The Basics of Eyeglasses

Eyeglass frame materials have evolved due to the advent of new plastics and various types of metals. Some of them are made with highly flexible metal alloys to reduce the possibility of breakage. And glasses have become more comfortable, too.

If you suffer from skin allergies, hypoallergenic metals such as titanium and stainless steel are excellent choices. 

Eyeglass Lenses

You will also have a wide variety of lens options for your eyeglasses. Among the most popular options today are:

  • Aspheric lenses have a slimmer, more attractive profile and cause less unwanted magnification of your eyes. They may also improve the clarity of your peripheral vision.
  • High-index lenses are made of new materials that enable the lenses to be thinner and lighter than regular plastic lenses, making your eyeglasses as comfortable as possible.
  • Polycarbonate lenses are thinner, lighter and up to 10 times more impact-resistant than regular plastic lenses. The material is great for sports eyewear, children’s eyewear, and for anyone who wants lightweight, durable lenses.
  • Photochromic lenses are sun-sensitive lenses that darken automatically in bright lighting and return to a clear state in ordinary indoor lighting.
  • Anti-reflective coatings are popular add-ons for lenses. They can dramatically improve the look and comfort of your glasses by making them nearly invisible and minimizing distractions from the reflection off the surface of the lenses. This helps reduce glare as well as eye fatigue.
