Eyeglass frames are the first thing people see when you wear eyeglasses.  With all the different types of frames available, you have many different choices.  You don’t have to limit yourself because there simply are no limits.  You can have eyeglasses that range from work only to funky and fabulous,  Here’s a list of the more commonly found frames.

Plastic

The workhorse of all of the frames would have to be plastic.  Plastic frames can be found in just about every color that you could find, and can be designed in limitless styles.  Besides being fashionable, plastic is very durable and is able to hide thicker lenses.  When you are playing sports, plastic is the best route because of its durability.

Metal

When you want a thinner lens, and want to take the focus off of your glasses, metal is the way to go.  Metal frames are generally lighter in weight than plastic frames.  Like plastic, they can be found in a variety of colors also.  Super thin lenses are recommended with metal.

Titanium

The lightest of the metal frames is titanium.  They are known for being able to resist corrosion.  Titanium, like the other metals, would be best suited with the super thin lenses.

You can find all of the frames previously mentioned throughout glassescrafter.com In addition, you can get free standard hi-index 1.61 super thin lenses with any order.

Transition lenses are actually just a brand of Photochromic lenses. Currently they are the most advanced ones on the market, but there are others. Some major pros about using these types of lenses is that they are clear but react with UV and produce a tinted effect based on how much UV is present. The idea behind these “smart lenses” is to use the correct amount of protection for your eyes all day without the inconvenience of switching between corrective glasses or sunglasses. The only real con with these glasses is the same of many glasses. These lenses are a little hazy behind a car windshield. Also, they will slide off your nose; they leave a mark, and take a couple of minutes to turn back to clear when coming inside. When weighing the options, none of these cons are that big of a deal and it’s a great trade off for constantly protected eyes!

Reactolite lenses are just a brand name of glass Photochromic lenses. They are similar to transition lenses in that they do the same job. Some main differences between the two are that reactolite lenses are much heavier and slightly more uncomfortable. The upside to transition lenses is that they are much clearer to see through behind the wheel of a car.

Most people prefer transition lenses but you’ll never know if you don’t try! Photochromic lenses are practical and can save you from having to buy a pair of clear glasses and sunglasses. Like I mentioned earlier, I definitely think the trade off for constant protection of your eyes is worth it!
