Metal, Plastic, Frameless- Does it really matter? If you like a lightweight reader or a variety of colors, plastic is the material for you. They are usually molded in the bridge area so no annoying nose pads to dig in, but also not so great for those noses requiring a more custom fit.

Metals are often heavier but also more durable. Frameless options are nearly fool proof when it comes to appearance. They look good on most everyone and come with either plastic or metal temple/bridge. Their only drawback is they can be somewhat delicate.

The over 40 group today is not ashamed of the fact that a little extra reading correction is needed. They revel in it. With funky, fun colored reading glass frames, and gimmicky new devices we are constantly amazed at the latest reading novelty.
