Eyeglasses, also called glasses or spectacles, are lenses set in frames for wearing in front of the eyes to aid vision or to correct such defects of vision as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism
Types of Glasses Frames
Based on Frame Materials
Manufacturers use several types of plastic to make frames, including Zylonite, nylon blends, and castor seed oil
There are many different metals used to make glasses frames including Monel, Titanium, Beryllium, Stainless steel, Flexon, Aluminum
Based on Frame Types
Full Frame
Full frames completely outline the lens. They are the most durable frame type, and we recommend them for thick lenses.
Semi-rimless Frame
Semi-rimless frames cover the top portion of the lens. They are lighter and more comfortable but expose the lens to chips and cracks.
Rimless Frame
Rimless frames provide the largest field of vision and are the most lightweight option. However, they are more delicate than other frames.
