Fashion Trends in Modern Eyewear

editor — Tue, 17 May 2011 13:06:38 +0000

Modern eyeglass frames can be found in both rimless and semi-rimless varieties (where the lens is held in place by a screw or a wire) as well as traditional full-frames. If the rimless and semi-rimless varieties are combined with a lens anti-reflective coating it can almost seem as if you are not wearing glasses at all. These types of eyeglasses (rimless and semi-rinless) are both lightweight and durable and have a modern sophisticated look. Another new development in eyeglass frame technology is the use of titanium. Titanium is extremely lightweight and non-corrosive, serving to be both durable and fashionable. Other popular metal frame materials are stainless steel and aluminum, which are again very durable and modern looking. Modern eyeglasses are increasingly using plastic to give a stylish look to frames and are available in a variety of styles–from thin classic frames to bold ones with layers of colored plastics that are laminated together for standout effects.
