They are extemely hard to get on if you have Rayban's like I do. I have a new pair of Rayban Wayfarer prescription sunglasses. If it weren't for the review of "Brother in Christ" I would have given up and used rubber bands. The secret here is: soak them in hot water first for at least 10 minutes. Don't boil the water, but get it as hot as you can from the faucet and put it in a small bowl and cover it. Wait about 10 minutes and you will be surprised at how malleable they be. I had to coax them over the fat part of the Wayfarer stem, but once I got them past that, they sailed right onto the hinge. When you are placing them, hold the stem away from your body and coax the tightener along the stem. You will need a degree of patience in addition to the hot water, but believe me, if I could them onto the hinge, you can too. Another caveat, you will probably need to put 2 on each side. I had to because the Wayfarer's are a bit loose. But 2 on each side did the trick. The other good thing is that they are hard and not likely to soften and go weak on you any time soon. So far, I've not had any problems with my glasses sliding down my nose. They stay right in place and give me good protection from the sun. I highly recommend them but don't forget the hot water! Review: Not very useful for hinge tighteners - These are too fat. Since they had a slice around the circumference, I finished slicing in half all the way around. Now, they are too flimsy and get cut by when the glasses are being worn. I use to be able to buy hinge tighteners that were for this purpose (and correct SIZE) but I guess its not possible anymore. ## Features - eyeglass frame grips ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IRGV9VI | | ASIN | B00IRGV9VI | | Best Sellers Rank | #117,488 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #218 in Safety Eye Protection Accessories | | Brand Name | 1st Choice | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars (1,800) | | Date First Available | January 28, 2014 | | Department | Unisex Adult | | Finish Types | Unfinished | | Hole Count | 1 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Type Name | Winter Accessory Set | | Item Weight | 0.02 Pounds | | Item model number | 158 | | Manufacturer | Pro-Optics | | Manufacturer | Pro-Optics | | Material Type | Rubber | | Model Number | 158 | | Mounting Type | Face Mount | | Package Dimensions | 3.11 x 0.94 x 0.67 inches; 0.32 ounces | | UPC | 075063010105 | | Unit Count | 10.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** 1st Choice - **Color:** Black - **Finish Type:** Unfinished - **Hole Count:** 1 - **Manufacturer:** Pro-Optics - **Material:** Rubber - **Mounting Type:** Face Mount - **UPC:** 075063010105 - **Unit Count:** 10.0 Count ## Images ![Eyeglass Frame Grips--Hinge Tighteners (pack of 10) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rkDCYn8aL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will these stretch to slide over wide bows?** A: No the would not for me but mine were 3/4" wide. But I was able to take off the arms and put back on with the tightened on. It was slightly difficult but I am very happy withe the result. **Q: What is the inside diameter of these frame rings?** A: Let me say this about that: while they are small, they are nevertheless still too large for the arms of some thin framed reading glasses and, as a result, they do not stay securely at the hinges. **Q: the arms of my eye glasses are quite wide- about 1" at the widest part. Will these slide over them?** A: They might work on a wide arm. They worked great on my glasses but the widest part is only about 1/2". They do stretch and might be worth a try as they do stretch and make a world of difference in tightening them up so they don't slip down your face. **Q: Will these keep the hinge screws from becoming loose ?** A: Not on my glasses; don't think it would on any glasses because they don't cover the screws but I guess it depends on what style glasses you have. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work great, but. . .SOAK IN HOT WATER FIRST *by C***F on August 16, 2016* These tighteners really do work, but a caveat here.

Since they had a slice around the circumference, I finished slicing in half all the way around. Now, they are too flimsy and get cut by when the glasses are being worn. I use to be able to buy hinge tighteners that were for this purpose (and correct SIZE) but I guess its not possible anymore. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy on, Easy off *by S***N on December 31, 2020* I replaced the hanging strap for my drug store reading glasses with these rubber hinge rings. One ring on each hinge tightened up the hold on my (narrow) face. No more slipping, no more catching the glasses as they fall, and no more wrestling matches with the strap. After reading the reviews, I was anxious that the rings would be difficult to put on. I live in the NE and received the package on a cold day. Right out of the cold package, these rings simply rolled up to the hinge. I tried two rings on one hinge and changed my mind- the ring rolled off despite its tight fit. The best part is being able to put the glasses open around my neck and the hinges keep the arms tight enough to hold the glasses securely under my chin when I don't need to use the glasses. BTW, a pair of these rings come with most of the small eyeglass kits sold at the grocery or drug store check out. I used to toss them! ## Frequently Bought Together - Eyeglass Frame Grips--Hinge Tighteners (pack of 10) - Optic Shop Eyeglass Frame Grips, Hinge Tighteners - 4mm Inside Diameter, 48 Rings in Each Package --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/13024501-eyeglass-frame-grips-hinge-tighteners-pack-of-10](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/13024501-eyeglass-frame-grips-hinge-tighteners-pack-of-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
