After I watched it i tried it out myself and I did it perfect. I want to say thank you so much for the tip because of you my glasses are as good as new. keep up the good work and love your videos.

    I’ve got a pair of 1950s or early 60s sunglasses and there’s a slight bend in the nose bridge as well as in one of the lenses. I’m assuming this would work as well. I hope.

    Remove lenses b4 heating, else it will damage the coating (even if on a microscopic level). Also its best to use a plier.

    Oh my god. I know I might be overreacting but I cried before I watched the video. Why? I bent my glasses today and when I put them on they kept falling off my face and nose, I panicked and realized they were bent in a way. Told my dad and he said they look exactly the same. This night I tried to bent them with my fingers, like the whole glasses. I needed to search it up, and I swear I'll try this like tomorrow. Thank you, the results look good

    Does this actually work? I ran from a skunk and opened my porches sliding door to see if he was still there, the wind blew and a leaf moved, I panicked and tried to slam said door shut. Bent my side up something crazy. It's the first pair that actually stay on my head when I listen to Black Sabbath, and fairly new. I think I mildly concussed myself also, but ma frames!?
