What are buffalo horn frames？

-

Now, I am looking for natural material and hopefully they can be useful for eyewear manufacturing. All natural material has it own beautiful color and pattern creates by GOD, Therefore, every pair of buffalo horn frames manufactured is unique. In this world, you cannot find two pairs of horn frames with exactly the same color.

Buffalo Horn frame is a beautiful material to work with but very difficult for manufacturing. There are some important tips for adjustment and maintenance:

1.Only use CR-39 lens. If lenses made of other materials are used, they may react chemically with the horns, resulting in damage to the horn eyeglasses.

2.The lens must cut in exact rim groove size. The horn material is very hard, so the cut lens must be very precise.

3.For Buffalo Horn frames adjustment/lens insertion---always wet Buffalo Horn Eyewear frame with baby oil or corn oil, then heat with hot air up to 200 C evenly til the material is completed "soft". Then hold the Buffalo Horn Eyewear for air dry with thick oiled cotton clothes. 

4.Never soak Buffalo Horn frames in ultrasonic cleaning machine, neither water.

5.We know that acetate eyewear and metal eyewear have a certain degree of flexibility and can be adjusted according to different face shapes. But the horn material is very hard and brittle, so anytime never bend buffalo horn frames in cold. It will crack! 

If the horn frames are stained with dust or other substances, remember that you must not use chemical cleaners, just use clean water to clean it. Since the horn eyeglasses are made of natural materials, it is necessary to avoid collision and friction with hard objects as much as possible, avoid falling, avoiding folding, avoiding high temperature, etc, otherwise it is easy to deform. In addition, in order to prevent cracking caused by thermal expansion and contraction in daily use, it is recommended to use petroleum jelly or olive oil on the inner surface of the frame to moisturize and moisturize the horns.

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
