Frame Material Definitions
Our eyeglass frames for women, men and kids are made in various materials:
Aluminum is mostly used in the high-end eyewear design market because it creates unique looks. The sleek look of aluminum is easily recognizable and always tends to look very modern. It is as strong as steel but is much lighter. It is lightweight and highly corrosion-resistant and finally, it is hypoallergenic and tends to keep its shape over time.

Injection Plastic
