An optical frame is the frame that holds the lenses of a pair of glasses. It’s the part of glasses that sits on your face, and it’s available in a variety of styles, sizes, and materials.
Some key things to know about optical frames:
- They are available in different shapes like round, oval, rectangular, etc. to suit different face shapes.
- Common frame materials include plastic, metal, and acetate. Plastic and acetate tend to be more affordable while metal frames are often more durable and adjustable.
- The size of the frames is important for proper fit and comfort. Frames that are too large or too small can be uncomfortable and affect how glasses sit on the face.
- Additional features like hinges, nose pads, and arm details can affect the look, feel, and functionality of glasses frames.
