I’m Melissa with Woolenton Optometry for Expert Village here to tell you how to choose
your eyeglasses. Memory metal frames are a very popular style of frame, all memory metal
means is that you can take the frame, you can twist it and bend it kind of like a pretzel
and it goes back to it’s original shape. These types of frames are really good for
children or anyone who’s active because they are less likely to break and they are
less likely to bend up and they need fewer adjustments. They are, the original adjustment
period might take a little longer for these types of frames but once they are adjusted
correctly they tend to keep their shape a lot longer than other frames do. Most are
metal frames you might find a few that have the plastic temples on them and they come
in both full metal and semi-rimless, and that’s just up to you whether you decide, what look
you like best, one is not better than the other. Another thing to keep in mind is that
even though a memory metal frame is more durable and less likely to break than most frames
it still can be broken so you don’t want to go around just twisting it for the fun
of it, you want to make sure that you are taking care of it like any other frame on
the market. And then the last thing about a memory metal to keep in mind is that most
of them are made with titanium or at least partially made with titanium so that just
means that they are going to be more hypoallergenic than most, than other frames on the market.
And that’s the characteristics of a memory metal frame.
