks for all the good recommendations and suggestions. I'm in Australia and even though I've been wearing eye glasses for a few years now I've had these progressive (digital) glasses for a little more than a year. I find because I have my face in screens for a good majority of the time and possibly still getting use to progressive lenses I think I may be straining my eyesight. Sometimes I find that what I'm trying to read or check I don't have good focus and sometimes find it hard to focus as the region is very slim for the focus. I find that I get sore eyes, watery, always feels like I have something in them. I've also wondered if the nose pads (silicone?), may be irritating my eyes (causing watering)? My last pair were just magnifiers as that is all I really needed but the optometrist suggested a progressive lenses as my glasses would give me best vision across the close range for fine print (I deal with fine print on computers and labels) and distance but I don't need them for driving, my long vision is still quite good (age 61). I've thought I should get another pair of frames, even though the frames I have are okay, I'm not thrilled how I can feel them on all the time and my Maui Jim titanium sunglasses are so light I forget I have them on. Any suggestions?

Hello So I got my eyesight checked yesterday and my right eye got -1.25 and the left one got -1,5 I am worried that an Ophthalmologist has made a mistake since I could see letters with that -1.25 lens but it appeared a little bit murky(I guess it’s actually -1,5 on both of my eyes).So i got the glasses following that “wrong” prescription.Now I am worried if wearing the glasses will induce some eyesight problems.Please help me

I hate glasses. My head is big and the temple length was never right. Also I sweat during sports and the glasses fog up or slip. Never had glasses that fit properly. I'm glad I'm getting cataract surgery with EDOF lens implants so I never have to wear them again unless reading a book.

I don't agree. A spring hinge would have kept my current glasses from breaking apart. I never had a spring hinge fail. Only downside is they are a bit bulkier.

I believe you. But that is your sample size of one, whereas I have handled, sold and repaired glasses for thousands of people over the last decade. Virtually no luxury glasses have a spring hinge, and there is a reason why.

I choose my glasses like I choose my women, with attitude, thick, straight, sporty, sensitive, heavy ass estate, nifty, no pressure especially around my brain, focused, sees me with her brain not my eyes, tested, patient, objective, suits my profile, useful, has vision, perseveres despite my flaws, never wraps her legs around another's head, gets better with age, philosophical, bends but doesn't break, swallows. Wait, not, okay, dusky and durable when swallowing, likes using both hands, flexible, clean, light, sexy
