Frequently Asked Questions

Can Modern Metals frames be fitted with prescription lenses?

Yes, all Modern Metals eyeglass frames are designed to accommodate prescription lenses. They work with single-vision, bifocal, progressive, and high-index lenses. The metal construction provides a sturdy base for lens mounting, and the adjustable nose pads help balance the weight of prescription lenses comfortably. Your optician can customize the fit after your lenses are installed to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction.

What materials are Modern Metals frames made from?

Modern Metals frames are constructed from various metal alloys including stainless steel, nickel alloy, and memory metal (titanium alloy). These materials are chosen for their durability, lightweight properties, and resistance to corrosion. Many frames feature hypoallergenic coatings or use nickel-free alloys to minimize skin sensitivity. The metal construction allows for thin, strong frames that maintain their shape over time.

How do I clean and care for metal eyeglass frames?

Clean metal frames daily with lukewarm water and a mild dish soap, then dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, acetone, or abrasive cleaners that can damage metal finishes. Periodically check and tighten small screws at the hinges and nose pads. Store your glasses in a protective case when not wearing them, and have your optician adjust the fit every 6-12 months to maintain proper alignment and comfort.

Do Modern Metals frames have spring hinges?

Many Modern Metals styles feature spring hinges that allow the temples to flex outward beyond the standard 90-degree angle. Spring hinges reduce pressure on the sides of your head, accommodate different head widths, and help prevent frame damage from everyday wear. Check the specific product details for each style, as not all frames in the collection include this feature.

Are Modern Metals frames suitable for strong prescriptions?

Yes, metal frames like those from Modern Metals are often ideal for strong prescriptions. The material's strength supports the weight of thicker lenses without bending, and full-rim metal frames help conceal lens thickness at the edges. The adjustable nose pads distribute weight evenly, improving comfort when wearing heavier prescription lenses. Discuss high-index lens options with your optician to further reduce lens thickness and weight.

What is Designer Optics' return policy for Modern Metals frames?

Designer Optics offers a 30-day return policy on eyeglass frames in new, unworn condition with original packaging. If your Modern Metals frames don't fit as expected or you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return them within 30 days for a refund or exchange. Frames that have been fitted with prescription lenses may have different return terms, so contact customer service for specific guidance on your order.
