13 years later and this video is still really gonna answer 99% of folk’s questions with enough depth AND brevity. Brilliant! 🤓

This is a PERFECT example of what a how-to video should be. It shows me how to do something I need to do and fix something that has been irritating me. It doesn't preach at me that I shouldn't try to do it myself. It apparently assumes that I am an adult (imagine!) and am willing to take the risks inherent in doing it. And it doesn't have a huge four-minute introduction, it gets right to the point. Thank you so much!

I Thumbs down because you didn't say whether or not to leave the lenses on when you do heat. What happens if the heat damages anti reflective anti glare scratch resistant transitions coating? Thanks for not answering that LOL

@@johnthemann6483 I have a pair with anti glare lenses that needed the frame adjusting. I was there with the optician heated the frame and made the adjustments the lenses where never removed.

Winner of a video, I've been looking for "specsavers ultra clear superclean review" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Rayemiron Uncommunicative Release - (do a search on google ) ? It is a good exclusive guide for discovering how to improve your eyesight naturally minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin got great success with it.

Thank you, Troy! I've been heating and bending (inward) the far ends of the bows, and couldn't understand why the fix didn't stay put. And here you explained it, so now I know. You also explained the correct way to bring the bows inward. I'm going to do that right now. Thanks a lot!

Today, this is the greatest KZfaq video of all time. I ordered some new glasses online on a year old prescription. And I completely forgot that the frames need adjusting around my ears. After stressing out for an hour regarding how to solve my problem, I thought, try KZfaq (You idiot)!! And wallah. Hair dryer does the trick??? Such a simple thing that I would have never thought about. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd probably have to live at the optical place to get them just right. i have brand new glasses so I want to adjust them correctly, myself, this time. i never knew about using the needlenose pliers too on the metal part. can't say thank you enough!!!!

@Tyler-Wiley Жыл бұрын

My biggest complaint of plastic frames is that you always have to heat them up to adjust them. If you induce too much heat on the lenses, you risk damaging the lenses coatings.

I think you forgot to mention that if you heat the poly-carbonate glass you will damage it, so better to cover the glass with aluminum paper or wet sheet to avoid heat directly on it.

Dear Ehowealth, I have a problem, one of my glasses' temples are too narrow while the other one is fitting perfectly. Basically, the narrow temple feels like it hugs the back of my ears so tight it doesn't feel very comfortable at all. Also, one temple that is too narrow is very straight. Can you give me a help out of it? P.S: It's a metal frame
