Eyeglass Frame Materials for Your Lifestyle
Metal Frames
Most people who purchase eyeglasses prefer the timeless appearance of metal frames. The different varieties of metal from which these frames are made give you options, as they each have distinct benefits.
Plastic Frames
Combination Frames
Combination frames utilize both plastic and metal parts in their construction. They grew to popularity in the 1950s and 60s, and in more recent years, their popularity has grown with frames in more colors and modern styles.
Choose More Than One Style
The different materials used to make eyeglasses all have their own distinct benefits. If you want eyewear that is appropriate for all occasions, it’s much easier to select and own multiple pairs of eyeglasses than to try and find one perfect pair. Choosing a variety of frames, each made from different material, gives you the best stylistic options.
As an example, colorful, laminated zyl frames or retro-style combination frames are perfect for a stylish weekend, while a simple par of metal frames lends you a more conservative, professional look for the work week.
For many of us, the most important aspect of choosing eyeglass frames is how they look on our face.
You could try on every pair of eyeglasses in the store to find out how each one looks, but narrowing down your choices in advance can save you a lot of time and aggravation. To do so, you simply need to determine your face shape and coloring, and understand which eyeglass frame styles and colors would look best on you.

I loved my visit here. I had a great doctor and I highly recommend her. She made the visit easy and smooth but was very detailed in her work. She was very open to my suggestions and gave me lots of options as far as lenses and gave me advice on how to improve my eyesight. The best visit with an Optometrist that I have ever had!
