Frequently Asked Questions

How does the screwless pressure-mount hinge work?

The pressure-mount hinge uses precision-fitted titanium components that maintain tension through the material's natural spring properties, eliminating the need for screws or springs. The hinge parts interlock and hold position through carefully engineered tolerances, so there are no mechanical fasteners to loosen or fall out over time.

Can I get prescription lenses in Charmant Pressure Mount frames?

Yes, all Charmant Pressure Mount eyeglass frames are designed to hold prescription lenses. The frames accept single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses, and can be fitted by any optical lab. The titanium construction is sturdy enough to support high-index and polycarbonate lens materials.

How do the magnetic clip-on sunglasses attach?

The clip-ons use embedded magnets in both the clip-on frame and the eyeglass front. You simply align the clip-on with the frame and the magnets snap it into place. The attachment is secure enough for active wear but easy to remove when you go indoors. The magnets don't touch your prescription lenses, so there's no risk of scratching.

What's the difference between standard and flex-fit (F suffix) models?

Standard Pressure Mount frames use the screwless hinge in its traditional configuration. Flex-fit models (marked with 'F' like TI29127F) add spring action in the temples for a more forgiving fit, helpful if you have a wider head or prefer frames that adjust to movement. Both versions maintain the screwless construction.

Are titanium frames hypoallergenic?

Yes, pure titanium is hypoallergenic and won't cause reactions in people sensitive to nickel or other metals commonly used in eyeglass frames. Titanium is also highly resistant to corrosion from sweat, cosmetics, and environmental exposure, making it ideal for all-day wear.

Do I need to buy the clip-on separately from the eyeglasses?

Yes, the clip-on sunglasses are sold separately and are model-specific. Each clip-on is designed to fit its corresponding eyeglass frame (for example, TI16731C fits TI16731). This lets you choose whether you want just the optical frame or the complete eyewear-plus-sunglasses system.

Charmant's focus on functional design means these frames suit professionals, active individuals, and anyone who values reliable eyewear that doesn't require constant adjustment or repair. The titanium construction resists corrosion and flexes without breaking, while the pressure-mount hinge technology keeps temples aligned year after year.
