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!

We appreciate the time that you took to teach us the right way of adjusting glasses.

This is why I love the internet. Saves me a trip from going to the eye doc. Thank you, Ehow! Much appreciated!

I completely agree with Terrie Schweitzer
. A PERFECT example of what a how-to video should be. No fuss, no nonsense, clear and concise.

I've had glasses about 2 years and I finally decided to look for instructions on how to adjust them!
Thank you for your clear and concise explanations - very good! Well Done!

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!

Thanks so much, I ran out of contacts and my plastic backup pair has been my help. Fixing them now! You are awesome!

[skinnysenpai]

I was trying for 1 hour to find a video that will help me, and you actually did, my glasses fit great now, thank you.

[FlemNmzzzz]

This video is extremely well done. Thank you! Almost 10yrs after it's been posted, still golden.

[StRaine]

Much appreciated the time you took to teach! I managed to fixed my metal frames. Thanks a million!

[katherineparker]

This was SO helpful! Thank you! I order most of my glasses online so I have to adjust them when they arrive and I had no idea how to do it.

[anadelgado]

Thank you for this great video! I went to the optometrist today where my son got his glasses 2 years ago, since I refused to make an appointment they told me they would charge me $15 to adjust them!! Needless to say they just lost 4 customers.

[TimHopkins-ju]

Clear and concise directions. Very helpful.

[smashleybreaks]

This video was a TREMENDOUS help! Thanks a million!

[SilverHornet]

Today, this is the greatest Youtube 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 Youtube (You idiot)!! And wallah. Hair dryer does the trick??? Such a simple thing that I would have never thought about. Thank

Thank you so much. My glasses were crooked, and it was visually bothering me to hell and back. Now they're straight again. You're a big help!

[sowolfx]

Thank you. The first trick worked. I didn't had to heat anything. Just slightly pushed a pressure and I then kept shades on table and it aligned perfectly. Liked!
