How to Take Off Eyeglasses Properly

Video Transcript

In addition to putting your glasses on, you can do a lot of damage by taking them off the wrong way, and matter of fact, I think you could do more damage. I'll show you why doing this drill mount. I'm going to put it on right with two hands, but then if you try to pull them off you're going to have to finagle the glasses, and you're going to put a lot of stress on different points that should not be stressed. This drill mount, for instance, has screws that are holding the lens in place. What you're pulling on is you're pulling on this fulcrum right over here, enabling, possibly, for there to be cracking, and ultimately if you do it hard enough, you're going to pull the temple out of the glasses. So that's definitely a drawback. So you want to, again, put the glasses on like this, two hands, pull them off, two hands. You don't want to put any stress. Again on the metals, you could uncoil the screw. That screw will become uncoiled, unthreaded, and you're going to wind up losing a lens, perhaps, if you put enough pressure. You do that repeatedly, that screw just keeps coming out. I will say it's probably the leading cause for people to bring their glasses back into me simply because the screw fell out. The screw is just becoming uncoiled because you're probably not putting them on or taking your glasses off properly, so remember to use two hands in both instances.
