-

      When consumers buy eyewear frames, they see eyewear of various materials on the display stand and do not know how to choose. Let's take a look at what are the main materials of eyewear, and their main advantages and disadvantages. eyewear materials are mainly divided into acetate, titanium, metal,memory and natural materials.

      Acetate. Acetate eyewear are currently one of the most popular eyewear. Acetate eyewear are made by cutting and processing acetate sheets. The main materials are acetate and acetate plus metal. The characteristics of acetate are light weight, high hardness and good gloss. The combination with the steel strengthens the firmness, and the style is beautiful, it is not easy to be deformed and discolored, and it is durable. Acetate eyewear are stylish and easy to match with clothing, combining the thickness of the sheet and the texture of metal to reflect the personality, especially the acetate sunglasses.

titanium. Titanium is one of the most suitable materials for eyewear. Titanium is a pure metal with a specific gravity of 4.5, high toughness, no magnetic reaction, and no skin allergy. It is widely used in space technology, jewelry, surgical appliances and other fields. It is one of the main materials for high-end glasses. Titanium is 48% lighter than ordinary metals, relieves the burden of the bridge of the nose, has high strength, is not easy to scratch and wear, has good corrosion resistance and plasticity; Compared with other metal materials, it is not easy to deform and fade, and has strong stability, highlighting noble taste and elegance temperament. There are mainly two kinds of titanium spectacles, pure titanium spectacles and beta titanium spectacles. The pure titanium eyewear are all made of 99% high-purity titanium. The ring or main part of the Beta titanium eyewear is β titanium, which has high elasticity and strength.

Ordinary metal materials. Metal materials are currently one of the more popular and commonly used materials, mainly copper alloy, alloy frame Monel, nickel-chromium alloy, memory alloy, stainless steel, open gold, platinum, etc. Metal eyewear are corrosion-resistant, bright, durable The characteristics of metal, the unique texture of metal, showing the perfect combination of quality and fashion. Metal sunglasses and metal optical frames are currently one of the most popular eyewear.

Memory material. Memory eyewear frames made of memory materials are divided into two materials: plastic memory and metal memory. The plastic memory frame is light in weight, can be properly twisted and pulled without deformation, and has no skin allergies. The metal memory frame has good elasticity, can be bent 180 degrees without deformation, and can automatically recover when twisted by external force.

Natural material. The natural materials for making eyeglasses are mainly horns, wood and bamboo. These materials can be used to make buffalo horn eyewear, wood eyewear and bamboo eyewear. The main advantage of these natural materials is that they are completely harmless to the human body. The disadvantage is that the processing is difficult and the cost is high.

Nowadays, the structure of eyewear is becoming more and more complex, and a pair of eyewear frames are often made of a variety of materials, which makes the styles of eyewear more diverse and gives consumers more choices.

Why do the prices of glasses vary so much?

Some people spend tens of yuan to buy a pair of eyewear , some people spend thousands of yuan to buy a pair of glasses, and some even tens of thousands of yuan. Why do the prices of glasses vary so much? Based on the experience accumulated in our daily life, we can first think of the first factor: the quality is different. The same product, even if the same material is used, the difference in production process and the ability to control details will still lead to differences in quality. Good quality glasses are naturally more expensive. In addition to quality reasons, what other reasons? After two years in the eyewear industry, I would like to introduce to you: 2、the frame material is different, the lens material is different. Frame material is different: At present, the commonly used frame materials mainly include natural materials such as plastic,cellulose acetate, metal, titanium and horn. Glasses made of these materials are called as the names suggest: plastic glasses, acetate eye

Why are the thicknesses of the lenses different?

Before that, we have talked about the acetate eyewear, metal eyewear, titanium eyewear in detail, including the related knowledge of wood eyewear and buffalo horn eyewear later. Now more and more people with myopia, when conditions permit, myopia patients want to wear a pair of light and thin glasses. Wearing thin and light glasses for a long time will not press the nose and tire the ears. So why is the thickness of the lens different? Below I have roughly summarized several aspects that affect the thickness of the lens, please watch. 1: The size of the glasses frame. Assuming your interpupillary distance is 60, and the frame's interpupillary distance is 70, divide by 2 and you should move the center point by 5mm. The amount of heart shift is what really determines the thickness in essence. Myopic lenses are thin at the center and thick at the edges. So the more you get to the edge, the thicker you get. In theory, the closer your interpupillary distance is to the frame's inte

How to make wooden glasses ? Before clarifying this problem, let's first understand what wood glasses are. Wooden glasses are glasses made of wood as raw materials and processed through production. Just like horn glasses, this kind of glasses made of pure natural materials has a different style from our common acetate glasses or metal glasses, showing different textures, and is also loved by many people. Since the material is natural, each pair of glasses has a different texture. It can be said that each pair of wood glasses is unique. You will not find two pairs of wooden glasses with exactly the same texture in this world. Now, let's take a look at how wood glasses (including wood sunglasses and wood optical glasses) are made. The raw materials of wooden glasses are mainly beech, red sandalwood, white wood and imported mahogany, etc. The colors are also very different, and the characteristics of each wood are also different. For example, the characteristics of red sandalwoo
