What are bendable glasses called?
Bendable frames, or memory metal frames, are metal frames that can be twisted, bent, and shattered without breaking or losing their original shape. It's made of a kind of smart metal that has a memory. Its microstructure has two relatively stable states. At high temperatures, the alloy can be changed into any shape you want. Memory metals are mainly nickel-titanium alloy and other materials. The structure of these alloys varies with temperature in the solid-state, the shapes of these alloys can be changed as needed, and will automatically return to their original shape at a given temperature. One unique aspect is its ability to return to its original shape, although the frame has been twisted, bent, or crushed. They are lighter and more durable than traditional metal frames. The bendable frames are made of composite metal alloys for bending properties. These lenses can be twisted and bent, and when they are released, they return to their original shape.
User experience is key.
In the past, the foundation of corporate brands was mainly to provide consumers with satisfying material benefits. However, with the development of mobile applications, the situation has changed. Consumers pay more attention to product experience and product brand.
The frame of prescription glasses
At present, the more common materials for frames are non-metal and metal. Non-metals mainly include TR90, sheet material, etc., and metals include alloys, titanium, and so on. TR90 and sheet material are actually plastics, but they are firm and are not easy be deformed at room temperature. Also, they have good formability so that they can be made in many fashionable styles. The general alloy material has good firmness and flexibility, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to fade. The pure titanium frame is corrosion-resistant and very strong. It is about 40% lighter than the general alloy frame. It must be welded and electroplated in an oxygen-free state, which requires high equipment and technology. Relatively speaking, the price of TR90 and alloys will be lower, and pure titanium will be more expensive. You can choose according to your budget.
Can I get a prescription for contact lenses?
Once a contact lens prescription is established, you are entitled to a copy. In some cases, this may occur after a diagnostic match. In many typical GP lenses and special designs, such as bifocal, annular, keratoconus, or postoperative, it may take several examinations before a successful match can be made and a prescription can be provided. If contact lenses are not issued by a doctor, it is important that whoever dispenses them is completely accurate. A soft lens Rx usually includes lens material name, design, power, base curve, and diameter. GP lens prescriptions usually have this information and more, like perimeter curve radius, center thickness, special perimeter design, and optical area diameter.
How to Tighten Glasses by Yourself
After your glasses being used for a while, they will become loosen. In this situation, you may want to ask for a professional optical person to adjust or tighten it. It would be a way but with some inconvenience. So, you can also choose to tighten glasses by yourself.
Why the glasses will become loose? It can be caused by various reasons. Most people wear and remove their glasses several times every day. The back and forth movements of the glasses’ arms will increase the possibility that they will become loose.
If the glasses become loose, you can choose to tighten them by adjusting the temple arms. Most eyeglasses have a screw located at the temple hinge on both sides. To tighten glasses by yourself, you can choose to tighten this screw to make your glasses more comfortable or prevent them from slipping down your nose again. You had better check these screws periodically so you can tighten them before they fall out.
What are acetate glasses?
Acetate spectacle frames are the most common spectacle frames on the market. It has a light texture and good gloss, which is very popular among young men and women. Acetate frames are lighter and generally considered to be better than plastic frames. Acetate fiberboard is known for its Hypo-Allergenic, so it is a popular choice for people with sensitive skin. Unlike some plastic or metal frames, they can cause allergic reactions. However, you will find that acetate frames are usually more expensive than ordinary plastic frames. So what is the reason?
Acetate is one of the first synthetic fibers. It was not used to make glasses until the late 1940s. The higher the quality of acetate, the better the gloss and transparency. Not easy to burn is one of the biggest characteristics of acetate fiber. Also because of the non-combustibility of acetate fiber, this material can hardly be affected by ultraviolet radiation to change color, and can better maintain the gloss of the spectacle frame. Moreover, it is light and hard, and it is not easy to deform.
h3>Transparent Frames
Transparent frames: as for glasses for round faces, the transparent frames aren’t going away anytime soon. Whether clear or with a faint tint, these frames are almost invisible from a distance and make it easy to clearly see the soft features of a round face. So, if you need a pair of glasses for a round face, try the transparent or clear frames.
Full-rim glasses: round faces look best against strong angular lines, while full-rim glasses can enclose and balance these features. So, you can take the full-rim glasses into consideration when choosing round-face glasses.
