I like getting glasses off of Zenni but they never seem to fit quite right, mostly the arms. Would be nice to be able to make adjustments.

The closest I’ve been able to get to it is to submerge the arms in hot (nearly boiling) water for a bit, and then make the adjustment. It’s not quite as effective, but depending on what the frames are made out of it can do the job in a pinch.

Hm at what temperature do the lenses melt?

Probably ~130C but I would not gamble on this. I have no experience in lenses like this or their specific plastic composition. I just know most are based on polycarbonate, have made my own corrective reading, and my own anaglyph, glasses.

my lenses didn't melt but I have definitely fucked up the coating by walking into a sauna for just a minute which is very far below 100c
