1   Metal Frames                 
 
     Some metal frames are marked GF or GP meaning gold fill or gold plate. Often they will have the amount of gold fill preceding these letters, eg 1/10 12k, meaning one part in ten, 12 karat. The value of the gold in these frames is negligible however the fact that these frames have a gold content means that they are far less likely to corrode and will keep their look with an occasional polish with a jewellers cloth.
 

2   Plastic Frames

3   Rimless Frames            
 
     Rimless eyeglass frame sacrifices some strength in order to obtain the lightest weight. On our fitting and care page we discuss the rimless frame but using common sense handling and storage, this design will be durable in an office environment.
 
     Rimless frames fitted with high refraction lenses (thin) and good anti reflective coatings can be next to invisible when worn. Not only light weight but truly high fashion eyewear. The rimless eyeglass frame is in an attractive blue/grey gunmetal color with screwless fittings like the silhouette frames.
 
     We even include a hard case and cleaning cloth with each rimless frame.

4   Nylon Frames                
  
     Nylon frames are lightweight and again, hypoallergenic. Easy to adjust to size but responds better to hot water than traditional hot air frame warmers. Also, Nylon tends to dry out and it can be worthwhile giving the frame a soak in water once in a while. Keeping them "supple" in this way can make them virtually unbreakable.
