The frame of prescription glasses

At present, the more common materials for frames are non-metal and metal. Non-metals mainly include TR90, sheet material, etc., and metals include alloys, titanium, and so on. TR90 and sheet material are actually plastics, but they are firm and are not easy be deformed at room temperature. Also, they have good formability so that they can be made in many fashionable styles. The general alloy material has good firmness and flexibility, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to fade. The pure titanium frame is corrosion-resistant and very strong. It is about 40% lighter than the general alloy frame. It must be welded and electroplated in an oxygen-free state, which requires high equipment and technology. Relatively speaking, the price of TR90 and alloys will be lower, and pure titanium will be more expensive. You can choose according to your budget.

How much should a pair of prescription glasses cost?

Speaking of glasses, everyone's first feeling may be that it is not cheap to have a pair of prescription glasses. Just such a small pair of glasses, ranging from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. Why is the difference so big? So some people go online to buy glasses for dozens of dollars as if they look the same. But is it actually the same? There are a lot of differences between the glasses for dozens of dollars and for thousands of dollars, apart from the price. Also, you should be responsible for your own eyes.

Better glasses brands will adopt better designs to ensure beautiful appearance and structural safety, and have stricter quality standards. At first, these glasses are not cheap because the cost has increased a lot. In addition to the brand, different materials, process requirements, and mass production scale will also affect the cost and thus the final selling price. As for the question of what price glasses to choose, my suggestion is to choose the high-priced one within your budget. So, to choose a suitable pair of glasses, what aspects need to be considered?

Can You Put New Lenses in Old Frames?

In this section, we will show you how to replace new lenses with old frames. In general, optical shops will replace the lenses for you if your frames are in good condition and the shapes of the lenses is not too complicated.

So, can you put new lenses in old frames? Of course, you can do that if your old frame is good and shape of lenses is not too complicated.

However, glasses lens replacement depends on the quality of your existing frames, their conditions, and your prescription specifics. Not every pair of sunglasses or glasses for that matter can be reglazed. Sometimes fresh frames are required to match your new lenses. By far the most common reason for this would be because the existing frame is becoming brittle or is otherwise at risk of breaking. There is no point putting beautiful new lenses into a frame that breaks either during fitting or soon after.

In addition, when considering glasses lens replacement, you need to consider the materials of frames. In general, plastic frames are more likely to become brittle with age than metal frames. Of course, there are some other factors to be considered.

Use them in exchange for a new pair.

A trade-in would be an excellent option. The old eyeglasses can be recycled by taking them to the optical shop, which is a low carbon and environmentally friendly.
