The History of Clubmaster Glasses
Clubmaster glasses are a variation of the browline sunglasses made popular in the 1950s. The lenses of clubmaster glasses are typically held in place by a thin metal frame and are of a squared-off round shape.
Although many people believe that the Cubmaster glasses root back to the 1950s, the fact is that clubmaster glasses or clubmaster sunglasses as we know them didn’t come about until Bruce Willis wore a pair of Shuron Ronsirs browline glasses with tinted lenses on the TV series Moonlighting in the mid-1980s.
From that moment, browline glasses draw the public’s attention. By the 1960s, Ray-ban was a fairly large contender in the market and its owner Bausch & Lomb was one of the top manufacturers of browline-style eyeglasses. And then the Ray-ban launched the first browline sunglasses, called it clubmaster. Sales were enormous almost immediately and despite only coming out mid-80s, they still ranked as the third most popular style of sunglasses sold in the decade, next to Ray-ban’s Wayfarers and Aviators.
Then Ray-ban took every revision of the original 1947 Browline and began offering it as part of the clubmaster series. From bold brows to lightweight metal caps first introduced in the 1950s, the clubmaster offered a style that could fit elegantly on just about any face shape. After that, the clubmaster glasses have been popular for a long time.
How to Choose Reading Glasses?
In this section, we will show you some tips for choosing reading glasses.
Find the right power. When choosing reading glasses, finding the right power would be the most important thing. All reading glasses will have signs or stickers indicating their power. In most cases, they will range from +1 to +4 diopter, in increments of +0.25. So, when choosing reading glasses, try the lowest power first.
Test-drive the glasses. If you have brought reading material with you, try reading it at a comfortable length. If you hold the material too far out to be able to read it, you should increase the power. Keep testing the differences powers until can read clearly at the distance that’s more comfortable for you.
Choose big frames the first time. When choosing reading glasses, you can choose the big frames for the first time. You may need larger glasses frames or lenses to really get the sweet spot of where the prescription is.
And if you have never worn glasses for eye conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism, it is likely you will be able to see well with non-prescription reading glasses. So, you can buy these non-prescription reading glasses.
Can you repair rimless glasses by yourself?
Splice the broken temple of the glasses into its original position on the glasses. Cut a piece of tape about 10cm long and pass it through the gap between the temple of the glasses and the base of the spring. Place the tape on the inside side of the glasses and tighten the other side with your hands. Then apply the outer tape to the temple of the glasses and press it down with your hand. Cut a piece of tape about twice the circumference of the bottom of the temple of the eyeglasses and stick it around the bottom of the temple of the eyeglasses. Cut a piece of tape about twice the circumference of the upper-middle part of the temple and use it to stick the top of the tape used in the first step. Then a piece of tape roughly twice the circumference of the middle leg of the glasses was used to tape the area between the two steps. Then repeat the previous step, and introduce another layer of tape from the gap on the outside of the adhesive tape. First, cut off a piece of tape as long as the temple of the glasses and stick the end of it to the bottom of the temple at an angle of about 60 degrees. Then tighten the other end with your hand, making it stick upward in a spiral until it covers all the tape in front.
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.
Palo Alto
They are not heavy. The glasses are not heavy at all and robust and are well-suitable. The prescription is perfect. These rimless metal glasses have a bronze finish and a perfectly rounded lens. The slender metal arms finish, and the turtle arm tips and spring hinges, make the glasses simple but stylish.
Features of TR90 Frame
It has the characteristics of wonderful toughness, crash resistance, wear resistance, and low friction coefficient, which can effectively prevent damage to the eyes and face caused by the fracture and friction of the frame during the movement. Because of its specific molecular structure, and chemical resistance, it is not easy to deform in a high-temperature environment. It's very elastic, and it doesn't deform. The use of thermoplastic materials in these frames provides pretty strength due to their flexible characteristics.
The length of the temple is important.
The glasses should fit snugly over and behind the ears. If they clip behind the ear, mostly, the arm might be too short. The arms of your glasses should be straight back toward your ears, touching only the side of your head, just in front of your ears. If the temple bends too soon, it pushes the glasses under the nose, putting too much pressure on the bridge of the nose and causing a headache.
