Metal frames have a very minimalist look and are generally a lot thinner and more lightweight than the plastic glasses frames. They are also slightly more flexible, so they make good options for those sporty types who enjoy a vigorous lifestyle. Unlike plastic frames, metal frames come with the option to go semi-rimless, where the lenses are not fitted inside a metal frame, but simply attached to the arms. This is really great for those people that don't want to or can't wear contacts, and prefer a super minimalist look.
Benefits of Metal Eyeglass Frame
Metal Eyeglass Frames Are Lightweight
We make a lot of sacrifices for fashion, but heavy eyeglasses should never be one of them! Sometimes it's easier and more comfortable to feel like you DON'T have a frame on your face. That's why I prefer my metal frames-they weigh less than plastic frames and are super comfortable to wear all day. They still make quite the fashion statement. Check out this semi-rimless frame from Pepe. Stylish and light as a feather.
Metal Eyeglass Frames Fit Small Noses Better
I have a smaller nose, and plastic frames tend to slide down my nose unless they are perfectly adjusted. Metal frames come with nose pads, and nose pads are the best invention for eyeglass wearers with small noses. They keep your glasses in place – no hassle involved. Check out this cute metal frame from Guess.
Metal Eyeglass Frames Are Cooler
Metal eyeglass frames are hip, but when I say “cooler”, I mean temperature wise. Metal eyeglass frames can actually feel cooler on your face than a plastic eyeglass frame. If you live in a place where the temperatures stay high for a good portion of the year, consider getting metal eyeglass frames. Plastic frames can also stretch out of shape in high heat. Nosepads on a metal frame allow for a little more airflow around your face by keeping the glasses situated higher on your nose and cheeks.
Metal frame material
Titanium
Titanium is strong, durable, corrosion-resistant metal, ideal for thin frames. It's 40% lighter than other metals, which can eliminate headaches that come from wearing heavier frames. It can feel like you're not even wearing glasses at all. Titanium is also hypoallergenic, eliminating negative reactions on the sides of your head and the bridge of your nose. The malleability of titanium means that frames, if bent, will revert to their original shape. This is why frames made of metals like titanium are popular among athletes who tend to drop their eyewear. Although titanium is a silver-gray metal, frames come in a variety of colors.
Beta Titanium
Beta titanium is an alloy of titanium that includes aluminum. This makes them cheaper than 100% titanium frames and also more flexible.
Memory Metal
Memory metal (Flexon) is a titanium alloy composed of 50% titanium and 50% nickel. They're extremely flexible and, if bent, will return to their original shape. Durability make them a great option for children. They're cheaper than 100% titanium frames, but also less hypoallergenic. Reactions caused by such frames are most likely the result of nickel.
Beryllium
Beryllium is a lower-cost alternative to titanium that's also corrosion-resistant, making it a great choice for people who spend a lot of time in an around salt water. It's also light-weight, flexible and strong. However, it's not as hypoallergenic as titanium.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is an iron-carbon alloy containing chromium. Like titanium, they're lightweight, flexible, strong and corrosion-resistant. Stainless steel is also hypoallergenic.
Monel
Monel is an inexpensive alloy of nickel and copper that's also extremely malleable and also corrosion-resistant.
Consider Your Face Shape
When choosing frames, pick options that contrast your face shape for a balanced look that will highlight your facial features. Learn more about which frame shape will suit your face shape here.
Pick a Material
Frames come in many different materials, each with their own unique appearance and function. When choosing the ideal material for your frames, you will need to consider which features best fit your lifestyle, budget, and style preferences.
Decide on a Color
When choosing the color of your frames, be sure to consider the color and undertones of your eyes, hair, and skin tone. Generally, you want to choose frame colors that will complement your natural features and bring out these undertones. Going with neutral colors such as blacks, whites, beiges, and browns will give you a classic and polished look. If you want to make more of a statement, choose bright colors that contrast your natural features such as reds, blues, purples, oranges, and greens.
Choose the Correct Size Frame for Your Face
Frames that are either too small or too large can appear disproportionate and will bring imbalance to your facial features. Your Shopko Optical opticians will help you choose the ideal size frames for your face, ensure they fit properly, and make any adjustments if necessary.

Think About Your Prescription
Certain frame styles are better suited for specific prescription strengths. Be sure that the frames you choose offer proper stability and space for your lenses to function properly. For example, semi-rimless designs are excellent for thin lenses with a light prescription strength and full-rimmed styles provide the necessary stability for thicker lenses and multifocal prescriptions.
Consider Your Lifestyle
Think about your occupation, hobbies, and lifestyle—then consider which frame features will best suit these every-day activities. If you spend your days at the office, frames in traditional shapes and colors can help you convey confidence and professionalism. Do you live an active lifestyle? You may want to opt for memory metal frames for their durability and impact resistance. If you are an artist, you may choose a colorful pair of plastic frames to showcase your creativity.

Lightweightedness
Durable eyewear doesn't have to feel heavy. Metal frames are often lightweight, which means less of that annoying nose-slide.
Low Maintenance
Metal frames are easy to clean and maintain when handled with care. Before using metal tip pliers to gently repair to metal glasses frames, you can use warm water to make the metal parts more pliable before covering the frame with a thin cloth to protect them through the repair process. Don't forget to pick up a cleaning kit with a screwdriver to make minor adjustments and a lens cleaner spray to wipe away grime.
Process of Metal Eyeglass Frame
Eyeglass Design
Before entering production, the entire eyeglass frame needs to be designed. Instead of saying that eyeglasses are an industrial product, in fact, it is more akin to a personalized custom craft then go to mass production. You have not always felt that the homogenization of such goods as glasses is not so serious as if you have not seen anyone wearing the same eyeglass frame, in the optical store is also selected to dazzling.
Eyeglass Frame Wrap
The formal production of eyeglass frames starts with a large roll of metal wire. First of all, multiple sets of rollers extract and roll the wire and send it to make eyeglass rings. The most interesting part of making eyeglass rings is done by the automatic winding machine pictured below. According to the shape of the processing drawing, a circle is a wound and then cut, which is probably the most automated step in the eyeglass factory.
Connecting Frame Rings
Because the prescription lens is to be embedded in the inner groove of the eyeglass rim, a small locking block is also used to connect the two ends of the rim. The locking block is first fixed and clamped, then the eyeglass rims are brought close together, flux is applied, and the metal wires are heated to solder them together. This type of welding, which uses other metals with low melting points (brazing materials) to fill the two metals to be joined, is called brazing. After soldering the two ends, the lens rims can be locked together.
Eyeglass Nose Bridge Joint
Then is a vigorous out of the miracle, the stamper to bend the glasses beam metal parts, and then the glasses rim and nose bridge, together with the fixed in the mold lock tight. Then they were all welded together according to the previous design.
Making Glasses Legs
After making the part of the eyeglass holder on the nose, you have to make the eyeglass legs that hang from the ears. The same first step is to prepare the raw material by cutting the metal wire to the right size. Then, through an extruder, one end of the metal is stamped in a die. The end of the eyeglass leg is then vigorously squeezed into a small bulge. Then a small stamping machine is used to flatten the bulge and make it smooth. After that, you can weld a hinge on the flat part of the leg, which will be connected to the eyeglass ring later. Eyeglass leg slackness is dependent on the precise fit at this hinge.
Mounting Screws
Use the screws to make a link between the eyeglass legs and the eyeglass ring. The screws used for the link are very small, about the size of a grain of rice. Fix the hinge of the eyeglass leg, and use the machine to automatically put the screws. The advantage of using the machine automatically now is that in addition to saving labor, it can also control the preset force so that it is neither too tight nor too loose if it is increased or decreased by one point.
Grinding Process
After welding, the eyeglass frames also have to go into a roller for polishing, removing burrs and rounding the edges. After that workers also need to put the glasses frame on the rolling wheel to make the frame more shiny by meticulous polishing treatment.
Cleaning Plating
After the glasses frame is polished, it's not over yet! It still needs to be cleaned by soaking it in an acid solution to remove oil and impurities, after which it is plated and covered with an antioxidant film. Depending on the design, some also need to be plated with a layer of other metals.
Bend Glasses Legs
Finally, the end of the eyeglass legs are fitted with a softer rubber cover, and then an automated machine bends the legs, then a pair of metal eyeglass frame is completed.
Precautions for Cleaning Eyeglass Frames
How clean are your hands? You touch about a dozen different things with your hands every day, and you typically don't wash your hands after each touch. When you're handling metal eyeglass frames, the last thing you want is for dirt or oil from your hands to transfer to your lenses. Before you start cleaning metal eyeglass frames, wash and dry your hands properly. You also want to make sure not to use moisturizing hand sanitizer, as this may leave residue on your hands that could stain your lenses.
Often, when our metal eyeglass frames need a quick wipe, the first thing we touch is the edge of our shirt. But while clothes are definitely a convenient way to clean metal eyeglass frames, they're not always the most effective. Most of the clothes you wear have small dust particles clinging to the fabric. These particles can cause small scratches on the lenses when you rub them with clothing. Keep a backup microfiber cloth handy in case you need to clean your metal eyeglass frames.
If there are oil stains on metal eyeglass frames, plain water won't solve the problem. Also don't be tempted to use dish soap or liquid detergent as these may damage your lenses. Today, most lenses come with an anti-glare protective coating. When you apply harsh cleaners to your lenses, they eat away at that coating. The safest option when cleaning metal eyeglass frames is to use a small drop of liquid soap. Do not use products with added moisturizers as they may leave residue on the lenses.
Before wiping your lenses, you'll want to rinse them with water to wash away any dirt particles that may be on them. If you skip this step and wipe metal eyeglass frames, these dirt particles may scratch the lenses. After cleaning your metal eyeglass frames with mild soap, you will also need to rinse your metal eyeglass frames. Properly washing off the soap will ensure that your lenses are clean and don't leave behind any sticky residue. But never use hot water on your lenses as it can cause serious damage to the lenses and their coating.
