Premium metal is the most common glasses frame material. Premium metal eyeglass frames, mostly constructed of metal alloy and stainless steel, with nose pads, are more robust and flexible than plastic frames.
What are metal eyeglass frames composed of?
Most metal glasses frames are nickel alloys. Aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, zinc, copper, beryllium, gold, and silver are used.
Stainless steel, titanium, gold, and silver are hypoallergenic.
Active persons can use metal-framed glasses since they are lighter, stronger, and retain their shape after being bent.
Metal eyeglass frames won't crack or fade from UV exposure. Their shelf life is 5+ years.
How to adjust metal-framed glasses?
Adjustable metal eyewear has screws, nose pads, and arms.
1. Metal glass screw adjustments tips
Use a screwdriver to turn the loose screw counterclockwise and carefully tighten it at the temple corner.
2. Tips for fixing metal glasses nose pads
Metal optical frames often contain nose pads that may be fine-tuned to fit the nose. Hold the nose frame with one hand, the glasses back to you, and use the index finger and thumb of the other hand to support the nose pad.
If the adjustable nose pads are too tight, press lightly and bend them outward and away from the nose until they fit snuggly.
If the nose pads are loose, press lightly and bend them inward and toward the nose until they fit snugly.
3. Tips for metal glasses arm adjustments
Put your spectacles face up, lenses facing you, four left-hand fingers beneath the temple, and index finger on the temple's natural curve.
If the glasses arms are too tight, gently bend the temple end upwards to release them. If the arms are too loose, gently bend the temple end downwards to tighten them.
Check comfort and repeat as needed.
Metal frame glasses vs plastic frame glasses
1. Material:
Metal frame materials include pure titanium, titanium alloy, stainless steel, monel alloy, gold, silver, aluminum, and nickel. Plastic frames are acetate, nylon, polyamide, polycarbonate, and polystyrene.
2. Color:
Plastic frames offer more color options and styles, whereas metal frames have fewer options.
3. Durability:
Metal glasses don't easily lose shape. Metal glasses survive longer than plastic ones. Plastic glasses, particularly those with acetate frames, are ideal for individuals with sensitive skin and metal allergies.
4. Adjustable nose pads:
Metal glasses offer a more comfortable fit and adjustable nose pads.
5. Suit for high index lenses:
For high-height prescription glasses, plastic frames are ideal, whereas metal glasses are not.
6. Suitability:
Metal frames are ideal for simple, low-key lifestyles, whereas nylon frames are ideal for energetic individuals.
