There are many articles floating around on how to select frames according to your face structure or your skin tone, but very few people have written articles on how to select frames according to the weather condition. As a retailer I have come across many customers who complain that their frames have got decolorized or their color has flaked off with time and regret buying such frames.
Since many of us prefer to buy glasses online it is important that you make the correct decision before you purchase the glasses online. Here are a few facts of eyeglass frames that you should be aware of:
Metal Frames: Metal frames tend to get decolorized quickly, especially when they come in contact with sweat. Sweat is acidic in nature and hence corrodes the metal, which in return decolorizes the frame and the paint coating starts flaking off.
If you stay in a hot and humid place, plastic frames are highly recommended. Avoid using metal frames. If you feel more comfortable with metal frames, then you should choose gun metal or silver as frame colors. Avoid black, golden or any other color.
Plastic Frames: In general, plastic frames are considered to be the most durable. These frames do not lose their color and do not break easily. The only drawback is that these frames tend to lose their alignment- the frame gets wider as you use the glasses over a long period.
However, it is easy to re- align the frames. It is recommended that you take the glasses to a nearby optical store and they will be able to align the glasses for free or at a very nominal cost.
Titanium Frames: These frames have high malleability- they can be bent without breaking. Thus these frames need not be realigned for a long period. Moreover, these frames do not get decolorized. Though the titanium frames are more expensive than others, they are something worth investing as they last much longer than the others.
It is important that you select your eyeglasses that suit your personality. But it is equally important to keep in mind the above listed points if you are looking to buy glasses that last long and get value for money. There are many online sellers offering eyeglasses at very cheap price but you would not want your favorite pair to get discolored within few month of purchasing glasses. Do not hesitate to ask questions to the seller or the optician regarding frames as you are the one who is paying for the glasses.
