Doctor Eye Health I’ve been buying screwless eyeglass frames for years, it’s such a better mechanism than the old hinge design, not only no screw to loose but cheaper to manufacturer because of fewer parts and easier assembly. I’m surprised that all eyeglasses frames aren’t screwless nowadays.

The tabletop test @ 2:10 I've been an optician for almost 10 years and I would suggest flipping the glasses over for the tabletop test. If you've had your glasses adjusted by a professional you are going to mess up your glasses if you adjust them as shown in the video. Most people have one ear that is higher or lower, or more forward or more back -- properly adjusted frames will account for that, and the temple-ends will never sit evenly on the table.

you missed what i think is the best tip , use two hands to fit or remove your glasses , saves a lot of bending to the frame , and wear to always the same side , if you want to use one hand , remove using a pinch grip on the bridge , in number 2 you lay your glasses down the wrong way , lay them with the side ends facing up and the top edges of the sides down , that way the frame and sides are not effected by the ear return section , in case they are not bent exactly even and it gives a false impression. hth never ever use super glue , sticky tape or even blue tac , but never super glue , , if the threads in hinges are stripped , they can have over size screws fitted , or even small nuts and bolts will work , i do it all the time , im a working optical lab tech.

I'm late to this party, and while I've had co-workers lay them upside down as you suggest, for number 2, I generally do it the way the doc shows. It just works better for me. The only time I do it the other way is if the patient has a big difference in the way the temples have to be bent, then, as you say, it throws things off. Generally speaking though, the temples are even, and it's pretty easy to tell if they aren't

My favorites were tips 4 and 5. Knowing that there's an ACTUAL solution to my mundane problem lessens my hatred for having poor visual capabilities. This video helped me a lot and I've just started watching your videos for half an hour or less. It gave me much respect for you and your job. Here's a random question: How do you deal with having cockeyed while using your phone. Sometimes I forget that I'm not looking directly at the screen with both of my eyes. It's a manner of habit and self discipline which is hard to get a grip on how to change it. Also. Habitually, I get bored of watching and I often rest my hand on top of my eye, as a result of it, therefore in the process only using one eye. Would this damage the visual balance quality of my eye. Since when I close one eye and the another individually, I've noticed one is blurrier than the other. I know that eyes aren't 100% the same in regards to quality but having no knowledge about the subject makes me unsecure and unsure about the things that I need to change and improve about one's self. Despite that, I really enjoyed your videos.

I got this trick from the eyeglass store I bought my glasses from in when I went back a long time ago to complain that the lens coatings were decomposing (they weren't). Works like a charm on my 6+ years old lenses.

SUGGESTIONS: 1) Moldable Thermoplastic Beads. I first used the beads when the crown on my root canal broke. Within minutes, in less time than it takes to brew a tea bag. The beads melt together and I used them to make new temporary crown. Then my glasses broke at the bridge. I tried tape and even aluminum foil didn't work. So I tried thermoplastic beads and they totally worked.A little bit goes a long ways. In less than 10 I was able to reconnect the two pieces with precision accuracy. Because the plastic is clear when melted I was able to see the two halves connected at their grooves. The plastic is very malleable when it melts so you can adjust things as beads solidify. Once they solidify the because hard plastic. Even with arms on frames. No nail polish or crazy glue. Instead, use thermoplastic beads. Melt and then roll into size of a pea. Then press the pea around the part where tiny screw is missing. Wrap soft plastic around it then use a tooth pick a tool for stuffing soft plastic into small screw hole. I keep filling the screw hole with soft plastic. Then I remove the excess while plastic is still soft. Once it hardens the glasses are fully functional. The BEST thing about thermoplastic beads is that they're reusable. Do the same as glue or polish but without permanently attaching the frames or without the risk of glue sticking to skin. 2) Another idea I recommend can do very similar to thermoplastic beads is hot glue gun and even the white glue that wash off with soap and water. Will take longer to solidify but works. 3) If arm or stem break. Instead of putting dental floss through tiny hole. Cut 5" strand of dental floss/dental tape or any kind of string or thread. Hold pieces together and wrap string around both parts. Leave enough to tie off. Should hold both ends together. Can coat with drop of crazy glue. Let glue soak into thread and let dry. Now glasses are functional until repaired. Cool thing is that even using glue you can spare frames from further damage because all the glue gets absorbed by thread. So cut thread off when ready to repair. 4) Dental Wax for braces. Usually comes in small contain in strips. Sometimes smell like mint. This wax is very durable and fairly strong enough to hold temporarily. 5) Last product I recommend is laser bonding glue. It's not as strong but still a solution.

I had the problem of my glasses sliding down my face too tried silicone pads on the glasses but the glue wore off shortly after. What I found worked was to heat the arms of the glasses with a hairdryer for a minute the bend the arms inwards a bit. This way the arms grip behind your head making them more stable and comfortable to wear. If all you do is make the arms bend round your ears this can make them sore after a while, so using your head to stabilise the glasses is more effective

Just another little tip for when your eyeglasses slide down your face. Take some of those hair rubber bands that the girls use to tie their pony tails in and tie them around your ear pieces of your glasses.

Tip #8 1:16 Don't hold your glasses like that when you're wiping a lens. Always my glasses, flex frames especially, after a year, would snap at the bridge. But why? I figured out that the greatest repeated stress on the bridge was from holding the glasses on one side while wiping off the lens on the other side. This flexes the bridge - even if only just a little bit- eventually causing it break (look up: case hardening, this makes any material more brittle). While it is a bit awkward to hold the frame of the lens you are cleaning, it's easy to get used to. I haven't had a frame break in over ten years. (Of course I may be wiping my glasses with more force than other people; but think of me as the crash test dummy. Eventually I always had a problem, but now you can avoid even the possibility.)

I have a good tip that may work with people who’s glasses keep sliding down, especially acetate glasses. Mine always slid down until I found out that I need a pair with a narrow nose bridge and not a super thick and heavy frame which will be too much weight for a narrow nose bridge I need a nose bridge of below 17 everything else would slide down.

When I clean my glasses, I hold them under running warm water...making sure that the nose piece and the frame and lenses all get a good rinse. I don't use soap. Then, I use a soft hand towel to dry them. I don't get scratches/streaks/smudges at all this way. It's important to get the nose pieces/place clean so that you don't get skin irritations from the glasses resting on your face.

That's what I do too and I'm legally blind so I can't see the smudges on my glasses if I don't have glasses on, the hot water method is what works the best for me since then I don't have to spot clean.

I agree, but what I'm suggesting is just a quick "fix" from dust, smug, finger prints, sneeze/water drops AND then a wipe with a cloth, towels, etc. I find it necessary to do this once or twice a day. If your suggesting that washing with dish detergent EVERYDAY is the way to go, then say so. I'll do that! Thanks, for commenting.

I have a tip I tried for frames where the screw threads are worn but you want to keep your glasses. At the hardware store they have packages of shrink tubing in different sizes. It's usually for connecting wire but works really well for glass arms. You get a slightly larger size than your arm. You connect the arm the the frame through the tubing then heat it with a lighter. That stuff shrinks up immediately and holds tight! Looks way nicer than tape. The arm won't bend of course. It can be cut off later with an exacto knife. I left mine on and wore it that way for a very long time before I finally got some new frames.

Your channel is so helpful to anyone who wears glasses or needs to. I've worn glasses since I was a kid and hate them. I did wear contacts until I had my last child and have not been able to wear them since. The optometrist I used to go to always adjusted my glasses to fit perfectly but he retired and the last one I went to didn't even offer - which I thought was absolute laziness on their part. The optometrist was great, but the staff was less than poor. The glasses have never fit correctly and have always caused even more discomfort than necessary. Won't be going back there any time soon.

After lathering your face up to shave, dab some on your lenses and clean them. It will also help reduce fogging of the lenses during cold weather months. Plus the extra time spent cleaning your glasses while the lather is on your face helps soften the bristles further.

I wore glasses for literally EVERYTHING for 61yrs. Horribly nearsighted/glaucoma. In March the eye doctor said unequivocally I would be blind in months without an eye operation and then maybe still. In July while driving down I-77 going 75 mph I said Fock it and threw my glasses on the dash and kept saying "I SEE FINE! "I SEE FINE". Never put them back on. Never will. The mind never knows if you are telling the truth or not but the body responds as if. It did respond as if and...…….. Every day stronger. Try it. Faith in self is everything.

When I started wearing glasses for distance in the 3rd grade 5 decades ago, I took them off to play piano: the keys curved up at the side of my vision like the skate board tubes. I eventually got used to it, went to gas permeable contacts, now back to glasses, but with progressive lenses for reading. The doc on this channel would have a technical explanation for side distortion.

Hey Randy! Thanks for the great question. Depending on your prescription and how think the lenses are (also the type of lens) But oftentimes people will see things bent or distorted, usually when there is high astigmatism or if there is a progressive bifocal in the lens. In addition, if someone looks through the lens further away from the center of the lens...more distortion is usually seen. If you have never worn glasses before or there is a large change in prescription, then perhaps it could be just getting used to them. Usually will take about 2 weeks for most people.
