Whether you are picking out your first pair of eyeglasses or you’ve been wearing them for as long as you can remember, all of us have a well founded concern for our glasses. They are so vital to our daily lives and we depend on them greatly. Some of us only need them to bring slightly blurry vision back into focus whereas others cannot see a thing without them. What would happen if they were destroyed in a flash? If the thought makes you cringe then you should consider bendable eyeglasses.
Luckily, bendable eyeglasses are becoming a big player in today’s market. Acting almost as a built in insurance policy for one of our most valuable assets, they bend and contort to the abuse we apply to them. Also, due to their inherent nature to rebound from whatever you can dish out, they make them an extremely attractive option when shopping for a new set of spectacles for your children. They can withstand being bent, twisted, and even sat on! They are considered almost unbreakable and, outside of extreme accidents, will return to their original shape no matter what you put them through. If you lead an active lifestyle, bendable eyeglasses may be the perfect choice for you as well. The remarkable qualities in bendable eyeglasses are achieved by using different composite materials and metal alloys. Some are common materials like titanium alloy while others are proprietary secrets owned by the manufacturer. Think of the metal as a muscle in your body. Our bodies, after many repetitive motions and actions, learn what we are doing and commit it to memory. This becomes known as muscle memory and these actions can be done without thinking. These alloys share a similar trait, metal memory, which allows them to “remember” their original form and revert back to it when an outside force acts upon it such as someone accidentally bending the temple.
For those that need them on a daily basis, your eyewear is an almost invaluable and irreplaceable asset. If something were to ever happen to them, you would literally lose your eyesight until you could procure yourself a replacement pair. They can be expensive as well. This is especially so if you aren’t able to wait out the time it takes to secure them from a less expensive source like the internet. If something were to happen to them, they can be hard to acquire during our most urgent time.
To minimize these risks, bendable eyeglasses are a great safety net and should be taken into careful consideration when making your next frame purchase.
