What glasses are you rocking right now (if any)? And what's a shape or color you'd like to experiment with? 😊
I am wearing black frame round glasses which I got two years ago. I’m planning to get a new one. I’m thinking of going for either a clear one like the second one you showed in the video or with silver metal frame.
Tom Fords are my favorites
@@bletwort2920 I think both would be a great choice for a second pair since you already have the classic black and round!
@@AgiIeBeast The ones I chose for Moin in the video would look great on you I think!
@@thisistotallyfine Tom Ford has some cool stuff for sure!
Dang those guys were lucky af. I’d honestly pay to get an individual recommendation on what glasses to wear.
Fly me out and I got you haha!
Where do you live ??? 😂
why don't you have a seat over there?
@@weirdo-gj5xz 😂😂
Lol. There are people who do that for a living- I’m one of them. Go see an optician. Usually it’s included in the cost of your glasses if you buy them from a quality shop.
Honestly, a great pair of glasses can really be a glow-up to anyone's face. A lot of people think it's a bad thing to wear glasses (early on or later in life), but if you get the right ones for you, it can look better than without.
100% agree with that !!
I had my eyes tested last week and was told I need glasses (and I need to start wearing them everyday as soon as I gets them) but I haven’t bought a pair yet because I can’t find any I like. There are lots of cute pairs but every pair I try on makes me look worse. I can’t find any that make me look good. And I just can’t make the conscious decision to wear something that makes me look worse. I also just don’t know how to get the glasses to work with my hair. I don’t know what to do because I really need glasses but I just don’t like any of them. My optometrist also said I should wait before trying contact lenses.
@@rachelcookie321 I hope you can find a good pair pair soon :( don't be afraid to try even the quirkiest ones or if you end up trying the completely frameless ones. Good luck!
@@CB-dy1he it’s a bit weird right now with covid. I want to try on lots of glasses but they need to clean them after each person has tried them on so I feel bad for trying on 20 pairs because that means the next people to come in can’t try them. Trying on glasses in general is hard right now. It’s hard with masks because it’s harder to think with a mask on and then you gotta keep taking the mask on and off when trying them. I wish I got glasses earlier this year when you didn’t need to wear masks here but I also had good eyesight then.
Yes!
Is it just me or does tim looks like an asian john wick??
First time I've heard that one haha!

I'm female and I watched!
My mom said it’s inevitable that I’ll need glasses when I’m older. My mom and my aunt both have astigmatism so I have a high chance of having it too. I’m watching this so I can know what fits me when I’m older. I’m sorry if you didn’t ask. Just wanted to share. :D

I have been shopping for glasses for 8 months. Can't find any that I like, if I do they are too big or don't come in a color I like. Not too many glasses come in a size 48 or 49!
Don't leave us hanging, what'd you end up with?!
@@pamelasweeney1370 that's my problem as well... hard to find size 48 or 49 (

Hey guys, its an optical dispenser here! Here are some more things to consider when picking frames
- Is the frame touching your cheeks?
(frames are most comfy when resting on the nose not the cheeks)(consider metal nose pads or a plastic bridge)
- If you have a high prescriptions try not to go for big frames
(the bigger the lens, the heavier on the face)
- If u have a high prescription, try plastic frames! (if you don't want to pay $$ for thinner lenses)
(Plastic frames hide lens thickness better than metal)
Good luck to everyone finding their perfect match!
I must disagree. Larger frames /large lenses are preferable for strong prescriptions, especially if you need Progressive lenses. Small lenses are a nightmare for Progressives. Never recommend basic plastic lenses for people with stronger scripts. They should go up to the next tier of lenses, which are much thinner ,and they accommodate the stronger scripts better, especially if you have astigmatism. They only cost about 30-40 dollars more, and it's money well spent. You don't experience blurring and distortion with the thinner lenses.
@@minigirl6379 Smaller frames are absolutely better for stronger prescriptions in order to keep weight and thickness down. Larger frames always equal thicker lenses on either the edges or center. It's not debatable.
Idk my prescirption total is higher than -12 and yea i prefer slight bigger fraames and im willing to pay for the thinner lens...like actually think about it. even if you get plastic frames the basic lense will still weigh it down especially with prescription as high as mine. However this is personal preference that really comes down to price. I pay for high index cause even with plastic frames i got lense that bulge out alot.
@@minigirl6379It’s one of the first things we learn as an optician, the larger the lens, the thicker the lenses will be. An RX of -6.00 -2.00 x 100, using a Trivex material, and using a 52-17 frame with a B measurement of 30 will be have thinner lenses than the same Rx in a 1.67 Hi Index material using a 55-19 frame with a B measurement of 40…
It all comes down to the index, especially if you need progressive lenses you should always take the bigger frames as you have more of the field of view which you then need.
I‘m also strongly myopic but I rather pay more for thinner lenses as they are more comfortable and can choose bigger frames as they suit my faceshape more but yes in some aspects you‘re definitely right!
i want to bring a friend like you when im buying my glasses frames!
Sadly, your optician should do this and more. It's a rare trait these days unfortunately.

I've read a lot of explanations of how to match glasses to face. This was the most straightforward explanation on the topic.
Oh thank you! That makes me happy to hear 😊
Agreed, 100%
exactly
I never find a perfect fit for me so I tend to go with rimless eyeglasses. Wish you could help me selecting a nice frame.
I can help :3
@@TheRealVivia how?
I like circular glasses or clear glasses! Which should I get?
@@dlskat I think you get two pairs when you get glasses so choose both!
I'm surprised how good those glasses looked on that red shirt guy - its the perfect glasses for him.
every dude in here is jealous of that guys jawline
For real haha!

Which jawline?
are u mongolian?
I think he is, i am mongolian too.
I’m an optician at an independent optometrist’s office near Birmingham, Al. This is by far my favorite part of the job. After we talk about all the science-y stuff, why they need anti-glare, and the patient’s prescription and needs (whether it is a computer pair, progressive etc), we’re essentially personal shoppers. So much fun!
Yess happy to hear you're enjoying your job as an optician! 😊
Omg, I wish the optometrist would help me pick glasses. I need an expert to tell me what glasses work best for my face. My mum just keeps saying everything looks good on me and agreeing with what I say.
I want Tommy Shelby glasses
@@Heroqudah and then complete it with the outfit
@nai hi! Yes, glasses for computer and/or reading will typically differ.
Long answer:
Computer glasses often help you see better in the “intermediate zone” which is roughly arms length whereas reading is certainly more close up. Because our eyes begin to lose their ability to accommodate to see up close around 40, depending on your age your optometrist might prescribe an “add”. This will help your eyes be more comfortable up close. If you’re under that age, your doctor may still prescribe a small “bump” in prescription to make it more comfortable for you. That small bump is what I personally have.
What to tell optician:
Start by telling them exactly what you told me: you work on the computer and you read. They will walk you through the process and help you out with their best options for you. They’d be able to tell you, based on your RX, if you need a progressive, computer lens, reading, single vision, etc etc. I’d definitely get an anti-glare coating too!! I hope this helps. (Sorry for the novel!)
Also (if your confused) if you have a mix of blue and green veins, that means your neutral. So you can chose whichever metal color you want if the glasses have metal.
Exactly! Don't know why I skipped that part.
Mine look kinda purple. Is that cool undertone?
But I'm gonna put the glasses on my face not on my dck
Carla Marie Yes, you do have a cool undertone
I needed this!
So in conclusion the glasses that I spent 300 on weren’t the right ones for my face...
I feel you 😐
Zuri Partido I feel you too, god dammit
Woah i spent 400 on my current one
Fuck I feel you
Therss no right or wrong. If you like em that's all that matters.
Oh man that first guy was trying so hard not to smile it was so cute
Big rounded shape glasses are my thing right now because I was going for that “trend” thing. But I actually regret it after that, because I’m asian and I don’t really posses a long pointy nose. Thanks for this! I’ll go to the store again ro change my frames.
Glad I could help 🙂
this is why im a bit scared to be trendy
bakago my advice to you is just be practical. Choose that kind of glasses where you can use it daily and in everywhere. I only use mine when reading and holding my phone even though I should be using it everyday, because it slips on my nose 😭😭😭😆😆
@@clairerafisura2280 wow thanks for the advice. glad yt recommended this for me
Trends in eyewear are more material than shape bound. Like right now there's a nice blend of thinner metals, where just a few years ago chunky accetates dominated. Shape and fit still come down to your face and style. It's hard to ever go wrong with a good accetate, but now more pastel and clear/champaign colors are dominating that realm, while tortoise and blacks will always live as the classic traditional colors. Bridge fit matters above all else when it comes to comfort ;)
Watching this video _after_ ordering my new glasses😢
Sorry! 😐
If your optician didn't help you in this way, don't return to that optician. But now you know for next time! Tim does an excellent job going over the broad strokes here! :)
ouch
This video should come with a disclaimer that while this is all good advice to start with it in no way prepares a person to truly fit their own glasses. But yes, personal style is very important and sometimes forgotten when choosing glasses.
So first of all, 16 frames isn't a very wide variety of styles to choose from, especially when many of them were aesthetically similar from the start. Only 2 that I saw had any sort of angular quality to them. There was also not a lot of width variety available, and I was shocked that Alex didn't end up in a narrow fit frame.
Second, you left out 2 extremely important fit points. The first is aesthetic and that is the brow line. Yes, the brow line is partially defined by face shape but with glasses it's a focal point and needs to be paid extra attention. Ideally glasses should always stop at or below the eyebrow, not above, and they should try and follow your brow line. Lifted brow, straight brown, drooped brow. Most men have a straight or drooped brow, most women have a lifted or straight brow. There are exceptions to this rule, when you get a man with a lifted brow and sense of adventure, don't be afraid to embrace the cateye.
The other fit issue not addressed is perhaps ***THE MOST IMPORTANT THING*** I've learned working as an optician, THE NOSE BRIDGE. Some people will come in with a preference for metal nose pads or molded plastic nose bridge, the thing to note is that while a well fitted plastic nose bridge will be the most comfortable way to wear glasses, a badly fitted bridge can be the most painful or just must obnoxious pair of glasses you'll ever have. Always check for gapping in the bridge fit, it should be making as much contact with the top and side of your nose as possible. You also have to consider, do I have a low bridge? Do I have high cheekbones? If either of those answers are yes you should probably stay away from plastic bridges in western retail markets. If you have a West African-esque bone structure and bridge you'll find some brands like Sean John or sometimes MCM will design specifically for you, unfortunately if you're East Asian or just a white girl with a button nose you're out of luck most of the time, stick to metal nose pads or ask if they have anything with a "universal bridge". Some cities, like San Francisco, will have eyeglass stores that specifically for the East Asian market, giving you more options. Just keep in mind the largest optical company in the world is based in Italy, Essilor Luxottica, and as such is designed primarily for Caucasian noses. I could literally talk about nose bridge fit all day, so I'm gonna stop now.
Third, always take into account your prescription when choosing a frame. For most people this isn't an issue but for stronger (and sometimes lighter) prescriptions it absolutely is. If you have a light Rx and don't want to spend the money to upgrade to the thinner more durable polycarbonate lenses DO NOT get an open bottomed frame finished with nylon wire (called semi rimless) or a completely frameless drill mounted frame, your lenses will not be strong enough for these styles. If you have an Rx over + or - 5.00 consider smaller and rounder lenses, they cut down on lens thickness.
Any brick and mortar eyeglass shop should have opticians on staff trained to help you with your selection. I completely agree with Tim that your personal style is very important when it comes to glasses. If you and your optician aren't jiving on style ask their advice about fit (bridge, temple length, frame width, prescription) but know that you hold the power over style selection, don't let them force their style opinions onto you.
Side note, cool metals look amazing on warm skin tones. In the US gold is the trend for higher fashion glasses right now, in fact silver can be very difficult to find, especially for women. But in Korea or Japan silver is much easier to find on the market, because it looks fantastic on warm skin
Woah thanks, that was really helpful :)
I'm gonna change into a new pair of glasses soon bc the plastic bridge of mine broke and we couldn't find any opticals that have spares of those. I used to wear those semi rimless frames bc they were my previously my mum's and she probably just didn't want to spend on new frames that time and yeah my optical back then also advised me to pick full framed glasses the next time I switch since my lenses are about .4cm in width. I'm planning to get wire-framed specs. Like the trendy ones right now in places around Korea, probably the metal ones you're talking about but I'm a little skeptical since they are relatively thin. Would those do despite my thick lenses? I hope you can reply to this it would be a great help😅
Omg! I hope you're my optician cause im really confused until now what to buy as my Eyeglasses 😭 do you have instagram?
LOVE THIS.. I just bought my first pair and it's definitely on the safe side style-wise and fit is alright. With this advice i can go back for another one that might be a better fit for me.
Great advice! I have tried local opticians, none really advised. It was more a „take what you like“. Are you available for advice, like online consultation against payment?

Best of luck with your apprenticeship! I'm sure you're going to rock it! 😊
@@TimDessaint yep!!
Dessaint here to crush all the customs myth.
I have a very high eye grade and everytime I try to choose frames I literally struggle to “see” if it fits me well or not. It would be awesome to have this kind of help in optical clinics 😅
Not really the same but I was struggling to see what I looked like with the glasses on because of the stickers on the lenses. They just sat at the bottom of my vision and it was really hard to look past them and properly process what I looked like.
I haven't watched the video yet. But that was also my struggle when I picked my glasses today. Especially I was also hesitant to take off my mask to see how it really looks on me. Hopefully I actually did pick a good one when I go pick it up.

This is SO true!!!
Take a photo of yourself with your phone in the potential glass frames

You made me remember how hard it was to find a nice frame for me. Three days going shop to shop then found the simplest square ish type with see through grey that almost looks black BUT NOT BLACK. The black made me look tired. It was almost laughable how such a little difference made a big change
My glasses makes my eyes look beautiful, progressive mainly for reading so they magnify my eyes, I've always been a makeup wearer so the glasses shown them off bigly😊

I'm very flattered! Thank you so much 🙏
Oh, man I had a similar story. I hate wearing glasses. I got astigmatism so glasses are kinda inevitable, but I would try and convince myself I didn't need them even if everything was a little blurry. Until I got a new pair and it felt good wearing glasses again. Never took 'em off unless it's sleepy time
Yess love hearing these kinds of stories! Glad to hear you found glasses you love Gabby 😊
You’re like John Lennon and Yoko Ono mixed 😅

Moin trying so hard not to smile too much or even trying to hide his blush is so freaking adorable.
This was a really cool take on the more standard glasses video! Don't need prescriptions but I've been shopping for sunglasses, and your note about personal style is super important, I appreciate you not just stopping at face shape.
Thank you Patrick! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video 😊 You can definitely apply these tips to find sunglasses as well.
For that second fitting, I literally said "whoa" out loud. Those glasses were perfect.
Everyone:”doesnt wear glasses but watches the video”
Me: needs glasses and blue and uv glasses bcs i needed to face screens all day * cant afford glasses *
If its a work station you are always at, you maybe able to adjust the moniter or the computers colour levels, which might give a similar effect. (blue light tricks your brain into thinking its daytime!)
Try buying on places like eyebuydirect, Zenni, and Firmoo. They’re more affordable and you can find good deals.
Moin looking extra crispy 🔥 got a great sartorial flare...plus he's part of the round tortoise shell gang. Once I moved away from the thick black rectangle hipster frames, I found what I love. Fantastic as always, brother!
Thank you brother 🌹
He definitely knows how to dress! It was a lot of fun styling his glasses 🙂
So happy that you enjoyed it mate!
I'm really into glasses lately and enjoy shopping them. This was fun to watch and I loved that you included your subscribers :)

I’m going to buy new glasses today so this is how I’m ‘studying’ for it. Thanks for the video really helped.
Hope you find a pair you love! 😊
I've always been hesitant when choosing glasses but maybe next time I get glasses, I'll feel more confident in my decision. This guide made it a lot easier to understand what will work for me. I'm sure I'll struggle still haha but now I'm excited to choose my next pair
So happy to hear that! Let me know how it goes for your next pair 🙂
@@TimDessaint it went really well actually. I went with a similar style (a little more squared) but this time they were wide enough to where the glasses don't look too small haha. I feel much more comfortable walking around in them. Next, I'll try for a different color. Thanks again for the video, it's a lifesaver!

I appreciate it man, thank you! 🙏🙂
I took the plunge and picked out my very first pair of glasses from specsavers last week. I have a soft and round face with pronounced eyebrows so I thought the angular ones would suit, I'm glad I made the right choice. I chose the Arlo frames and got a pair of sunnies too, the Dunbar sun rx. My skin complexion is pale, (I'm a ginger). The translucent grey of the Arlo looked good I thought. Also rounder frames are in fashion right now so I wanted to go against the grain and got some square ones!
That east asian looking dude became 100 when he tried the eyeglasses on.
Hey I’m trying to give me some form glasses so I just come to my house my address is 190098 now come out so just come so I just need some because I’m affecting my eyes and I I’m just trying to get some Bruh I’m just trying to get some so come to my house and knock on the door ring on the doorbell and tell me my package is here because I am straight one in days
Wish I saw this video before I chose my frame and colour😭😭 but I will make them work.. I couldn't get a thin frame because of my type of lens.
Yess I'm sure they look great 😊 You can always bookmark the video to come back to for your next pair!
@@TimDessaint definitely!!! Thanks
is it true that the thicker the lens the more appropriate it is to pick plastic frames instead of the thin metal ones?
@@machigiceb7788 I really am not sure on the type of material but I was told I have to get a thick frame.
why wont anyone talk about the nose shape for glassrs
Hey Tim! This is the first video I watched of you and been a subscriber and follower since. I just got my glasses and they fit my face shape really well and got a lot of compliments. Thanks for this man!
Thank you very much! I'm happy to hear that 😊
Choosing glasses is the most stressful thing it’s so hard for me to pick them out I always feel like I end up choosing wrong
This video is so explanatory. He's really taking time to teach this. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching 😊
The mean thing about my glasses was
I couldn't see really well when I choose mine. For a few years I thought it was okay because I was afraid of trying another shape too...but as I'm growing older and also learned to know myself a bit more I find out that square frames doesn't really fit me. Just for fun I've had once an accessory glasses with a rounder, thinner frame on and it looked so much better on me. Unfortunately I feel like I can't do anything because my mom wouldn't let me get a new one :(
It's been two years,did you get one now?
I just change my glasses. I chose a semi round one with 8 edges, a metal frame in silver and black. I just chose a very light glass frame.
I tried lots of frames in different shapes and style. And i just discovered that round glasses fit my face more. 💛
Thanks for the tips
i already watched the vid the first time you launched it and here are RE-watching it again, Thank Youuuu Tim🖤
It seems like I picked my first glasses right out of my instinct but your advice assured me. ❤️
Holly heck dude 😂 this came in clutch, I'm going later this afternoon to buy sunglasses for the first time
Haha right place right time! Have fun shopping 😊
I've been wearing the same tortoise glasses for almost 10 years, since it always feels like a huge responsability to make the change. Thank you for this video, I'll consider a new sharp pair of glasses this year!
Mine broke and now idk what to do lol weird part is I feel weird without glasses 😂 like it's my natural face but 😢
the 3 guests you had on that day were actually such chill people, really like this new idea
For me it was the opposite story with glasses, I remember sometimes stealing my father's glasses just because I thought glasses were super cool. Now, I may not like them as much as I did when I was younger lol, but I still don't mind them, I am already very much accustomed to them
When I was a kid I really wanted glasses and intentionally tried to do bad on eye tests (I didn’t like lying though so I would just stare at it longer before answering lol) but never got glasses. Now I’m 16 and I need glasses but I really don’t want them because I couldn’t find any that looked good on me and they don’t work with my hair.

I love tortoiseshell frames - especially the narrow/slim wayfarer style. Always my first choice. It's timeless.
Btw I think you have great style - the turtleneck, earring, ponytail, beard. Absolutely on point my dude!!
More men should wear turtleneck sweaters. It immediately separates a guy who is aware of his appearance than one who just throws something on
Tim - as usual, a well produced video. Nice frames and excellent eyewear details!
I'm wearing Hermes studio glasses light rose gold color
a little circular and it honestly fits very well with my face
Glad to hear you found a pair to your liking! 😊
I needed this, I have to wear glasses all day every day and this helped. I was so confused because of all the shapes and colors. I am going to get some other glasses, maybe i’ll feel more okay with wearing glasses. So thank you🙌🏻
So glad to hear that! Hope you find a pair you love 😊
I remember watching this vid when it came out, Tim. It was my first vid by you.. So glad to see how far you've come from then!
I really love the light frame on the 2nd glasses! Man I love glasses on anyone. Styligh glasses are such a great accessory, you can show your personality through them. I'm getting mine soon.
I have a more round face with soft features, long hair. But I came to the conclusion that round glasses don't look good on me, and Rectangular glasses looked better. Others thought the same as well, so it was between black and a glossy dark blue. Black is a classic but my god the blue looked bright and gorgeous under the sunlight. So that's what I chose, dark blue Rectangular glasses.
*thank goodness I have a round head, I can wear just about anything*
Love this channel! So much positivity! Also you did a good job picking out those glasses man!
Thank you Joselyn! Glad to hear you're enjoying the content 😊
I got my first glasses today, and then I got this video in my recommendations 😂
I'm glad to say that I nailed it with my pick, my face is fairly angular, and I went for round glasses that I really liked. I was honestly excited to get them, because it felt like my face was missing glasses!
fairly angular? mf you can cut your veggies with that jawline sheesh
I have a similar face structure like James’ and coincidentally, I’d search for the kind of glasses that Tim picked for him! I guess I’m on the right track.
Dude is 17 and a martial instructor. Hats off sir.
Bro, I love your channel! The aesthetic and clarity of your topics is amazing! I don't even wear glasses and I watched this video:) Excited to watch your channel grow!
Thank you so much for your kind words Jason! Really appreciate it 🙏
This is a great video! I saw on this video though that none of them were really heavy on lens size and I think you should have another video recommending glasses to people with heavier prescriptions as the metal wire frames don’t really work on us haha. It’s also cool to hear that this is Australian as I heard the guy talk about UNSW ( University of New South Wales
Thank you so much for this video! It's concise, super informative and just...perfect!! Thanks so much!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
You gave everyone round glasses even if they have round faces though...lol
My vision is starting to get a tiny bit blurry. Not blurry enough that I need glasses yet, but I was really worried and scared to get glasses.
Now, after this video, You made it seem like glasses are a fun accessory! I’m kind of excited to pick out glasses when I need them now! Thanks for that :))
They all look great!! Tim really has his magic. Especially the last one. He looks so cute with the glasses
Been trying different styles, but I always go back to my square-shaped Tom Fords.
Simple black with the gold logo on the sides.
Hey if it works, it works! 😊
Damn I'm late, but not too late. Great vid as always Tim, Keep it up!
Thank you very much! I always appreciate your support! 🙏😊
At first I thought there couldn't be all that much to selecting a good fit for glasses. But my god did you nail each and every pair. I'm going to have to replace my glasses in the next 6 months and I NEEDED this video
Glad to hear the video helped out! 😊
I remember back then in highschool, i got medium sized black glasses that had a mix of harsh/soft edges to it (mostly harsh). rarely ever worn them cause i always thought i never looked good in glasses. until basically when i graduated i decided to start wearing them because contacts was just getting too expensive for us and ive noticed my perscription was getting worse because of it (-3.00). i've worn those for about 2 years until i decided to buy new ones because i started to feel like those glasses didnt suit me anymore and it felt/somewhat looked bulky for my face, basically all the attention was towards my glasses so it wasnt balanced with my face shape (diamond) and basically made me looked washed out etc. A little over a year ago i decided to go with a new shape (cat eyed) and clear glasses and ever since then, im never going back to dark shades etc. and now i want another pair with the same style just slightly bigger and the color is clear pink. I'm now a -2.25 & -2.00 and i also have a yellowish undertone as well :)
8:15 McLovin, is that you?
Should have gone to spec savers ....
Wait ... they did
This video was so useful for me, like I didn't even know I needed this....
So I wear the Most basic model, and I used to think whatever frames u wear it will be ugly anyways but then I saw some people wearing these beautiful glasses which suite them and I'm actually really jealous of everyone who look good in glasses, will watch this video before I pick the right ones
I really like this video. It’s helpful and has a classy vibe. My issue with eyeglasses is my face is quite narrow and tiny with a very thin nose bridge. I’m in my mid 40s and I’ve recently been wearing kids glasses but the legs of the glasses can sometimes be to short. It’s challenging to find glasses.
Loved the idea to get your subscribers in the studio with you. It's very nice and very thoughtful of you. Great content as always
Awesome to hear you liked the concept! It was definitely new for me but I wanted to push myself outside my comfort zone 😊
everyone and everything is beautiful in this video 👌
Aw thank you! 😊
Going to get some glasses in the next few days after recently discovering im far sighted while driving. Very helpful video and i’ll know what to look for when i go. Thank you!
Wow thanks for sharing such an easy way to pick the right glasses for individual face shapes, much better than the controversial ways when some people can’t even tell what type of face shape they have)
I had literally 10 minutes to choose my glasses because other people had to wait outside during the pandemic 😭
@Wahiba T-shan hanako really is cute c:
@Wahiba T-shan i only watched the anime but i’m planning to start the manga too ^^
He's great!!! All the glasses he chose fit really well with the guys ❤
Thank you Raleine! 🙂
I just pick out whatever I like. I usually go for round or cat eye. I have two pairs of cat eye frames that I have to take to get the prescription put in . One clear and one metal frame.
Truly great advices and so true, having fun with eyewear and yet pick one that matches your style is really the key
Thank you! That's it! Gotta have fun expressing yourself through your eyewear too 😊
When you moved the camera over all the glasses I'm like yup that's about how many I have lol. #iLoveGlasses
#LoveGlasses haha
I just started watching your channel, and I got an email saying it was time for my eye appointment. I thought to myself, "I wonder if Tim has a video over glasses."
Great timing haha!
Haha right on time! 😉
Thanks bro, i've recently started a job at eyewear shop, this video helps me a lot.
Fun Fact: Before this i've worked in the garments industry about 12 years.
I recently changed my style from oversized to rectangular metal frame and I am surprised they look good on me and make me look studious 😁
Btw I think you are the most active youtuber on this earth... You simply replied to nearly all the comments 😀
To be honest I've never really liked spec-savers glasses as I always find the frames to be too small for my face ,However I love the affordability . I haven't yet tried the 'branded' glasses such as converse or similar . I will maybe have to save up to buy a 'designer' pair as they might come in more size variation :O
I had my eyes tested last week and I went to OPSM because my mum thought Specsavers was too pushy and she liked OPSM. My experience at OPSM was pleasant but the glasses were way too expensive. 90% of them were over $400. They even have Chanel and Gucci glasses. I went to Specsavers and found they had a lot more ‘normal’ glasses and a lot cheaper. All the designer ones were all were unique designs and very out there. I actually tried on a pair of converse glasses at specsavers and thought it was really interesting that they made glasses. Now that I think about it, I should of really tried on the Gucci glasses while I was in OPSM because it will probably be the only chance I get to touch something Gucci lol.
