DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The PLASTICS II ELWOOD Eyeglasses deliver quality acetate construction at an accessible price point. These full-rim prescription frames feature a clean square shape with a 55mm lens width and textured temple detailing visible in the photos—a practical choice for everyday wear without the designer markup.

The frames are built from acetate rather than basic injection-molded plastic. Acetate frames are lightweight and often considered better and higher quality than plastic frames, offering improved durability and a more refined finish. The material is hypoallergenic and therefore a popular choice amongst those with sensitive skin. Available in four matte finishes—Brown, Black, Grey, and Crystal—the ELWOOD provides versatile options that work with different styles and skin tones.

Integrated spring hinges add functional value. The spring or flex eyeglass hinge offers the active wearer a snug fit that doesn't pinch, and spring/flex eyeglass hinges come with an attached spring that allows them to bend past ninety degrees. This means the temples flex outward when you put them on or take them off, reducing stress on the frame and improving long-term durability. The 140mm temples and 13mm bridge accommodate a range of face sizes.

These frames are prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim design provides maximum lens stability, making them suitable for stronger prescriptions. At just over $30, the ELWOOD competes with budget retailers while offering acetate quality and spring-hinge engineering typically found at higher price points.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these frames prescription-ready?

Yes, the PLASTICS II ELWOOD frames are fully prescription-ready. They accept single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim acetate construction provides excellent lens stability, making them suitable for a wide range of prescription strengths including higher prescriptions.

What is the difference between acetate and regular plastic frames?

Acetate frames are generally higher quality than standard plastic frames. Acetate is more durable, flexible, and lightweight, making it less prone to breaking. It's also hypoallergenic, which is ideal for those with sensitive skin. The colors and patterns in acetate are embedded throughout the material rather than painted on, so they retain their appearance better over time.

What are the benefits of spring hinges?

Spring hinges provide a more comfortable and flexible fit than standard barrel hinges. They allow the temples to bend past 90 degrees, which makes the glasses easier to put on and take off without pinching. This flexibility also reduces stress on the frame, improving durability and making them ideal for active wearers.

What face shapes work best with square frames?

Square frames like the ELWOOD work particularly well for round and oval face shapes, as the angular lines add definition and balance to softer facial features. If you have a square face with a strong jawline, you may prefer rounder frame styles for contrast, though some people with square faces successfully wear square frames with slightly softened corners.

What size are these frames?

The ELWOOD measures 55mm lens width, 13mm bridge width, and 140mm temple length (55-13-140). This is considered a medium to large fit suitable for most adult faces. The lens height is 39mm, providing good coverage and a generous field of vision.

Can I get these frames with blue light blocking or anti-reflective coatings?

Yes, when you order prescription lenses for the ELWOOD frames, you can add various lens upgrades including blue light blocking coatings, anti-reflective treatments, progressive lenses, and photochromic (transition) lenses. These options are available during the lens selection process to customize the glasses to your specific vision and lifestyle needs.

PLASTICS II ELWOOD vs. Similar Budget Acetate Frames

The PLASTICS II collection offers several models at the same $30 price point, each with acetate construction and spring hinges. The key differences come down to frame shape and gender fit.

ELWOOD vs. HUDSON

Both the ELWOOD and HUDSON share identical construction quality and spring hinge technology. The HUDSON offers an alternative frame shape within the men's collection, so your choice depends primarily on which silhouette better complements your face shape and personal style. Both are prescription-ready with the same lens compatibility.

ELWOOD vs. EVERLY

The EVERLY is the women's counterpart in the PLASTICS II line, featuring a rectangle shape with a 54mm lens width (versus the ELWOOD's 55mm). While the EVERLY is marketed toward women, the main differences are proportional—slightly narrower frame width and different color options including Blue/Lilac and Purple matte finishes. If you prefer the ELWOOD's square shape and neutral color palette (Brown, Black, Grey, Crystal), it remains the better choice for most men and those seeking a unisex aesthetic.

All PLASTICS II frames deliver the same value proposition: quality acetate material, flexible spring hinges, and full prescription compatibility at an accessible price. Your decision comes down to frame shape preference and which dimensions best match your face size.
