Different Types of Eyeglass Frame Materials
Acetate: The most popular frame material is acetate, also called Zyl. Zyl is a very cost-effective and creative option for eyewear and is extremely lightweight. The acetate frame material is also colorful.
Nylon: This frame material is used in some cheap eyeglasses. Nylon is strong, lightweight and flexible, and it can become brittle with age. Nylon is also a premier material for sports and performance frames, and also easily molded into today’s popular wraparound style.
TR90 Nylon: TR90 Nylon is durable, flexible, and lightweight. Glasses made with TR90 are extremely comfortable since they have a flexible quality. Besides, the TR90 Nylon frame material can bend under pressure and contour your face comfortably. So, it would be resilient to damage.
Ultem: Ultem resin is a flame-retardant and high performance thermoplastic. It comes with various features, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, heat resistance and high impact strength. This frame material is also durable.
What Are High-Index Lenses?
High index lenses are eyeglasses lenses that are designed to be thinner and lighter than regular lenses. High-index lenses have a high refractive index than their conventional counterparts. So, they are generally recommended for people who have significantly high refractive errors and strong prescriptions for nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.
High-index lenses correct all types of refractive errors. And they are also available as single vision lenses, or a reading prescription that corrects presbyopia, such as in a bifocal or progressive lens.
High-index lens has a higher refractive index and which is ranging from 1.53 to 1.74. A lens with an index of 1.74 could be up to 50 percent thinner than a regular plastic lens with an index of 1.50.
The round frames VS square frames
In choosing frame respect, be about to choose according to the face shape of oneself. Circular frames show that the facial ministry line is downier fruity, so they can show young affinity feeling. Contrary, square picture frames, can increase facial ministry line feeling, making facial features relatively mature. If you have a square face, go for round glasses, which will flatter your face and make it less sharp. If you have a round face, go for square glasses, which will make your face less round.
Why are titanium glasses so expensive?
Pure titanium can guide the electron wave to produce ions so that the current tends to ionize, and positive and negative ions can reduce the harmful effects of the body's biological current chaos caused by electromagnetic waves. To the human body, it has a great health care role. It avoids fatigue, muscle stiffness, soreness, and other symptoms or problems.
Features of acetate frames
These are several powerful attributes of acetate frames, indicating that this material is very unique. The high-quality acetate frame is known for its lightweight, fastness, and thin structure.
- No harm to the environment.
- Made of renewable materials.
- Hypoallergenic.
- Available in various colors.
- Can make exquisite designs.
- Can be adjusted by an optician.
Can clear lenses be polarized?
At present, there are no clear polarized lenses. A polarized lens is a thin film vertically arranged with silicon crystal coating placed inside the lens, just like a shutter, which covers the parallel light and only allows the vertical light to pass through. In this way, the glare from all directions can be eliminated, so it is clear and comfortable to wear. Transparent polyamide, the material of nylon lens, is a new variety of polyamide. The material of the nylon lens is mainly transparent polyamide. Due to the effect of the light filter, only light from a specific direction is allowed to pass through the lens, which filters the dazzling light from the sun on the water, land, or snow very well. It can not only make the landscape soft, clear, and natural but protect the eyes to a certain extent.
Why should you choose thin lenses?
Regular lenses are great for low-prescription people, but for high-prescription people, high-prescription regular lenses are too thick and heavy, making them unattractive and have a poor wearing experience. For high-prescription people, we recommend that they choose thin lenses with a high refractive index because they are lighter and more attractive to wear. For any astigmatism above +3.00, we recommend 1.67 or 1.74 refractive index lenses because these lenses are aspherical in design, which means they are thinner, flatter, and lighter than standard spherical lenses, which reduces the magnification of your eyes to other people.
