Eyeglasses & Frames Princeton, Monroe Township, & Somerset, NJ

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 more vibrant colors.

Cellulose Propionate

This plastic is injection molded. It is a very lightweight material.

Metals

Monel

This is the most commonly used metal for eyeglasses. It has a nickel content that might cause some allergic reactions in 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 steel, it is hypoallergenic.

Titanium

This new space-age material has now come to eyeglass frames. Titanium is 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.
