Eyeglass frames can be made from a variety of materials and each has its own characteristics and aesthetic appeal. Frame material is just as important as style when buying new glasses. After all, you want your new glasses or sunglasses to make you feel and look better.
The variety of eyeglass frame materials greatly expands your options for new looks. When buying new glasses or sunglasses, ask your optician about color choices, durability, lightness, favorite brands, hypoallergenic materials, uniqueness and price.
In fact, finding eyeglasses with the most important characteristics for you is as easy as choosing the right frame material. Because each type has its own strengths. When shopping online, use the retailer's material filters when browsing for eyewear to ensure you find what you're looking for. Here are some of the most popular eyeglass frame materials and what we like about each one.
TITANIUM
You've probably heard of titanium described as a supermaterial of sorts. When it comes to eyewear, it's right up your alley. Titanium is a very strong and lightweight metal that is ideal for eyeglass frames. The silver color is beautiful and titanium does not corrode.
Titanium can also be processed into shape memory alloys. This means that it can be bent and returned to its original shape. This "giving" is a perfect attribute for glasses.
The advantages of titanium frames are:
-Lightweight
-Corrosion & rust free
-Elegant looking
-Durable
-Skin friendly
ACETATE
Cellulose Acetate is a hypoallergenic plastic that can be easily molded, offering eyewear designers the flexibility to create truly innovative designs. This material, sometimes called cyl, can be made with varying amounts of transparency or stacked colors. Many eyewear manufacturers use acetate for these unique properties, pushing the boundaries of frames.
The advantages of acetate frames are:
-Comes in various styles and shapes
-These are made up of eco-friendly material
-These are of great comfort
-These are extremely durable and suit all the skin types
NYLON
At first glance, it may seem strange that nylon is used for spectacle frames. However, considering the flexibility of this plastic, you can see why nylon is the best choice for some sports sunglasses (including wraparound sunglasses). The nylon frame is strong and lightweight. Exactly what many athletes prefer in sunglasses.
The advantages of nylon frames are:
Conclusion:
The best materials for spectacle frames are those that can withstand daily use, and the answer varies from person to person. For example, more flexible and forgiving materials are usually best for children's eyewear, but for adult eyewear, you can balance the bold colors of acetate with the strength and corrosion resistance of titanium. Metal frames are usually less stylized than plastic eyewear, which makes them more fashionable. Finally, the cost factor enters the equation. Acetate frames are usually the cheapest, but titanium can be more expensive.
