has a great role to play. Frames are available in a variety of forms, including
injection molded plastic, acetate, metal, water buffalo horn, wood, tortoise shell,
etc.

are largely available in various shapes and colors. Petroleum based plastic is
injected into a mold and then solidified into a frame. They are affordable and look
attractive.

and flexible. This material provides a wide range of transparency, color and
finish.

materials. These metals are ideal for those who need heavier and long-lasting
frames.

build while a bit expensive than acetate and injection molded frames.

brands offer wood frames at competitive prices.
Tortoise shell:
Frames made
of genuine tortoise shell are probably the most expensive ones. These frames
need polish on a regular basis, because they turn matte over time.
When it comes
to frame shapes, they are classified as full, half and frameless. Here, you can
add color choices to your frame style. Typically, there four recommended colors
including gray, red, green and brown that reduce color distortion. So, it is
important to consider both frame material and lens for a better combination.
