Different Types of Eyeglass Frame Materials
Acetate: The most popular frame material is acetate, also called Zyl. Zyl is a very cost-effective and creative option for eyewear and is extremely lightweight. The acetate frame material is also colorful.
Nylon: This frame material is used in some cheap eyeglasses. Nylon is strong, lightweight and flexible, and it can become brittle with age. Nylon is also a premier material for sports and performance frames, and also easily molded into today’s popular wraparound style.
TR90 Nylon: TR90 Nylon is durable, flexible, and lightweight. Glasses made with TR90 are extremely comfortable since they have a flexible quality. Besides, the TR90 Nylon frame material can bend under pressure and contour your face comfortably. So, it would be resilient to damage.
Ultem: Ultem resin is a flame-retardant and high performance thermoplastic. It comes with various features, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, heat resistance and high impact strength. This frame material is also durable.
How to know if lens is polarized?
Make use of LCD screens. Point the glasses horizontally at the LCD screen and then rotate them upward by 45 degrees clockwise. If it is a polarized lens, it will show a change in color deepening. If it does not change no matter how you rotate it, it is not a polarized lens. You can borrow another person's polarized lens or have previously worn a known true polarizer, and place it crossover with the new glasses you want to buy. At this time, you should see the object clearly from the crossover part with your eyes. Then cross the glasses vertically and horizontally, and at this point, the opposite object should not be visible from the intersection. If this condition is satisfied, it means that a true polarized lens is being tested.
Half frame glasses
The half-frame glasses are more appropriate. A round face is wide on the left and right. For the half-frame, because it doesn't have a line underneath it, it will make the face look rectangular. Wearing the full-frame will make the jaw look narrower, and the jaw of a round face is narrow, so wearing the full-frame will make the jaw look narrower. Wearing a half-frame lengthens the jaw and makes up for the lack of a round face. On the other hand, full-frame glasses are more suitable for long faces.

Are carbon fiber glasses better or titanium?
In terms of weight, the titanium frame is very light. The specific gravity of the pure titanium frame is about 4.5g/cm3, and the specific gravity of the titanium alloy frame is about 8.9g/cm3. The pure titanium frame is lighter than the titanium alloy frame. However, carbon fiber glasses are lighter in weight. The carbon fiber glasses launched by LOHO are only 7.87g, which is very light to wear.
In terms of hardness, titanium has a high hardness, about twice that of stainless steel, twice that of iron, and six times that of aluminum. Carbon fiber is lighter than aluminum, harder than steel, and its strength is ten times that of iron.
In other respects, the titanium frame has the advantages of corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, high stability, good elasticity, good toughness, and resistance to deformation. The carbon fiber frame has the advantages of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, radiation resistance, good elasticity, good flexibility, and abrasion resistance.
It can be seen from the above comparison that carbon fiber glasses have the general advantages of titanium frames. In terms of weight, carbon fiber glasses are much lighter than ordinary pure titanium glasses.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of bifocal reading glasses?
The advantage of bifocal reading glasses is a large field of vision, and they can be used with the same pair of glasses to see far, near. The cost is lower. But different areas have obvious intervals, and the appearance is not beautiful. The middle distance is fuzzy. They need to adapt to the period. Bifocal reading glasses lens is divided into two parts, and the degree of the two parts is not the same. The upper part is the mother of the flat area to see far, and the next part is the child of the reading area to see near. There is an obvious interval. The appearance is not beautiful. There is no transition area between two different areas, so its vision is fuzzy, easy to produce a 'jump image'. Long-term wearing will make people dizzy or fall down when climbing stairs.
Why are designer brands in Japan popular?
Japan has long admired the spirit of design and craftsmanship. These designer eyewear brands are often hosted by single designers with strong personal styles. Different styles of glasses design language are highly consistent. Some of these designers have transitioned from fashion design to graphic design, others have been designing glasses all their lives, or even just picked up inspiration in the creative process and started a brand. There are many such designer brands, and the better brands often have very loyal and stable customer groups.
