If your glasses do not seem to re-pare, do the following; it works for me. 1. Take them off your face. 2. Turn them over and close the temples/arms 3. Open the arms and put them back on.
That always works for me. That is, of course, until today when I let both the glasses an case totally discharge. It took about ten minutes before the charge got high enough for the glasses to turn back on. I won’t do that again, until I do it again. Good luck..
