    The shop refused to pop the lenses out of my partner’s normal glasses and put them in her identical sunglasses frame telling her it would cost lots of money. This video helped me do it in under 60 seconds. Thank you.

    Thanks for this tip. I struggled for quite a while trying to fix mine. However, my lens and frame are both quite thick so it was still too difficult, so I put the lens into the refrigerator and put the frame into a bowl of hot water for about five minutes then I was able to snap it back in place. Thanks again.

Lenses switched out without incident and the bonus is the new frames fit with no adjustment needed. woohoo

    @eusebioa23 Před 5 lety +2

    Thanks! Broke 5 year old lenses. Found the frame on ebay. Followed your directions and now have my favorite glasses back!
    I was struggling with this, too. But with plastic lenses (polycarbonate), when I pushed down on the part of the lens closest to the nose and pushed up in the middle of the lens, they bend enough to get the nose part in. With the two outside edges seated, the middle easily is seated with light pressure.
    Seems like the frames are going to be more fragile than the lenses. So it makes sense that you can bend the lens a bit with less chance of that breaking than your frames. Not sure if this would work on glass lenses.
    Good luck, everyone!

    Thank you! I have plastic Ray Bans and my lens was just laying next to the glasses when I woke up the next day. I couldn't take them back because I'm out of town. I tried other optometrists and Designer /Specialty eyewear boutiques. They were no help. Well one did offer to send them out and have them reset for $195 and it would take 6 to 8 weeks. No thank you! I always google and yTube search everything, why not putting in my glasses lens. After too many videos that wasn't about plastic frames or having me use a fingernail file to remove enough of the edges to make it fit. I was going to look at one more video if it's like the others ill just buy new ones in the morning. Yours was not like the others and I will not be getting new ones. I did what you said to do. It took several tries but that lens popped right back in. If I could add before and after pictures or even a video I would. You have blessed me and I truly thank you. I had surgery on my temple in March. I couldn't see clearly after it. I couldn't work or do anything. I had to wait to heal then go get my eyes checked for glasses. I only had them for a week and woke up with the lens out. I couldn't see or do anything for over 5 months. Im able to see again because of you. I won't have to wait again.
