Optical Frames

Optical frames demand more than good looks. They must hold prescription lenses securely, sit comfortably for all-day wear, and survive daily handling. Our frames are engineered for exactly that — precise lens grooves, stable temples and adjustable nose pads.

Material is the starting point. TR90 offers lightweight flexibility, acetate brings rich color depth and hand-feel, metal and titanium deliver slim profiles with strength. Each material is offered across full-rim, half-rim and rimless constructions.

Optical frames are also the natural home for blue-light and clear-lens eyewear — high-volume categories for screen-heavy lifestyles. We manufacture both with the same fit and finish standards as our fashion lines.

An optical frame earns its keep at the edging machine. The lens groove — the channel a glazing machine cuts into the rim — must be consistent in depth and angle, or the lens seats loose, rattles, or pops out under daily handling. Geometric precision matters equally: if the two rims are not symmetric and true, a prescription lens sits decentered and the wearer sees distortion. We hold these tolerances in tooling and check them on every batch, because a frame that cannot hold a lens correctly is a return waiting to happen, not a product.

Material sets both the feel and the price band. TR90 is the value-plus workhorse: light, flexible and nearly unbreakable, ideal for everyday and children's ranges. Acetate steps up, offering deep color, a polished hand-feel and the look buyers associate with boutique eyewear. Metal gives slim, dressy profiles at mid pricing, while titanium is the premium tier — feather-light, corrosion-resistant and hypoallergenic, for a flagship line. Match material to the customer you are chasing, and use the price gap between tiers to build a clear good-better-best story across your range.

Construction changes how a frame wears and how it sells. Full-rim frames hold any lens thickness and carry color across the whole face of the eyewear, the most forgiving and the most popular. Half-rim keeps the top line but exposes the lower lens edge for a lighter, more professional look — at the cost of needing slightly stronger lens edges. Rimless mounts the lens directly to the bridge and temples, the lightest and most discreet option, but the one most sensitive to drilling and fit. Each suits a different buyer, and we produce all three in any material.

Optical frames are the natural platform for blue-light and clear-lens programs, two high-volume categories for screen-heavy lifestyles. A blue-light lens sits in the same rim as a prescription lens, so one frame design can serve both markets and cut your tooling and inventory. The frame still has to do real work: it must accept the lens edge cleanly and keep the bridge comfortable through hours of wear. We design with both applications in mind, so a single model can be glazed for vision correction or screen protection without any modification to the frame.

Optical frames fit a wide buyer profile. Independent optical shops want small, curated batches with dependable fit and adjustable hardware they can fine-tune for each patient. Chains and buying groups need consistent tolerances, repeatable colorways and volume capacity. Online eyewear sellers value light, resilient frames that survive shipping and returns, plus finishes that photograph well. Wherever you sit, the requirement is the same: a frame that fits a lens precisely and holds it for years. That is the standard we build to, and it is why optical is its own discipline rather than an afterthought.
