"Hi! My name is David with Expert Village and I'm going to show you how to adjust glasses. When going to adjust your glasses, you first need to determine exactly what style of glasses you have. First, you want to decide if it's a plastic frame. A full plastic frame will of course, all made of plastic. You can see on the sides it's completely plastic. Next one's going to be the metal frames. They'll be fully metal. The eyepiece goes all way around of the metal. The next type of glasses is going to be a half rim glass or semi-rim glass. We can see where the metal frame actually stops and becomes clear at the bottom. The last pair that you might find is going to be a full glass, which there is no rim at all. You can tell that by the way it's actually drilled into the glass on the back side. The drill points can be seen on the backside where there's 2 plastic pushing on each lens here and here. Those are the 4 basic types of frames."
