Frames
 |
Would you know if the frames you are purchasing were made from a high quality material that should be long lasting and suitable for your face and easy to wear? Would you know if the quality of the product for that eyewear frame is inferior or the frame cannot be compatible for bending to your face shape or able to retain the shape of that adjustment? Or would you know if you have an average to high quality pair of prescription glasses or an inferior quality frame that simply cannot contain the lens very well? A lens can fall out from the frames due to poor fitting frames, and then can become frustrating to the point you will not wear them. The reality could mean that the "good value" you thought you were purchasing was nothing more than an aggravation and waste of your time, not to mention your money.

The variety of frames are being made in many leading countries such as, in Japan, India, France, Germany, Austria, ,Korea, China, U.S. and Hong Kong. The ranges of quality vary with the amount of the countries they are made in, from a high quality to poor quality. The European benchmark for showing the quality is a certification stamped on the arm of the frames; if the frame does not contain that mark, one can assume it has not passed a certified inspection process. First thing to look for in purchasing new frames is that mark on the inside arm of the frames. The problems with frames that are not inspected are; they can look great and stylish when you are trying them on, but the quality can be so inferior they will not wear for any length of time and your problems will begin the very day you begin to wear them.
At Salem Eye Clinic we only offer high quality certified frames from some of the top rated brands in the market. All of the frames we carry are selected to provide you the consumer, with a varied assortment of well-built styles. This offers the confidence that knowing whatever you select will be a great looking, long wearing, comfortable frame that will shower you with compliments from your friends and family.
Titanium
Titanium is 48% lighter on the face, but containing the same steel endurance. Titanium is an extremely popular choice in eyewear frames because of this fact; they are resistant to corrosion and create no sensitivities from the metal. This product has no adverse reaction to people's skin or their skin oils, which prevents allergic skin eruptions the tainting of the frames color. There are a lot of variances in the percentages of Titanium substance used in the making of a single frame. Some frames are advertised containing Titanium, but not revealing the small percentage of Titanium actually used. Other frames use no other metal than Titanium. Our clinic has made that part easy for you, so you can feel confident that we carry only the very best frames that will endure the daily wearing, stretching, dropping and scratching and gives you the comfort and high style you deserve.
Plastics
 |
Two different plastics are used in the production of most frames made - those being thermoplastics (which can be heated and re-shaped) and those which can't be re-formed, known as thermosetting plastic. Almost all eyewear frames are made from plastics which can lose their shape with the heat of your skin, and they do not contain 100% of the bendable and reshaping plastic, thermoplastic. Frames are in some instances, made from inferior products of nylon or from compounds of plastics and nylon products, and they will not soften safely while reshaping and or using heat when trying to make them fit your face.
Our optician is trained in recognizing these inferior products. We can recommend which frame material would serve you best with your particular prescription. We remove those problems you may encounter, especially with your first purchase of eyewear. We have lower priced quality frames also, and these have been carefully hand selected to guarantee the value, reflected in affordability.
