Hi, Iím Craig from The Sunglass Fix and today we have a prepared a Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses
that have come into this lab that have a broken lens so to get opportunity for us to demonstrate
how to remove lenses from a Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglass and how to install your replacement
lenses that you got from the Sunglass fix. In this situation, the broken lens can be
removed by just basically pushing out on it while supporting the frame like this. We suggest
youíve got disposable paper towel now you never clean your glasses by something basically
acts like sandpaper but in this situation since weíre gonna be throw in a way where
you use in it for protection and collect the glass and keep your content. In this situation
we again support the frames with your fingers on the outside and weíre gonna push the lens
out the front like so..You see that? Which wanna do is you wanna make sure you collect
the broken glass pieces in charge.
Okay and I usually clean this with hot soapy warm just to make sure remove all glass before
you install your replacement lenses otherwise you may damage this as well and you got a
couple options with the unbroken lens the first option that you could use is you can
use a cloth to protect the frame and a pair of pliers and if youíre very careful not
to hit the rim you can actually break the lens and repeat the process that we did here
with the broken lens to remove it by pushing it off the front and in that situation which
you are need to do since it is such a stiff plastic frame with the firm glass lens is
now a lot of flexibility so try to pull it out and do a typical, remove all your sunglasses
can be quite difficult so we apply heat that on we have two options. Itís some hot tap
water about 60 degrees Celsius or probably about 150 degrees Fahrenheit so this is how
you usually get out of the tap but not boiling the water by any means. You can soak the lenses
for 30 seconds or alternatively you can use the hair dryer on a high heat setting lower
air flow and heat the portion of the frame we think the lenses gonna be taken out from
first in this situation with the Ray Ban youíre looking for the demist portion of the lens
where you can remove it. Here is where all sweat spot is on this Ray Ban Wayfarers in
some situations is near the nose on the bottom portion so we gonna soak this for 30 seconds
like such
remove the frame dry with the cloth pinch the frame at that sweat spot the tense
area where has the most flexibility pinch the lens as close as you can to that as well
and weíre basically tag a way of the frame and twist the lens out and if doesnít come
out fairly easily repeat the heating process with the hairdryer for 10 seconds or the hot
water now you donít have to go hotter or longer with the duration is just repeating
the process actually penetrates the plastic frame more deeply and builds more flexibility
but in our situation one heating process was enough of going to pop out right there, I
work around the frame and the lens pops out intact set that there you got your lenses
set that there you got your lenses
out now again of wash this of just made total certainly with thereís no glass charge where
the broken lens was clean the frame a little bit and now that weíve removed the lenses
from your Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses itís a time to install which is a lot easier than
actually removing them. Grab your replacement lenses from the sunglass fix and basically
install the arms side of the lens first in the top side up into the nose so basically
this quadrant up here work the lens around so that usually just one portion maybe the
sweat spot or you gather it out or maybe up here in the front and basically support the
frame with your two index fingers and push down with your thumbs and the lens should
snap whenever you put this. Repeat the process for the other side again for this quadrant
so install the top corner the arm piece first all the way the here so get that portion is
out so support it with your index finger push down with your thumbs should snap in the place..Like
such, so once their installed thereís a few safety checks that you wanna go through with
the installation.
First you wanna check and you wanna make completely sure that the entire circumference of your
rim is installed and that the lenses is sticking up of some other part because as we push down
there or force it up in a different area so. Secondly once you sure the lenses is installed
just push *** the front supporting the frames with your fingers just to make sure
the lens cannot go through the frame thrust your eyes in any circumstances. Okay, the
third test that I do for fit is to twist the frames a bit just to make sure that the lenses
donít pop out and the last check is you can use the complimentary micro fiber case that
came with your replacement which is from the sunglass fix is to give it a really good clean,
vigorous clean and that should the lens should stay in place
and be perfectly fine so thatís
basically in short the demonstration on how to remove glasses from a hard plastic frame
sunglass like the Ray Ban Wayfarers and how that you install your new lenses.
Thank you for a buying replacement in which is from the sunglass fix and enjoy your new lenses
Thanks
