Hello welcome to the clinic, I'm going to be reviewing,
measuring, checking the spectacles that you've accumulated from your family over the years.
I've placed the frames in this beautiful display case
have a look at the wood finish
it's very beautiful isn't it?
okay and just check the base of the case
There's a velvet felt finish there
okay and the individual sections
are beautifully woven there so let's get the first pair out, inspect and measure what they are
half eye reading spectacles there. look at the unique bridge,
flexibility, wrap around finish there and the plastic tips tip. two pads there,
very shallow lens designed to be worn like so.
through the lens to read over the top for distance viewing, so let's take the vital
measurements from these spectacles. lens height is about 21 and a half millilitres
eye size 50. Bridge size is about 21 there and the length to bend on these is about 95 millimetres on
that one side, lovely. And I just want to show you the lovely embossed finish there
onto the second pair
okay this is what's known as a supra pair of glasses, this lens is actually held in place
by a nylon cord, metal finish, have a little look at the sides there, a marvellous finish, we have
dark red tips, pads, again flexibility in the sides, the length to bend there
it's about 90. I'm just going to check the lens size for you
54 and the bridge is around 18 there, excellent, so that's the second pair
thirdly we have this plastic frame with the diamantes, very dark frame with the red inlay
there, again with a flexible side frame. have a little look at the diamantes there
lovely and at the side of the front
okay we can adjust the sides with some heat if needed. That side has been bent at around 85
quite a narrow bridge
at around 16, and eye size
okay 50 there, thank you. Marvellous pair. also in that phase you selected another pair of plastic
frames, this time you opted for the inner aqua colour there. Diamantes are located here
and here, it's a very floral pair, that is the side and the right and on the left there
flexible. I'm just going to have a look at the condition of the frame and the lenses
lenses are in excellent condition
85
85 so nice and symmetrical there
51 millimetres
and bridge 16 millimetres there. So what do you think of those frames?
Alright, I'm going
to move on to your tinted spectacles,
again they have flexibility in the sides, this is a gold metal frame, back to the pads there
minimal feel, almost oval lenses there, just observe through the lens
the slight brown tint there to protect your eyes somewhat from the the ultraviolet light.
Very thin sides, brown tips and well curved there
and on this frame taking those measurements
it's about 95. And the other side please, 95. And looking at the bridge, 20.
Eye size 46 millimetres there, okay, did you have a good time wearing those?
Did you have adequate protection from the sunlight?
Excellent, lens quality just on the left
some fine hairline scratches there, otherwise
excellent condition
a little bit of a squeak there so you might need the joints tightening up
Right, ah yes you have your matte finish sunglass pair there, quite a square lens there, minimally
angle of drop there. Okay no flexibility in the sides but the overall frame has
quite a bit of give compared to a metal one. Lovely, lens condition
one fine hair line scratch on the right
length to bend here
is around 85, for the left side
85, again, just checking the height of the lens for you
29, eye size
53 millimetres, and bridge there is 19, thank you. The matte finish makes lovely sounds there
okay you can't go wrong with those there ,very dark frame with the matching tint intensity there,
thank you. I'm glad you brought those in. We're going to look at your father's and mother's
bifocals here so these were your mother's very round pair of plastic bifocals there. She had
the flexibility in the sides, thin metal sides, the tips are thicker than the actual sides there
So very unique for the time. Unusually shaped bridge there,
D segment bifocals so she could wear them for distance and look down for the near tasks
pads, lens condition good, just need a little bit of a clean, very round
colour wise
unusual sort of like a greyish blue
okay let's have a look where the bifocal segment or the height was set
18 millimetres from the bottom, the eye size
43 and the bridge size
is around the 19mm there so that was your mum's D segment, round style bifocals with the metal sides
and the front is also metal and plastic, so it's a fusion there, lovely. Moving on to
your father's very large bifocals, very unique plastic front, gold metal sides, plastic tips,
well bent there, you can see how the bifocal has a curved on top compared to the D segment there,
large eye size, double bridged there
quite a few scratches located in the upper corner of the right lens there
other than that they're looking fine, there's no flexibility there, not much in the front so quite
a sturdy, non-flexible frame. Let's check the height. Segment height there
that is 19. Let's just review on the other side because sometimes that can be a difference
as we're finding there yes that's right 18 and a little bit more
and the bridge
15 thank you. Let's have a look at the length to bend again
90 millimetres
and around 87 millimetres there so a little bit of a difference in the two there.
Good to see a pair of bifocals and that frame there, okay
these are your sisters' gold and cream frames here, large plastic tip there
front metal beautiful matching gold and cream there
okay I think she had a very slight tint placed into these lenses so there's a little bit of
sun protection and glare protection there possibly,. She had flexibility in the sides
very elegant pair
two three four five six seven eight diamantes located on the side there and there, excellent,
quite a petite frame so I assume your sister is quite
small in the face, let's check the eye size there
49 and the bridge
That is about
17 thank you, and the length to bend
it's about 93 millimetres, and on the left side it's around 85 millimetres
so it's a little bit of asymmetry on the bend there, huge flexibility in the sides
glazed very well
one of my favourites that you brought in there ,thank you
and this is the frame your dad is going to select for his new bifocals. Again I'm going to place a
new set of pads on those for him but these are metal, he'll have the flexibility in the sides,
and he's got a double bridge there which he's a fan of, gunmetal finish
we'll adjust the length to bend so it fits snugly but these are
quite large there
that's around 100 millimetres
these are just the dummy lenses so he'll have new lenses glazed into there so the eyesight size
that's about 54 millimetres, bridge is around 19 there so that's the pair your father is
going to select for his new bifocals. Once they're on his face I'll take the segment
height measurements. So thank you for bringing all those frames in I'll see you next time.
