Thanks on the tip about keeping your glasses inside the case and don't throw them away. I'm wearing my glasses for the first time and something was telling me to keep the cases on my shades and glasses just in case.
🙌😂 better to find out here than by the dog eating them 🤪
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 lol good point
I learned to do the same basic thing to clean - wet, detergent, use fingers, tissue.
Darn, I've left my sunnies in the car on the dash for years now, lol, they must be quite resilient.
Gets it every time! Just have to be careful not to use fibrous tissues, as some do contain more coarse fibers that can scratch 😁
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 tbh either tissues or good TP, but very reluctant to use paper towel. Something nice and soft.
I remember first getting glasses as a kid and not realizing they need to be cleaned... when I finally cleaned them it was a revelation.
Black and blue glasses, don't think i've seen them before!
Just got these last week. Designed them a year ago 🙃😁
Eye fashion indeed 😅
Oh my gosh. I never used straight up soap and water. I always used the spray or cloth. What a difference.thank you.
🥂 it’s amazing how much buildup just that one swap knocks out!
Hey Guy, decided to click your video because I'm an avid squinter and a new Glass Guy. Just wanted to tell you thank you for this very informative video. I felt so silly cleaning my glasses everyday before I sleep with the lens cloth and put them back in the case and my pls make fun of me due to me being extra careful about them. Glad I got half that part right. Asked the provider "Just with the cloth" and they told me yes. My question is a weird one.... "What if use Manwipes to wipe my glasses instead of the cloth?"
I wouldn't recommend it just due to the material those are made of. I'm not sure the makeup of the solution in them and can't comment on how it would affect coated lenses, but still likely to induce scratching. Just stick to soap and fingers 😎
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 say less, thank you!! Been doing the fingers and soap and I didn't think my glasses were that dusty!
First timer here I’ve always wanted to wear glasses and now I have to wear prescription glasses I’m so happy plus I realized I probably should’ve been wearing glasses lol but your glasses are really cool
It’s like buying a Porsche. There’s only a first time and never a last. 😂😳. Welcome to the dark side!! 😎
And thank you!
"There are puppies, there are kids , there are ghosts'...yep..and even cats.. LOL
You just never know where we’re gonna go here 😂
Got my first pair of glasses today and shit got real very quickly the entire world went from old vhs to 4k blu ray but also kinda wobbly and distorted, glad I found out that due to my nearsightedness and astigmatism is there anything I can do to make this new change easier on me, iv got 26 years without them
It’ll be tough but you’ll adapt pretty darn quickly and readily! The nearsighted adaptation is MUCH faster. Stick it out for a few days and you’ll be in a happy place. The biggest thing you can do is put them on the second you open your eyes and not take them off until you close them.
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 I have a small prescription, and often when talking to people next to me and wishing better eye to eye contact, I remove my glasses instinctively and no problem.
I'm getting my first glasses in a few days I'm so excited to be able to see but I'm so nervous
Nothing to be nervous about. Awesome sharp new world ahead! 💚
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 the first day it sucked bc headaches and nausea but I love that I don't have to squint anymore😭
The first few days to a week can be tough, but you’ll appreciate that sharpness and lack of strain at the day after the brain adjusts 😎
Love these tips!!!
🙌😎
Fairly new Subscriber here. Enjoying your videos. This question is not related to this specific video, so if you don't respond, I understand. I was wondering if you could speak on ordering prescription glasses through the internet? I see so many channels reviewing these sites and raving about their experience, or they're disappointed/angry about it. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground with their experiences. I've looked at a number of the websites, and it looks like you can spend as little or as much as you want, for glasses from these places. My question is this, these places require different information from each other, whenever you are shopping for glasses with them. One thing I noticed, is if you are needing progressive, bifocals or trifocals, most of them don't even require a Segment Height measurement. Isn't that pretty much crucial information if you are getting those types of lenses/frames? I noticed my local eye doctor, who only does exams, no glasses, doesn't include this info in the prescription, because he can't, because he has no idea what size/kind of frame you'll be getting through whoever you decide to go through. Sorry for rambling, but I just need to know if that Segment Height is important, because I've been wearing Progressives for years, and I honestly haven't been able to see much of anything out of my last 2 pair of glasses. I have bad Astigmatism too,and I just want to be able to get some glasses that I can see out of. I live in Texas, and you'd think I'd be able to find a pair of glasses here, but so far, I haven't . That's why I went looking online, and so far, I'm at a total loss which way to go to get glasses that I can see out of. Again, my apologies, for such a lengthy comment. I like your channel because it's extremely informative, and you kinda talk like I do, so you're very relatable to me. :)
😁 silent lurker got it. Welcome 😂. So I did get into this topic on another video... but it was more of a brief rant on how badly some opticians to at measuring this and I couldn't begin to tell you which progressive video that was 😅. There is a ridiculously simple way to calculate a rough estimation for a fitting height (nomenclature, proper term for segment height when referring to PAL lenses). I use this for remote customers as well, and honestly.... it "CAN" be more accurate than in person, if not as precise. An untrained measure is often best corrected using this method as well. Now, all that said, I don't know whether these sites are using this, or applying some algorithm that takes into account bridge design (unlikely). In my case, if I can see one frame on... thats the only reference I need because I can estimate where different bridge designs will sit on a nose based on the first pair. 🙃. I've spent a few years developing that as a personal skill, and tested it time and time again to great success ❤️🔥.
Great video. I’m learning a lot.
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the channel 😁
What type soap should i use? is it dish washing soap?
Haha you found it, good. I was trying to find the right video 😂. Any hand doap without added lotions is great! Dish soap should be saved for more occasional use like once a month or possibly weekly if you have very oily skin :)
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 Lol Ty
Getting my first pair of glasses in a few days , so nervous
Nothing to be nervous about. Got a whole awesome world to look forward to, and more importantly to see 😎
I have neurofibromatosis and one ear sits lower than the other, that same side the cheek bone juts out more than the other. how can i make glasse not warp on my face.
Glasses are made to be adjusted because nobody is symmetrical. A professional can handle this with ease, but the videos here and in the adjustment playlist can help you get squared away
my eyesight is 20/40, do you have any tips for that?
Unfortunately I don’t really. Visual limitations and lower vision aren’t really something I work much with, but 20/40 isn’t super terrible to live with if that’s your best corrected vision :). My mentor when I first started in this industry had been 20/20 vision his whole life and then slowly degraded to 20/40 while I knew him due to several medical issues with his eyes over that timespan. He got along great with just a little help on the super fine stuff. 😁. Regardless I wish you the best in your visual journey!!
Cool glasses. Great information
🥂
Whats the best frame material for glass lenses metal or plastic?
Whats the best frame material for trivex lenses metal or plastic?
There’s a lot more to it than that. How the bevel is made in the frame matters more to determine if it’s a good glass candidate than the material it’s in due to the bevel glass is required to be made with.
Trivex is rather universal, makes no difference what it’s mounted in if sizes and set properly.
in a different video you said 1.6 is your favorite overall with the blue light and overall clarity. So that would be better image quality overall then trivix 1.51 ones?
Not a fan of trivex for various reasons. But not just any 1.6 🙃. Hivex 1.601.
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 do u have any video on trivex so I can understand it better, I like how u explain things. My prescription is -250 . I really want best clarity for seeing distance and I am on a limited budget but the trivex they say has best image quality abbe value… how can I understand this all in 5 minutes or less, lol
@@ilovetorah I don't. I do have one on lens materials... but in gross terms Crown Glass is best in regards to optics and scratch resistance. Cr39 is a close second. Hivex is the overall best blend of weight and optics thst provides the most glass like experience. 🙂
Does tap water not leave mineral deposits or damage the coatings? You mentioned you’re not into essilor, what do you suggest for the best anti glare/ night time driving?
If you only have big names available zeiss drivesafe and their matching AR (It's a package solution) is HARD to beat 😁.
As for tap water, VERY VERY hard water sometimes can, but most soaps have ways to mitigate the hardness of tap water. Ideally of course if you just wanna rinse clean a total deionized solution is the way to go. But most people don't have that in their house :)
You can get bottled deionised water at Walmart for pennies
Yup! Use to utilize it back in my saltwater aquarium days!
I was rocking in my chair and got dizzy and nassated! guess I shouldn't do that! Someone please reply! I have new glasses for a week now!
Ild have a chat with your optician. If you've been wearing for a full week full time and still feeling that way wearing glasses something is likely amiss 🙂. Though I wouldn't advise rocking in the chair too much in particular anyways 😝
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 ok thankyou my Dr said it would take about 3 weeks because before this percription I had the same one for 5 years!
@@kristiecumbus9041 for vision and clarity I could for sure expect that in certain prescriptions and certain cases. But it's pretty darned unusual for any symptom to persist more than a week of full time wear if you've been wearing the new ones exclusively and seen no improvement.
Bruh! Im struggling with new glasses 😭 im not able to do focus properly on the things which are closer to me like on book etc
Just recorded a video on this today going up tomorrow 🥂. Great inspiration as it’s a real problem with new power often.
The glasses I bought at Fytoo had a dazzle coating😉
Must've been that lovely blue light blocking ar 😂
So I have a problem, so I got a new pair and my script changed very little almost none at all the sphere changed like 0.1 in 1 eye only. But there something wrong I've worn glasses my whole life and I have never had a problem adjusting to new glasses usually I love a new pair I always compare it to watching Blu-ray for the first time every time. With this new pair I feel like I can't focus and like your moving the whole picture and frame if that makes sense. now there are only 2 differences between my new and old 1 is a new Nike flex frame witch most of mine are stiff frames and they dilated my eye's before giving me my 1 or 2 portion of the test witch I have never had done like that before I told the Dr I couldn't focus right with my eye's like that now I have a pair of glasses that make me motion sick and make things look further away I even pulled a pair of glasses from 7 years ago and I was able to see just fine, same with the ones I just replaced. so my question is is it possible my prescription is wrong or a problem with my frames ?
There are actually alot of variables here, and without knowing more of what was going on I'm just going to stay out of it. I would recommend addressing these issues with your doctor. It could be a wrong RX, it could be your RX has been wrong for years and he's now correcting that, which will make adaptation much harder and longer, but overall make the eyes much more comfortable in the long term :) Give them a call, let them know something feels off. I'm sure they'll happily address your concerns with what they've seen in their exams :)
Hi, New Glass wearers here (about 1 month), I've been cleaning my glasses with water mild/very basic dish soap, and dry them with air duster so nothing touches the glasses (yeaa im that weird :D),however with all that effort of being extra carefull, I still get these tiny scratches that is visible only when I shine lights on my glasses. it kinda bothers me..is this normal tho? do you also get tiny scratches when you shine lights on yours? or is my coating (zeiss duravision silver) just not worth the money anti-scratch wise? wondering what your thought on this, thanks
Nothing wrong with that cleaning method! Depends on the environment but I wouldn’t really call that super normal. Though it’s been a while since I’ve worked with the lower tier Zeiss packages so I’m not sure the level of scratch resistance that costing should have, but if you’re not cleaning the lenses dry or rubbing them there should be little to no scratches appearing in a month unless you’re in a crazy dusty environment.
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 exactly what i thought 🙈
and the crazy thing is, im not in a crazy dusty environment, I spend most of my time indoors in front of my computer.
So this is my routine, rinse off possible dust/debris with running water, then add dishsoap, rub em with my fingers, then rinse the soap with water again, then dry em by blowing it with air duster (the one use for camera lens). Thats why it drives me crazy to find out that theres still scratches on it.
I want to try zeiss platinum, however its not available in my country, Do you think i should try another coating? Like crizal sapphire hr maybe? Or do you have any other suggestions for coatings thats good anti-scratch wise, i really wanna be able to not stress out over this, i want to be able to clean my glasses with diaper liners like you do 😁
Its my first day of glasses and i m so nervous about wether its the lens that dont adjust my sight or it was a mistake of optician who wrote the figures wrong, i can not things beyound 2 meter distance remember its the first day of my glasses. Would you please me clear my mind ? Does it happen to everyone in the beginning or its a an error of optician?
Hey! Really tough to say but I can tell you it CAN be entirely normal for some prescriptions. New astigmatism or plus power this is absolutely gonna happen, especially picking up later in the day. 🥂 put those suckers on tomorrow first thing when you wake up wear all day and see how things feel after a full day 😎
Where the F were these vids when I started wearing glasses? Mate you need to go back in time and reduce my misery for 10 long fucking years.
🥂 if only it were that easy! Never could get that flux capacitor working! 🥶. Ild be rich! 😂
I hope you could answer my question. I have the problem that I get peripheral distortion with my glasses. I bought two pairs online and both had it so I was fed up and went to an actual optician and paid a lot more money to receive better glasses, but unfortunately these also have it. My optician doesn't know why this is happening and it frustrates me because who else should know? :( wearing them full time didn't help, I had my online glasses for 3 years and even though I sometimes wear contacts, there have been periods where I exclusively wore glasses and no contacts and my brain didn't get used to it, the distortion around the edges is still there. I also get those strange yellow/blue coloured edges on high contrast images...
I swear we had this conversation, have I lost all of my marbles now? I mean.. I probably only had one left anyway... 😂
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 haha no worries, we did have this conversation under another video 😂 I posted this comment twice just to get the chances up that I might receive a reply, sorry! Many creators don’t ever reply to comments so I’m pleasantly surprised that you do!!
Always 🙌🙂
What ur height bro
Great Videos. Not a crizal guy as well. Subscribe ❤
🙌😁
Is it normal that I see a parallelogram instead of a rectangle? hahahah
It can be at first depending on the type of prescription and lenses. That should go away relatively quickly (inside of a week max) if not something needs tweaked or refined (rx or fit)
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 That is very helpful. Thanks a lot. New sub here.
