Some glasses manufacturers also use cellulose acetate propionate, a nylon-based plastic that is hypoallergenic. It’s lightweight and has more transparency and gloss than other plastics. If your main criterion for a frame is lightness, then definitely consider propionate frames.

Plastic frames do have some drawbacks. They are easier to break than metal frames, they will burn (but are not easily ignited), and aging and exposure to sunlight decrease their strength slightly. Color can fade over time, but not as much with modern materials.

Materials for Prescription Glasses

Posted in Glasses online, Prescription glasses with tags , , , , on May 17, 2010 by eyeexperts

It is a known fact that online stores for prescription glasses offer a diverse range of prescription and designer glasses. While choosing prescription glasses, one aspect that which should be considered is the material of which the frame is made of. The durability and the finishing of the prescription glasses depend a lot on the materials used and the most commonly used materials are plastic and metal.

Prescription glasses with plastic frames are generally light-weight and offer a comfortable eye-wear experience. Laminated plastic frames with layered colours are a widely popular option. When light colours are used on the interior sides, your glasses become less visible. Likewise, an all–black frame is visible at all times on both the interior and exterior sides.

Among the variety of plastics used for prescription glasses, most manufacturers use cellulose acetate propionate. It is a nylon-based plastic which is light-weight and offers more transparency and gloss than other plastics. When compared to metallic frames, glasses made of plastic have better exposure to sunlight.

When it comes to durability, metallic frames have been a perennial favourite. So much so, that the most widely used material is “monel”, a mixture of broad range of metals. Its malleability and corrosion resistance give the glasses a gloss and longevity of the highest quality. Though considered a part of metal family, titanium frames come with the added advantage of being light-weight. It is a silver grey metal that’s durable, strong and corrosion–resistant.
