When buying glasses, customers often pose us the question: should I get plastic or metal frames? Both have their advantages and characteristics, so it is important to know what you are look for.

Plastic frames

Plastic frames are lightweight, comfortable, and available in a wide variety of colours and shapes, making them ideal for adding some style to your everyday life. However, it is important that they really fit properly to you, as they can deform more easily when exposed to heat and are more susceptible to mechanical damage.

Metal frames

Metal frames are elegant and durable, ideal for those who plan for the long term. They are resistant to heat and are less likely to deform. However, those with nickel allergies should choose an allergen-free or coated metal frame.

Which one to choose?

If you are looking for a comfortable, colourful, and easy to change style, plastic may be the better choice.

If you are looking for a durable, long-term solution and classic look, then metal frames are worth considering.
