PLASTIC

Monel is the most common metal for glasses because it can withstand large amounts of stress and heat without losing its shape, and it's extremely cost efficient.

Stainless steel is another popular option for metal frames. Lustrous in appearance, durable and corrosion resistant, stainless steel frames uphold their quality and appearance over time.

Titanium is a high quality option for those willing to shell out a little extra cash. Naturally hypoallergenic, this strong, but lightweight material is ideal for those who prioritize functionality.
