Well, what can I say. THANK YOU. I have just found you and thank goodness I did and thank goodness you put out that yearly video 😂 I wear prescription glasses but I do buy el cheapo for around the house, in pockets, you get the picture. I can honestly say that any glasses I have, had, do the slip slide away UNTIL... I bought a pair of non prescription from a company called 'tiger specs' I am so pleased with the vision but I thought the frames were too big.... Not anymore, after your explanations I realised I actually have the best fitting frames I've ever had and they do not move even when I've plastered my face with cream😮 (you have to at my age 😢) The old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" doesn't work with me and I was looking for videos to fix them 😂😂 not anymore, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, I'm not touching them 😂😂
Thanks for this! I saw your video on an Amazon (Canada) as I was looking for something to keep my glasses from sliding down my nose when it's hot and sticky outside, and I'm perspiring. As one might expect, it's been driving me nuts. While watching your video, I realized was that there is very little I know about making my glasses fit properly, and it's probably best that I watch more of your videos so I can get a fuller understanding of what adjustments might be needed. I had something of an epiphany during your explanation about the physics behind a proper fit. I'm surprised no one noticed the light bulb going off above my head. Cheers. 😎
Good job. This was good information that was interestingly provided in a light-hearted way. I'll let my Optician make the adjustments this time since my glasses are new. Next time that I need a minor adjustment and after I view a couple more videos, I might give adjusting them myself a whirl. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words!! Glad you found it helpful and hopefully it helps you fine tune more in the future (or know when it’s time to go in for a re fit or adjustment 😎). 🥂
Great advice on frame fit, particularly the spring effect on acetate frames that cause the nose sliding situation. I have a pair of uber solid acetate frames that I need to try this magic on. Be great to have a vid on safely heating acetate frames for those of us that don’t have access to an optical wizard such as yourself.

Any tips for adjusting titanium arms around the ear? (Frame is acetate). Also, is it appropriate to add thin silicone or foam nose pads to help snug the bridge up a bit? I wear invisible bifocals (don't know the right term for them) so adjustments can be a little tricky to keep that sweet spot. Thanks so much. Cheers. 😊
Shoot I keep a special tool just for that. Titanium is easy to kink and hard to bend smoothly. Generally I avoid adding anything to the bridge once lenses are cut due to that exact issue.
Hey there, I know you made tons of 'how to adjust' videos but couldn't actually find a guide how to adjust frames where the temples are too tight on the side of my head and squeeze it? Where should I bend the temples and which way? Is it possible at all? Or sometimes it's simply due to the hinge-to hinge distance and have to accept that some temples are just too tight even if the frame itself doesn't seem to be small on the face at all? I hope it makes sense, thanks for your advise!
Thanks for this great video! I have been adjusting my own glasses for years now, but I still often have the sliding down the nose issue because I find that if I bend the arms to fit snug on the ears it really hurts behind my ears (feels like a vice around my head after a couple of hours). I have a ski slope type nose (not much of a bridge) so I think that might be part of my problem as well. I always wear acetate frames as opposed to metal. I was wondering if the little silicone pads might help prevent the sliding down.
You’re welcome!! So, they help but in your case won’t be enough as those stick on pads still won’t make enough contact with the bridge to matter. A frame designed for this type of fit, or at minimum built up pads to make the fit proper in the first place are key. TC Charton makes frames specifically for this type of bridge, and once you’ve worn one it all just clicks 🥂
You want the fix without the blather go find a professional to do it for you. But wait, half of the “pros” aren’t. Why? Because they don’t want to go deep into the knowledge either. 🥂
Very clear and precise descriptions of how you should and why you shouldn't do things a certain way. along with the warnings about how you can wreck the frames or lenses. If that's all too much, just ignore the video and keep bending them till you fail...
might put duct tape on my ear lol. I'm just tryna find ways to see while I wait for my parent to take my broken pair to the eye doctor to get it fixed. If theres a less corny method than duct tape that'd be cool, I'm here for the ballsy looks, but not going anywhere professional at all so it's fine. Read something like "nose pads" in a different vid's comments. I just wanna spend 30 sec so I can do some gaming without bein' so blind. Good work you're doing Glasses Guy keep it up!
could u explain why the method at 21:20 help? I tried to visualize, but if it sits higher at the temple, wouldn't it shift the front downwards? i'm having so much anxiety from glasses and honestly there aren't any optometrists that are good at making adjustments, they can only do basic adjustments. please help me. I have tried shifting the nosepads inwards closer tgt so that they sits higher, tried bending the temple only behind the ears, shfiting the temple legs inwards so that the glasses doesn't fit too wide or too narrow (the glasses should touch slightly at the region just in front of the ear right?), also tried bending the back of the temple to perhaps an 80 degree which it doesn't works, but 30 to 45 degree doesn't works as well. I'm not sure what else can I do. i can't pinch the nosepads closer to the frame as in 19:35 as the top of the frame are already touching the bone below my eyebrow.
it's about shifting the overall blaance point of the frame so there is less weight on the front :) Think of it like a teeter totter and moving the pivot location based on where you sit rather than just at the end. Similiar concept :)
I have a small width face and it seems like I can only find adult small/ kids large glasses online. I went to America's Best which did not have any kind of narrow adult frames so I had to choose something from the kids section. It just seems a little degrading. They fit good but I ended up not liking them. I wish there was more options online for my preferences because I like a really wide and tall lens so it doesn't feel like my vision is restricted. Do you have any recommendations or what are your thoughts?
If there is no contact whatsoever between the frame and the sides of the nose, does that mean that eyeglass frame is not the correct size for that person?
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 If a plastic eyeglass frame has a metal wire running inside its temple arms, does this mean that it's easier for an optician to "adjust" the temple arms so that the frame fits better or more comfortably on the wearer's head?
@rainbow20112011 most acetate frames have this, and yes generally it helps the temples hold shape depending on the corewire material. Of course if the frame front is a low grade material that will still flatten easily and cause problems.
Maybe wear full coverage shoes around the turtles 😎. Hopefully not one of those alligator snappers we have around here. Or you have no more pinkie toe 😱
I don't wear plastic glasses. They slip down. I just want the knowledge before I see the optician. I'm from Alberta in Canada. If you know an optician that I can see, that would be great. Thanks
For slipping generally plastic or metal the adjustment is the same, jus the approach to make the bends is different :). I know some great opticians around Canada(I know one for sure in red deer because that name just shocked me 😂 I’ll find out where they’re located and get back to you 😎)
That should’ve been addressed before ordering ideally. But too far is entirely relative, and dependent on facial structure. Anywhere between 8 and 18mm away from the face is totally within an acceptable range. An acetate frame can be shaved down for a closer fit, but I can promise you most shops won’t go that far.
Wish most people would state videos like you do. Minutes in I now understand why my glasses slip. I’m new to eyewear. I subscribed and look forward to your videos. Keep up the great job and thank you for your help.
Thanks so much! 🙌. Glad this helped you out too! I’ve got a ton of content in the playlists that are awesome for new wearers. Hope you find plenty more useful info! 😎
This is the real deal fix. Unless the frame is a wet noodle that won’t hold an adjustment (some junk out there is) then this is the way to go. Literally all about making the frames fit properly :)

Not necessarily. A bad fit for sure, but that doesn’t always mean the frame size is the problem.
