there's someone who popped those lenses on the frame and thought, "nah, not my problem, not my job" and just continued his day without pointing out the mistake.
It isn't a mistake. Those are standard lenses with a high or strong prescription. What he's referring to when he says they forgot to thin his lenses, doesn't accurately mean thin the lenses. A more expensive and thinner polycarbonate lenses is typically bought when the patient has a very strong prescription. But not every patient can afford this upgrade, and those people just use standard lenses, and they are thick!!
@@JamesRockefeller45 If you ordered them, they will still stick them on. It might not be the best of options but the people who are making the glasses are just doing what their told. It's happened to me before.
@@JamesRockefeller45as someone who’s worked in and optical lab, people have ordered high prescription lenses exactly like this for similar frames before. Whoever ordered them, ordered the wrong material. (CR39/Plastic)

Back then the lenses were all made out of glass, not plastic. Not only it glass heavier, but for the same prescription it must be thicker. It was the advent of plastic lenses that finally allowed thin, light glasses for many.

@Jennifer Carmichael yeah. Lenses don't get "thinned" that would change the script. This person probably ordered polycarbonate lenses and is confused why they aren't 1.74 hi index
Well he is wearing glasses with "plus strengths", because he is very farsighted. You see that because his eyes appear bigger. A high index material for these strengths isn't the best choice because it increases the amount of chromatic and other abberations. A special glass design called aspheric lenses would be far better. Not only does it decrease the thickness of the glasses and with this the weight, it lowers the enhancement of his eye-size and it reduces aberrations, making the quality of his sight better.
Keep these glasses. Keep them in a little case in your front pocket. And when somebody is giving you shit, just thoughtfully pull these out like you're getting ready to pay close attention to them and take them seriously, deadpan serious the entire time.

I'm an optician and it might interest you to know that when glasses are 'thinned' it actually means making them out of a different material with a higher density, which refracts light more than standard Cr39 (a resin that most lenses are made of). These other materials (still plastics) are technically heavier than Cr39, but we need far less of it to make the same spectacle power, hence the result is a thinner lens.
Yeah, I was a bit confused when he said "they forgot to thin them." Pretty sure he meant to say *_he_* forgot to ask for high index lens because there's no way a lab is going to see _that_ and not be quintuple checking the prescription. 😅

No, it's true. At a certain point your eyesight gets so bad that you just cannot wear thin frames like this one. For instance, my optician specifically told me that those thin frame glasses were forbidden for me, as my normal frame glasses are too thin even paying more to get the thinner version..

I know someone with really bad eyesight. He’s legally blind in one eye and in the other eye he has to wear a contact along with his glasses because glasses wouldn’t be enough. It might not be a good option for that elderly gentleman but it’s another way to solve this type of problem.
That's very kind of you. Healthcare is so expensive in the US, I don't know how I afford them.. I have $180 dollars in my bank account right now and don't get insurance through my job, like many of us 😔
Just realized a couple weeks ago it's legal now to buy myopic lenses without a prescription. I have bought 5 pair, with varying diopters. So I now have .5 for computer reading. 1.75 for house work, and -2 to -3 for driving. -3 is the diopter in my right eye and -2.75 in my left. With some astigmatism and axis. But I order prescription glasses with no changes minus the diopter. HEhe, see what I did there? Bad puns. It has relieved soo much stress off my retina.
Yeah that was my thought. Looks like they gave him polycarbonate instead of high index, and polycarbonate has to be that thick to support high prescriptions. High index is a bit more pricey, but it can hold higher prescriptions and be thinner than poly.
That's ridiculous. It should be common sense for them to thin it. What the hell are the people gonna do? Wear it like that? Since cans have a price on them, they should just sell you the tomatoes outside instead of canned tomatoes.
As an eye care professional, It's not that they need to thin out those lenses, it's just that they didn't give you a polycarbonate or another thinner material, they gave you the basic material.
Yeah I thought that the lens comes as a large circle from the manufacturer, and then after a frame is chosen they are cut down around the edges by the glasses technicians to fit the size and shape of the frame. I didn't think it was possible to change the thickness of the lens after it comes out of the factory?? How would you repolish the surfaces?
Exactly. When my eyesight went really bad I just switched to polycarbonate and got thinner lenses. All until I had my Lasek surgery, best decision of my life.
Hello my reason for my faith in Jesus andthe Bible is mainly due to Bible prophecy. This video on UA-cam might help you just look up Mike winger prophecies that Jesus fulfilled evidence for the Bible pt10 🙂. It's quite long but even if you only watch a little bit it's worth it. He's a great teacher The penalty for sin is death but Jesus (God with us) lived a sinlesss life and died a sinners death in our place then rose to save us. We just have to believe and repent meaning turn rom our sins. God loves you and died for you. God bless thanks for readingp Jesus is the only way because Christianity is the only religion who believes that their sins have been payed for by someone perfect who can pay for them. That way there's only one way.
If my prescription gets any worse idk how I'll be able to wear glasses cause they're already heavy and it drives me crazy. I have to get the lightest frames to avoid feeling the weight of a building on my tiny nose. @@deanhorn2369
It doesn't have to feel like that... If you are lucky you will find a good optician who actually cares about their customers and how he/she can help them the most...
My great grandmother used to wear glasses like that, I genuinely have a hard time recognizing her in old pictures of her youth because in my memory she had this massive eyes
Wow. Those eyes are gorgeous, though, and the magnification really shows how magnificent they are. You should rock those glasses just like that just to show them off. Amazing! ❤
They didn't "forget to thin the lenses" thinner lenses are made from entirely different materials. The actual problem is that this he either chose to get these thicker lower index lenses, this is what happens when you don't get polycarbonate or high-index 1.67 (or 1.74) with a high Rx, or possibly a mistake was made and the wrong lens material was used. High-Index lenses have a significant cost difference. Whatever happens I hope he gets some new glasses!
"thinning" is a process by which they literally make your lenses thinner without changing the prescription. the dragon wizard has to channel his mana for 8 hours straight is why it's so expensive
God damn. I had a coworker who needed glasses like that. She called her glasses the coke bottle cause they partially stuck out of the frame. I guess they were properly thinned though cause you couldn't tell how thick they were unless she took them off and showed them to you
For almost 15 years of my life, I thought everyone who wore glasses had lenses sticking out of the frames like mine. I truly believed they were the standard.... surprise im blind as fuck! 🤦🏽♀️
@@mscptizzy depending on the material Zeiss lenses Donahue a much higher index and can be 40% thinner than the standard. My -6.0 glasses are the same thickness as others -2.0, but of course comes with a price tag
@@lovelylisawarriorqueen7923 There are regular lenses, polycarbonate lenses and high density lenses. The polycarbonate are sometimes covered by insurance in the US but the high density are usually not. High density is the thinnest but I do not notice a difference.
@Stephanie C Its time for new glasses for me, and I hate getting them because of this and being afraid they won't look good. I hate having to stick to certain smaller frames also. I heard in Japan they have the thinnest lenses, but I guess the material isn't safe here in the U.S. Normally, my glasses run about $450.00. I have a 7 + with astigmatism, so it's just not fun, but I'm very grateful for it. I hope you have a beautiful day 🌞
@@lovelylisawarriorqueen7923 I am +6.5 with astigmatism also. I usually get them every year. This is the first year with high density lenses and I am not impressed. I do not think I will pay for them next year.
Optician here. You don't believe how often we recommend thinner glasses and people go "nah, it's not thaaaat big" And then tell us nobody warned them about the thickness....
It's because they charge us extortionate prices for the privilege knowing no one wants to look like a Bugs' Life character. It's the worst part of an opticians.
@@LordDan1989 Nah, people don't get that glasses are still made per order. Which makes them expensive. Sure, a bit of it is brand and in the USA there is the whole "all opticians are basically owned by one big glasses company"-thing, but in my country at least most of the cost is actually not just a greedy seller.
Also optician here, yeah being that the lenses are a touch blue probably means they’re basic CR39, which is the thickest and heaviest material. (Aside from glass obviously) You can’t “thin” a prescription, the material there is the prescription. You can choose a denser material but that’s it. Kind of his fault. Looks like a -6.00 to -8.00 or something. Shoulda used a high index plastic or gone with a smaller pair of glasses.
@@samtomkatt I'm not an optician, but my eyes are terrible - only once did I order non-polycarbonate lenses, and that was a huge mistake...the optician warned me that even with thick rimmed frames, the lenses were easily double the thickness of the frame and would pop out frequently but I refused to listen - & guess what happened? I ended up having to buy a second pair of glasses with polycarbonate lenses a week later. I highly doubt any optician would just let him order those lenses without warning him it would be a poor choice... Saving tens of dollars isn't worth it, and we all know he probably did it on purpose just to make this video. Lame.
@@Rosa_Canina It’s a but of both depending on where you get them. I paid $60 for mine, and my boyfriend paid $400 for his. I fully appreciate though that it’s a miracle of modern industry that I can have two lenses custom made for $10 if I wanted to go really cheap.
I feel so seen 💀 I have the same thicc lens problem, and sometimes even after having it done with a high index (i.e. thinned), the store wouldn't let me choose some frames because apparently that would be too heavy because of the thick lenses and WILL break off within a week. Free vision feels like a privilege sometimes. 😭
Do you know if you are a good candidate for LASIK surgery? My best friend got it and swears it's the best decision he ever made. So much so, that he offered to pay for mine (it is technically "cheap" for surgery, about 4K-5K) but unfortunately I am not a good candidate because my poor vision is in my left eye and it's due to amblyopia, which means the neural connections that normally form in the brain for eyesight during infancy didn't form fully for my left eye. I can see out of it, but I wouldn't be able to close my right eye and do something like read a novel or even a street sign. Since my eyes are technically healthy, lasik wouldn't work for me, I was told.
I often had to choose from the kids section because of a narrow face and super thick lenses (even at high index). I had lens replacement surgery (think cataract surgery but without cataracts) and now I’m glasses free. It’s bananas.
The saddest part is that depending on the glasses place they charge you extra for thinning out the lenses. Even though your insurance should be paying for that
They don’t actually thin the lenses. Those lenses are that thick because that’s what’s needed with that material. They uses different material with higher index of refraction to make stronger correction lenses be thinner. They do charge more because the material is more expensive. Whether your insurance covers that or not is a whole different thing.
@@skyler7319 Optician from germany here thats not entirely true, you can make lenses with the same Index thinner by using an aspheric or even double aspheric Design or Layout. Sorry i am not entirely sure How to put it in english.
Make sure if you are ordering on line that you call the last place you were fitted and ask what materials and treatments you use. High prescription don’t just get “thinned down” bc all lenses as “thinned down to get to your exact prescription astigmatism and all in the correct place. High prescriptions do well in hi-index material because it was designed to be thinner and lighter than the standard polycarbonate and it’s classic older brother plastic. Also opting for a polish or roll and polish with help them look more aesthetically pleasing as well
Yep, the lenses (of ALL prescriptions!) start as 8’ round discs that are then cut down to the shape of your frame with the center of the disc in mind for where your eye rests within the lens. You cannot “thin a lens” they are already made, then just cut down to shape. You gotta choose the thinnest option before you buy it. I hope he was just joking with that comment, but because I had someone ask if a small optical center offered LASIK surgery… he didn’t understand what was involved in the procedure; apparently just heard the name and that it improves your vision 😅 *I don’t put anything past anyone anymore
My nephew is 5 and bless his heart... his glasses are that thick already. But it sure does melt your heart when he looks up at you with them big ol eyes 🥺
Good that it's been caught so early though! My brother had glasses as a kid but actually doesn't need them anymore, it's possible his eyesight could improve a bit.
when you're that young and you regularly wear your glasses and get you eyes checked yearly you'll be fine and most likely you'll either improve or just stabilise (depending on the issue obviously) take it from me who's been wearing mine since I had just turned 6.
As someone who also has very bad eyesight (severe myopia) and needs glasses for everything, I can relate to having the heavy lenses falling off my nose when I wear them. They definitely aren't cheap to replace or to order custom made when they're specific for a visually impaired rx and you can't just buy them cheap at a store like a common rx. Thankfully I've never had the lenses not be thinned out, but I don't know if I could wear mine if this happened to me 😂
I have a power of -8.0 on both my eyes and I can absolutely relate to the struggle of your glasses being too loose and falling off cause they're so damn heavy T_T
You need to ask for Hi index. Now they should know to recommend it, but if you have a prescription of 5 or higher then high index will usually be mentioned. If they don’t mention it then ask. I always recommend it when a patient has -5 or higher. You can get away with poly but hi index is more comfortable. It’s the thinnest lens I can offer besides contacts.
Ye in every glass store i was every sales man recommended to chose the thinest option. (It was alot more expensive so ofc they recommendet it to me) but also becouse it looks way better and is not so heavy on ur nose
Also i would recommend not to get a frame glass like in the video. Pick a thicker frame glass so u can hide more glass inside it. The sales people gave me also that tip when i tryed a pair of thin frames

I know someone with really bad eyesight. He’s legally blind in one eye and in the other eye he has to wear a contact along with his glasses because glasses wouldn’t be enough. It might not be a good option for that elderly gentleman but it’s another way to solve this type of problem.
awwe, your good people. 👍
That's very kind of you. Healthcare is so expensive in the US, I don't know how I afford them.. I have $180 dollars in my bank account right now and don't get insurance through my job, like many of us 😔
Stories like this are part of the reason I’m studying to become an optician
Just realized a couple weeks ago it's legal now to buy myopic lenses without a prescription. I have bought 5 pair, with varying diopters. So I now have .5 for computer reading. 1.75 for house work, and -2 to -3 for driving. -3 is the diopter in my right eye and -2.75 in my left. With some astigmatism and axis. But I order prescription glasses with no changes minus the diopter. HEhe, see what I did there? Bad puns. It has relieved soo much stress off my retina.
Jack is now the definition of "👁👄👁" pLis-😂😭😭
I hope he doesn't get mixed up in any of Rickies schemes , he's got kitties to take care of
Underrated, he does look like bubbles
My first thought
IM DYING
Omg 😂😂😂 this killed me💀💀💀
Its the green bastard!
This man's glasses can spark a fire.
If you don't specify you want them thin, they won't do it. Specially because it has a price to thin them
My Dr's office always ask me do you want them thin I'm like yes
Yeah it's a different material if I remember right? One material can have the precription but be made thinner but is more expensive
Yeah that was my thought. Looks like they gave him polycarbonate instead of high index, and polycarbonate has to be that thick to support high prescriptions. High index is a bit more pricey, but it can hold higher prescriptions and be thinner than poly.
That's ridiculous. It should be common sense for them to thin it. What the hell are the people gonna do? Wear it like that? Since cans have a price on them, they should just sell you the tomatoes outside instead of canned tomatoes.
@@shiftyclouds9591 it’s a different material. He probably ordered wrong. They don’t “thin” them
As an eye care professional, It's not that they need to thin out those lenses, it's just that they didn't give you a polycarbonate or another thinner material, they gave you the basic material.
Yeah I thought that the lens comes as a large circle from the manufacturer, and then after a frame is chosen they are cut down around the edges by the glasses technicians to fit the size and shape of the frame. I didn't think it was possible to change the thickness of the lens after it comes out of the factory?? How would you repolish the surfaces?
Exactly. When my eyesight went really bad I just switched to polycarbonate and got thinner lenses. All until I had my Lasek surgery, best decision of my life.
@@giftofthewild6665 You can diamond turn ready to use optics. Or more traditional way turn, grind, polish.
That's what he meant by "they didn't thin out the lenses". It's already implied that they gave him a basic material
THANK YOU cutting them down would just make them unwearable
On the plus side, your eyelashes look fantastic 💀

Who’s got your belly
Hello
my reason for my faith in Jesus andthe Bible is mainly due to Bible prophecy.
This video on UA-cam might help you just look up
Mike winger prophecies that Jesus fulfilled evidence for the Bible pt10 🙂.
It's quite long but even if you only watch a little bit it's worth it. He's a great teacher
The penalty for sin is death but Jesus (God with us) lived a sinlesss life and died a sinners death in our place then rose to save us. We just have to believe and repent meaning turn rom our sins.
God loves you and died for you. God bless thanks for readingp
Jesus is the only way because Christianity is the only religion who believes that their sins have been payed for by someone perfect who can pay for them. That way there's only one way.
This is how it FEELS to have a really strong prescription
Period.
Honestly it suck my perception is minus 8.5 and thick af.
If my prescription gets any worse idk how I'll be able to wear glasses cause they're already heavy and it drives me crazy. I have to get the lightest frames to avoid feeling the weight of a building on my tiny nose. @@deanhorn2369
@@deanhorn2369try getting high index lens!
They are thinner and lighter!
It doesn't have to feel like that... If you are lucky you will find a good optician who actually cares about their customers and how he/she can help them the most...
He's the living embodiment of all the cartoon characters with ridiculously big glasses
I can imagine him taking them off and having really small eyes
My great grandmother used to wear glasses like that, I genuinely have a hard time recognizing her in old pictures of her youth because in my memory she had this massive eyes
They're literal magnifying glasses 😭😭😭
Thats actually exactly what glasses lenses are
"hello my name is zuzie....zuzie with a z" 😂😂
I was about to comment the same 😂
NAHH 😭😭💀
Thank you I was gonna say this
Hahahah literally what I though, I burst in laughter when he put them on 😹❤️!
Wow. Those eyes are gorgeous, though, and the magnification really shows how magnificent they are. You should rock those glasses just like that just to show them off. Amazing! ❤
Glad to see Bubbles doing better after leaving the trailer park

Well, he is hot, so it could really work for that kind of movie.
They didn't "forget to thin the lenses" thinner lenses are made from entirely different materials. The actual problem is that this he either chose to get these thicker lower index lenses, this is what happens when you don't get polycarbonate or high-index 1.67 (or 1.74) with a high Rx, or possibly a mistake was made and the wrong lens material was used. High-Index lenses have a significant cost difference. Whatever happens I hope he gets some new glasses!
Yes thank you. This happens if they give bad or no consultation when someone buys their glasses. Or if you order them online without knowing better.
@@octavia3667 Knowing Better should do a video about this.
looks so cute tho!! those bubble eyes! :D
"thinning" is a process by which they literally make your lenses thinner without changing the prescription. the dragon wizard has to channel his mana for 8 hours straight is why it's so expensive
Wha? Dragon wizard? Are you talking about D&D?
The accurate comment I was looking for
Suddenly jack is obsessed with kitties and lives in Sunnyvale trailer park lmao.
Gah, thank you. The total lack of TPB comments was starting to irk me. 😄
God damn. I had a coworker who needed glasses like that. She called her glasses the coke bottle cause they partially stuck out of the frame. I guess they were properly thinned though cause you couldn't tell how thick they were unless she took them off and showed them to you
For almost 15 years of my life, I thought everyone who wore glasses had lenses sticking out of the frames like mine. I truly believed they were the standard.... surprise im blind as fuck! 🤦🏽♀️
@@mscptizzy depending on the material Zeiss lenses Donahue a much higher index and can be 40% thinner than the standard. My -6.0 glasses are the same thickness as others -2.0, but of course comes with a price tag
You can pull it off Jack. I believe in you. Give the rest of us some hope!
I can relate to this so hard. If I don't fork over the extra cash for the lighter material the glasses become impossible to wear on my greasy face.
My doc just dose this auto because he like no one what's to wear glasses like that.
What is the lightweight material called? I always tell them polished knife edge.
@@lovelylisawarriorqueen7923 There are regular lenses, polycarbonate lenses and high density lenses. The polycarbonate are sometimes covered by insurance in the US but the high density are usually not. High density is the thinnest but I do not notice a difference.
@Stephanie C Its time for new glasses for me, and I hate getting them because of this and being afraid they won't look good. I hate having to stick to certain smaller frames also. I heard in Japan they have the thinnest lenses, but I guess the material isn't safe here in the U.S. Normally, my glasses run about $450.00. I have a 7 + with astigmatism, so it's just not fun, but I'm very grateful for it. I hope you have a beautiful day 🌞
@@lovelylisawarriorqueen7923 I am +6.5 with astigmatism also. I usually get them every year. This is the first year with high density lenses and I am not impressed. I do not think I will pay for them next year.
Optician here. You don't believe how often we recommend thinner glasses and people go "nah, it's not thaaaat big" And then tell us nobody warned them about the thickness....
It's because they charge us extortionate prices for the privilege knowing no one wants to look like a Bugs' Life character.
It's the worst part of an opticians.
@@LordDan1989 Nah, people don't get that glasses are still made per order. Which makes them expensive. Sure, a bit of it is brand and in the USA there is the whole "all opticians are basically owned by one big glasses company"-thing, but in my country at least most of the cost is actually not just a greedy seller.
Also optician here, yeah being that the lenses are a touch blue probably means they’re basic CR39, which is the thickest and heaviest material. (Aside from glass obviously) You can’t “thin” a prescription, the material there is the prescription. You can choose a denser material but that’s it. Kind of his fault. Looks like a -6.00 to -8.00 or something. Shoulda used a high index plastic or gone with a smaller pair of glasses.
@@samtomkatt I'm not an optician, but my eyes are terrible - only once did I order non-polycarbonate lenses, and that was a huge mistake...the optician warned me that even with thick rimmed frames, the lenses were easily double the thickness of the frame and would pop out frequently but I refused to listen - & guess what happened? I ended up having to buy a second pair of glasses with polycarbonate lenses a week later. I highly doubt any optician would just let him order those lenses without warning him it would be a poor choice... Saving tens of dollars isn't worth it, and we all know he probably did it on purpose just to make this video. Lame.
@@Rosa_Canina It’s a but of both depending on where you get them. I paid $60 for mine, and my boyfriend paid $400 for his.
I fully appreciate though that it’s a miracle of modern industry that I can have two lenses custom made for $10 if I wanted to go really cheap.
Why is this the cutest thing I’ve seen in all 28 years of my existence
You’re laugh is adorable ❤
Dude went into Disney Princess mode.
hahahahaaaaa!!!
I feel so seen 💀 I have the same thicc lens problem, and sometimes even after having it done with a high index (i.e. thinned), the store wouldn't let me choose some frames because apparently that would be too heavy because of the thick lenses and WILL break off within a week. Free vision feels like a privilege sometimes. 😭
It's definitely a privilege.
Do you know if you are a good candidate for LASIK surgery? My best friend got it and swears it's the best decision he ever made. So much so, that he offered to pay for mine (it is technically "cheap" for surgery, about 4K-5K) but unfortunately I am not a good candidate because my poor vision is in my left eye and it's due to amblyopia, which means the neural connections that normally form in the brain for eyesight during infancy didn't form fully for my left eye. I can see out of it, but I wouldn't be able to close my right eye and do something like read a novel or even a street sign. Since my eyes are technically healthy, lasik wouldn't work for me, I was told.
I have the same thing, people are so confused when I say I can only see out of one eye but get peripheral from the other 😀
I often had to choose from the kids section because of a narrow face and super thick lenses (even at high index). I had lens replacement surgery (think cataract surgery but without cataracts) and now I’m glasses free. It’s bananas.
As a fellow glass wearer with very strong prescription I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated this. Thank you for sharing.
Don’t go back and fix them. This is amazing. The effect is just masterful! 😂😂😂
"Good news, everyone! My prescription glasses just came in the intergalactic mail!"
The magnified eyes are sending me :'D
Lmao they make you look like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys 😭
Yes, first thing I also thought!!!😂
Came here to see if anyone said this first. Id wear these for a photoshoot with my cats
Just needs a kitty to complete the look
CAME HERE FOR THIS EXACT COMMENT 🤣🤣🤣
Lol was looking for this
This feels like a very obscure reference, but I'm reminded of this one Tinkerbell character who wore raindrop glasses.
The saddest part is that depending on the glasses place they charge you extra for thinning out the lenses. Even though your insurance should be paying for that
They don’t actually thin the lenses. Those lenses are that thick because that’s what’s needed with that material. They uses different material with higher index of refraction to make stronger correction lenses be thinner. They do charge more because the material is more expensive. Whether your insurance covers that or not is a whole different thing.
@@skyler7319 Optician from germany here thats not entirely true, you can make lenses with the same Index thinner by using an aspheric or even double aspheric Design or Layout. Sorry i am not entirely sure How to put it in english.
I've been getting told at eye glass huts that eye glasses aren't covered by MANY insurances.

Make sure if you are ordering on line that you call the last place you were fitted and ask what materials and treatments you use. High prescription don’t just get “thinned down” bc all lenses as “thinned down to get to your exact prescription astigmatism and all in the correct place. High prescriptions do well in hi-index material because it was designed to be thinner and lighter than the standard polycarbonate and it’s classic older brother plastic. Also opting for a polish or roll and polish with help them look more aesthetically pleasing as well
Yep, the lenses (of ALL prescriptions!) start as 8’ round discs that are then cut down to the shape of your frame with the center of the disc in mind for where your eye rests within the lens. You cannot “thin a lens” they are already made, then just cut down to shape. You gotta choose the thinnest option before you buy it.
I hope he was just joking with that comment, but because I had someone ask if a small optical center offered LASIK surgery… he didn’t understand what was involved in the procedure; apparently just heard the name and that it improves your vision 😅 *I don’t put anything past anyone anymore
Wow, you look as if you’re in a cartoon.
someone get this man a shed and some kitties
You know, you are really cute, and you have such BEAUTIFUL EYES!!👁👁

I did not know you could look like this irl💀💀💀
I feel so seen (pun intended)! My lenses become magnifying glasses if they aren't thinned. The struggle is too real 🤓😅🤣
Literally same. My glasses have a power of -10 I physically cannot wear them without them being thinned 😭
As someone else who had a -11 and a -13 prescription, and who also MUST have lenses thinned, this made me absolutely LOL!!!!! 😂😂 IYKYK
When your eyesight is so bad you’re glasses double as ballistic protection:
My dude became a free-range no-GMO TikTok filter
My nephew is 5 and bless his heart... his glasses are that thick already. But it sure does melt your heart when he looks up at you with them big ol eyes 🥺
😂
Aww poor soul! When I see children that young with such lenses, it’s adorable.
Good that it's been caught so early though! My brother had glasses as a kid but actually doesn't need them anymore, it's possible his eyesight could improve a bit.
when you're that young and you regularly wear your glasses and get you eyes checked yearly you'll be fine and most likely you'll either improve or just stabilise (depending on the issue obviously) take it from me who's been wearing mine since I had just turned 6.
If he's long sighted it's possible his prescription will improve as he gets older.
If he's short sighted they will likely get worse I'm afraid.
it's like those cartoons when a character who usually wears glasses takes them off and their eyes are just dots!!
My thin lenses are STILL thick...lol. I was SO happy when thick plastic frames came back in style cause that's all I wore 😭
As someone who also has very bad eyesight (severe myopia) and needs glasses for everything, I can relate to having the heavy lenses falling off my nose when I wear them. They definitely aren't cheap to replace or to order custom made when they're specific for a visually impaired rx and you can't just buy them cheap at a store like a common rx. Thankfully I've never had the lenses not be thinned out, but I don't know if I could wear mine if this happened to me 😂
yeees and even when thinned they're still too heavy for my small asian nose so they'd fall off anyway 😭 i'm so glad I wear orthokeratology lenses now
Those glasses take bug eyed to a whole other level
Omg when he wears them he looks like the the friend of Tinkerbells
i relate painfully as someone with a very big + prescription 😭
I have a power of -8.0 on both my eyes and I can absolutely relate to the struggle of your glasses being too loose and falling off cause they're so damn heavy T_T
Same 😑😓, and they look bad aswell.
How many conversations per day do you have with people who are like "but have you considered Lasik surgery?"
totally feel you! I have -9.0 & -9.5 so I always need them trim...like every time .-.
@@MaddyBlu9724 every fudging day lol xD
First time seeing him and his laugh is literally adorable.
I feel you bro. I also have a bad vision so lenses in my glasses are pretty thick so when I order new pair of glasses they don't always thin them...
You need to ask for Hi index. Now they should know to recommend it, but if you have a prescription of 5 or higher then high index will usually be mentioned. If they don’t mention it then ask. I always recommend it when a patient has -5 or higher. You can get away with poly but hi index is more comfortable. It’s the thinnest lens I can offer besides contacts.
@@storyaboutmosquitoes9441 I have -7 and astigmatism, next time I order new glasses I'll ask, thanks
Ye in every glass store i was every sales man recommended to chose the thinest option.
(It was alot more expensive so ofc they recommendet it to me) but also becouse it looks way better and is not so heavy on ur nose
Also i would recommend not to get a frame glass like in the video. Pick a thicker frame glass so u can hide more glass inside it. The sales people gave me also that tip when i tryed a pair of thin frames
Harry Potter called. He challenged you to a glasses off.
optician here, they just put in the wrong lenses, the thin ones need to be of a denser material :D
