The characteristics of metal material
The material of metal glasses frame chooses some kind of metal material or alloy to make mostly. Most of the copper alloys are treated as the base material and then have surface treatment processing. Then there is the recent rise of pure titanium frames and those made of memory alloy. Metal frames are usually equipped with nose pads, which are movable to accommodate a variety of nasal shapes. The end of the temple is often covered with a plastic cover, not only beautiful but also to protect the temple and skin.
When were the first glasses invented?
No one knows when the first pair of glasses were invented, but we do know that the grinding techniques for making simple magnifying glasses have been around since 1000 AD, especially in regions where glasses were already produced (including northern Italy). The earliest artwork of glasses appears in the Treviso Cathedral fresco painted by Tommaso de Modena in 1352. There is reliable evidence that eyeglasses were invented in Italy in the late 13th century. The first pair we think of as eyeglasses appeared in Italian pizza in the late 12th century and looked more like two small magnifying glasses (made of raised glass) riveted together at the top of the handle. In 1266, The English Franciscan Monk Roger Bacon wrote about the scientific principles of corrective lenses, but there is no evidence that he applied this knowledge to the manufacture of eyeglasses.
Tortoiseshell is the important material of the frame.
The old metal frames used to be made of stainless steel or other alloys, and most of them have been phased out. The more popular modern metal frame is titanium metal frame, pure titanium, beta-titanium, memory titanium, and so on. In addition to being relatively light, it is resistant to corrosion and does not deform easily, especially used for the production of glasses or glasses frames. Because the color like amber gives a person a warm and delicate, luxurious and elegant feeling, so tortoiseshell glasses in the eyewear industry are a best-selling type of glasses.
Thin frame glasses
Curved-rimmed glasses are very popular and common nowadays. It feels serious and intellectual. It is suitable for all face shapes. There are many colors to choose from. Fairies who especially like square frames can choose thin square glasses with gold wire. The border is not too obvious but it has edges.
How to Get Used to Progressive Lenses?
How to adjust to a pair of new glasses? How long does it take to adjust to a new pair of glasses? In general, there are several ways for adjusting to progressive lenses. In this section, we will show you some of them.
- Put on your new progressive glasses in the morning and wear them for at least one hour or two. The next morning, try a few more hours. Develop your tolerance to adjust to them.
- When you walk, look straight ahead, not down at your feet. And, point your nose in the direction you want to look, not just looking left or right with your eyes.

- When you read, don’t move your eyes or head. Move the page or paper instead.
- Set your computer screen below eye level. You can achieve that by adjusting your desk or chair.
The TR90 Spectacle Frame
TR90 frame is a kind of polymer material spectacle frame with memory, no chemical residue is released, and it meets European requirements for food-grade materials. It is currently an internationally popular ultra-light spectacle frame. TR90 frames have the characteristics of super toughness, impact resistance and abrasion resistance, and low friction coefficient, which can effectively prevent damage to the eyes and face caused by the breakage and friction of the frame during sports. Because of its specific molecular structure, it has good chemical resistance, is not easy to deform in high temperature environment, can withstand high temperature of 350 degrees in a short time, and is not easy to melt and burn. Moreover, the TR90 spectacle frame has a lubricating surface with a density of 1.14-1.15. It will float when placed in salt water. It is lighter than other plastic spectacle frames. It is about half the weight of the sheet frame and 85% of the nylon material. It can reduce the burden on the bridge of the nose and ears.
Why do so many people like rimless glasses?
Rimless glasses are lighter because they have no frame and are made of memory titanium alloy, which greatly relieves the pressure on the bridge of the nose and eyes and makes them more comfortable to wear. And because there are no frames to tie them down, the wearer has a wider view. Rimless glasses style is more diverse and stylish. They are rich in color, so loved by young eyeglasses.
