I wish there were a shop like this in America. As big as we are, I haven't found a competent optician since I was a child, and sadly he was in his late 80s then and passed away long ago. Ever since then I have to teach them how to adjust the glasses, or just do it myself at home, but it's not the same trying to do your own as somebody who can look at the sides of your head.

Love love love this video. If I could like it a million times I would. Some many factors go into play when having your glasses adjusted by an optician vs doing it yourself: time/business hours and travel; depending on the situation if they break/damage your glasses in anyway they may not be liable. And we all know over time under certain conditions, our glasses need Minor adjustments again. When I worked in the OR a lot under those surgical lights my glasses needed adjustments roughly 4 times a year; they're acrylic acetate with one lens being single vision and the other lens being progressive and I needed to be able to see fine details which is why I got them readjusted as soon as they started to shift. But I also used to work down the street from them. I don't anymore. Even still sometimes all you need is a quick adjustment but everyone's already helping a customer so you could be waiting a while. Greatly appreciative of this video and love your accent.

This is the information I needed: I bought some Titanium Alloy prescription glasses in Shenzhen, they were only about $ 30 total and overall I was satisfied. Only the optic shop in China, forgot to do an adjustment behind the ears. Because I'm in the autistic spectrum, I kept adjusting the ears. When I thought it was fine? Then I adjusted it again.... I almost came to the conclusion: these Chinese frames must be to small, for my face? But then I hear you saying, about finding the point where the glasses meet the highest point of my ears? Well I already knew how to bend them, and surprisingly they haven't broken yet. So I bent it back straighter. After which I made the curve, precisely at the point where you suggested.

Please advise.

Is there a video that helps me understand if a new frame fits me or not? In particular, my optometrist seems to always be trying to talk me into going with frames where I feel the bridge is not fitting. Is there a definitive way to know if the bridge can be adjusted, or if it's just not a fit?

My main problem was not addressed and there may not be a solution. I have a very thin bony bridge. Adjustments do not work. Oversized bridge pads do not work. I have sewn soft rubber cups over the pads, but that does not work. It works better than anything else, but still leaves a large red area that aches. Contact lenses are out of the question for me as my eyes are deep set, and I'm 78 years old and do not want the aggravation. So other than some sort of band over my head holding the glasses off my nose, I don't know what to do. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Robert! Big fan of the channel. I’ve been watching the videos the last month or two and it’s started a very expensive rabbit hole in investing in good quality eyeglasses! Haha. I recently flew out to purchase a pair of Reykjavik Eyes frames (since they were one of the only few available optical shops in the Philippines that stocked them) and I got the Heimdall in the grey frame and blue temples. Really lightweight and comfortable! I was looking at investing in Zeiss Smartlife Digital lenses (since I work on the computer a lot for my day job). Thinking of getting Photofusion X and a Duravision UV flash coating as well so it can double for outdoor conditions and when cycling. Any recommendations on what would pair best with the grey frame and blue temples of the Reykjavik Eyes Heimdall? I’m thinking Photofusion X extra grey and a diamond or sapphire flash coating, but I’m open to suggestions. I’d really appreciate your opinion. Thank you, Robert! I hope to someday visit the UK and visit your store in person and have some glasses made!

Thanks for this! I have been struggling with my first pair of progressives for over a month, and was on the verge of returning them, but my feeling that they were badly adjusted was spot-on! I’ve sorted the delightful crooked look (the woman at the optician just didn’t get just how much lower one ear is than the other) and the shifting between focus zones is much easier now, although I think a bit more adjustment is still needed.

I just found your channel so I’ve only had a chance to watch one video. In the past six years I’ve had three different frames. Metal, titanium and acetate. The titanium frames broke in half at the nose piece. On the metal and acetate frames they squeeze my head on the side right in front of my ear. I’ve had them adjusted many times. I don’t think anybody knows what they’re doing. I honestly don’t know if the frames are too small for my head or not. Nobody will give me a straight answer. I go in with dents on the side of my head and a headache and all they ever say is those frames look so good on you ugh
