Plastic and metallic eyeglass frames have been ruling the eyewear market and have transformed the eyeglass frames industry drastically from boring-looking frames to pretty stylish frames. Every frame whether plastic or metallic has its own benefits and drawbacks. Therefore, some crucial features of the best material for eyeglass frames are:-
Strength — Frame must be strong enough that it does not break easily and can hold the weight of all lenses types (including both prescription glasses and non-prescription glasses).
Weight — The lighter the frame weight, the better and more comfortable it will be to carry out the entire day.
Perfect fit — The nose pads and temple rest should fit without being tight or loose on your nose and behind the ears respectively.
Damage-free — Frame must not get a break, damage or get rusty easily due to body sweat, moisture, water, sun etc.
Skin-friendly — Some frames may cause skin allergy due infusion of nickel in frame material which is a hypoallergenic metal. It may lead to rashes or allergy around nose or temple area.
Cost — Pocket-friendly frames are always given weightage but the benefits of expensive frames cannot be overlooked.

If we talk about plastic frames in relation to the above-mentioned characteristics, plastic frames are inexpensive, Hypoallergenic, lightweight and are available in various attractive hues and styles including pricey branded designer glasses frames. But plastic frames tend to break easily, even if they fall on the floor. Noticeably, they are not flexible and the colour of some plastic frames could fade away after some time, making their appearance outdated. Plastic frames come in zylonite (cellulose acetate), Cellulose acetate propionate, Blended nylon and Optyl. Soft plastic frames are a good option for kids as they do not cause skin allergy.
On the other hand, titanium glasses metal frames are strong, durable, unbreakable, lightweight, doesn’t wear and tear, flexible, corrosion-resistant and are affordably priced, like stainless steel, aluminium etc. The sad part is that some metallic frames cause skin allergy to users due to the presence of nickel in the alloys, like Monel, which is a composition of several metals.
Titanium is the only metallic frame which covers all the necessities an ideal frame must hold. Titanium is a silver-grey colour bright metal which is corrosion-resistant, highest density, extremely strong, hypoallergenic, durable, fashionable, lightweight and exceptionally flexible among all the eyeglass frames. The strength of titanium can be analysed from the fact that it does not rupture due to accidental fall, bent, press or twist. Being lightweight, titanium can hold high power strength lenses for reading glasses, distance glasses, prism glasses etc. Titanium frames seem to be the most stylish in rimless glasses, half-rim glasses and full-frame lenses.

Undoubtedly, it is named as bendable titanium and memory titanium. Moreover, such safety and durability are hard to find in any other frame’s material.

Cost-effective Titanium
Pure titanium frame (i.e. Titanium 100) consists of 90% to 100% of titanium by weight. Consequently, it is very expensive and turns out it to be inaccessible among a large segment of eyeglass users.
Titanium is mixed with other metals to form alloys, which reduces the cost of titanium frames to the least minimal. For instance, Beta Titanium is an alloy of titanium having 75% titanium and other low-cost metals namely, copper, aluminium, beryllium etc. Similarly, Nickel-titanium contains 40% to 50% part of titanium and rest is all nickel.
