Plastic Eyeglasses FAQs

What is the best material for eyeglasses frames?

Frames that are made out of metal, titanium, or some type of alloy tend to be more resistant to wear and tear, but plastic frames are also popular because they're not as expensive and can come in a variety of colors and styles. The problem with plastic frames is that they can break more easily. And over time, the color can start to fade.

Is plastic a good material for eyeglasses?

Plastic can give you a great deal of color options, especially with zylonite (also called cellulose acetate). It's both cost-effective and extremely lightweight, but some manufacturers use acetate (which is a nylon-based plastic that's hypoallergenic). Nylon is also good for performance frames that are used for playing sports, because they're flexible and are resistant to hot and cold.

What are plastic eyeglasses frames made of?

Plastic frames can be made of a number of different materials, but here are a few of the most common:

  • Zylonate — Because it can be made into a number of shapes in a relatively inexpensive manner, zylonate is one of the most popular eyeglasses frame.
  • Propionate — This material is often used in sports frames, because it's both durable and flexible. It's also lightweight and hypoallergenic.
  • Cellulose Acetate — This plant-based plastic was first used for making eyewear in the late 1940's because it was easier to work with than other plastics, and its durability has improved since then.

Are glass lenses better than plastic?

The two main differences between glass and plastic lenses are weight and scratch resistance. Glass lenses are a lot heavier than plastic ones, which can be annoying for several reasons. The extra weight on your nose can be uncomfortable and can cause your glasses to slide off your face. Plastic lenses are lighter, but they're not as resistant to scratches.

Can plastic eyeglasses frames be adjusted?

To adjust your plastic frames, run the part you want to adjust under hot water or with a hair dryer for two or three minutes. And carefully bend it to the desired position. If the frame keeps sliding off your face, you can bend the earpieces closer to a 90-degree angle so they'll fit a little tighter. But you should never try to bend or adjust any plastic frame without heating it up first.
