can't remember if we have covered this...
With all the warm weather we are having, our store has seen its share of "warped" lenses because glasses ("regular" & "sun") are getting left on the ol' dashboard....The quickest fix is to soak the lens in the warm water bath (we use the heated water next to the uv & tints) . After about 20 seconds or so, take the lenses out, place them in a towel, cover, & GENTLY press with the palm of your hand for about 15 seconds; immerse in cold water to "set". I used to try to fix with a hotair warmer (no salt pan, sniff) but this method seems to work better. Of course, I have not & WOULD NOT use this method on A/R coated lenses for obvious reasons....

I should really 'come out' on this, before Pete outs me.......
We call the aforementioned frames 'supras'. Apparently, this is hilarious. Mind, it cuts down on the nylon confusion. :)
We also call the temples 'sides'.
Flexon twisted at the bridge.
When Flexon frames get twisted at the bridge they are easy to bring back into alignment. The material that makes them Flexible runs vertically through through the bridge. Sometimes, especially when they are twisted to demonstrate their flexibility, Flexon frames get stuck in a twisted position. To unstick them just twist them all the way back in the opposite direction that they are off plane. They will snap right back into position.
Getting face form in a Flexon frame is tough. If you are looking for just a small amount of curvature you can heat the bridge a little bit and it will be easier to adjust.
