THE OPTICAL SHOPPE carries a wide range of frames in all price categories. Frames are available in both plastic and metal materials.
Plastic
ZYL or Cellulose Acetate
A plastic cut from sheets. This material allows for the more vibrant colors.
Cellulose Propianate
This plastic is injected molded. It is a very lightweight material.
Metals
Monel
This is the most commonly used metal for eyeglasses. It has a nickel content which might cause some allergic reactions to a small percentage of people.
Stainless Steel
This material is very thin and yet is very strong. Since there is no nickel content in stainless it is hypoallergenic.
Titanium
This new space-age material has now come to eyeglass frames. Titanium is probably the lightest weight frame material and is also the strongest. Some frames are 100% titanium, while others are a mixture, which allows for more flexibility. Titanium frames are also hypoallergenic.
