Eyeglass Frame Materials
The material of your frames plays a huge role in the finishing weight and look of your eyeglass frames. At optical5, we provide a wide range of eyeglass frame materials to provide you with the most varied selection possible.
Plastic Eyeglass Frames
The versatile nature of plastic and acetate means that these materials can be used to produce frames of all colors, shapes, patterns, and even textures — all while maintaining a comfortable light weight. Plastic is one of the most durable-yet-economical materials available for eyeglass frames. Lightweight and comfortable, they're ideal for people who want bold frames without the weight.
Acetate Eyeglass Frames
Acetate frames are known for their durability. Our acetate is prepared using a technique that turns plant material into plastic, applying powders during the process to achieve colors and patterns. Acetate achieves a different look and feel than plastic, with a uniformity and smoothness that is unique to the material.
Metal Eyeglass Frames
Metal is a popular material for eyeglass frames, particularly for rimless and semi-rimless frame styles. Metal frames are a classic standard and are suitable for just about any lifestyle, from the creative to the office worker. They’re also great choices for people of all ages and genders.
Titanium Eyeglass Frames
Titanium, a popular metal frame material. It is a higher-end material known for its toughness, durability, and strength. Though it’s tough, it remains surprisingly lightweight, making it perfect for all types of prescriptions. Strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and hypoallergenic properties make our titanium eyeglasses ideal for fashion-conscious, high-performance lifestyles.
