What Defines High-Quality Eyewear?
Not all glasses are created equal. Quality comes from a mix of superior materials, advanced optics, thoughtful design, and expert construction.
🧱 1. Superior Materials: The Foundation of Quality
Frame Materials That Last
- Acetate: Plant-based, vibrant color depth, comfortable, skin-friendly; high-grade acetate resists warping.
- Titanium: Ultra-light, rust-resistant, strong—comfort without sacrificing durability.
- Stainless Steel: Sleek, flexible, corrosion-resistant; offers structure and style.
- TR90: Lightweight, flexible, tough—great for active lifestyles.
🔍 At Optics Town, we source eyewear made with tested, skin-safe materials designed to last and feel great all day long.
Lens Materials and Protective Coatings
- Polycarbonate / Trivex: Lightweight, impact-resistant—ideal for active users.
- High-Index Plastics: Thinner, lighter lenses for stronger prescriptions.
- Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating: Reduces glare, improves clarity.
- UV Protection: Essential defense against harmful rays.
