The Flexon E1111 eyeglasses deliver professional style backed by serious engineering. These men's rectangle frames are built with Flexon's proprietary memory metal technology—a titanium-nickel alloy originally developed for aerospace applications that returns to its original shape after being bent, twisted, or dropped. The full-rim metal construction features a clean rectangular profile with textured temples that add visual interest without sacrificing the frame's business-ready aesthetic.
Memory Metal That Actually Works
Flexon memory metal isn't marketing speak. The temples and bridge incorporate a titanium-nickel alloy (NiTiNOL) that flexes under stress and bounces back to shape. This means the E1111 can handle the daily abuse that breaks conventional metal frames—tossed in a bag, sat on, or knocked off a desk. The material is also significantly lighter than standard stainless steel, so these frames sit comfortably through long workdays or extended wear.
Adjustable nose pads let you fine-tune the fit, and the 17mm bridge accommodates a range of nose widths. Available in two lens widths (54mm and 56mm) and four finishes—Black, Brown, Gunmetal, and Navy—the E1111 adapts to different face sizes and personal styles.
Prescription-Ready and Built to Last
These frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim design provides maximum lens security and works well with higher prescriptions that require thicker lenses. The structured rectangle shape complements round and oval face shapes by adding definition and balancing softer features.
Flexon has been refining memory metal eyewear since 1988, combining Japanese materials and manufacturing precision with practical American design. The E1111 represents that legacy—durable enough for active lifestyles, refined enough for professional settings, and flexible enough (literally) to handle whatever your day throws at it.

Yes, the Flexon E1111 frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim metal construction provides excellent lens security and can accommodate most prescription strengths, including higher prescriptions that require thicker lenses.
What is Flexon memory metal and how durable is it?
Flexon memory metal is a titanium-nickel alloy (NiTiNOL) that returns to its original shape after being bent, twisted, or flexed. This technology, originally used in aerospace applications, makes the frames significantly more durable and resistant to damage than conventional metal frames. The material is also lightweight and hypoallergenic.
What face shapes work best with rectangle eyeglasses like the E1111?
Rectangle frames like the Flexon E1111 work particularly well for round and oval face shapes. The structured rectangular lines add definition and angularity, helping to balance softer facial features. The frames are available in two sizes (54mm and 56mm lens width) to accommodate different face widths.
What sizes are available for the Flexon E1111?
The Flexon E1111 is available in two sizes: 54-17-140 and 56-17-145. The first number is the lens width in millimeters, the second is the bridge width, and the third is the temple length. Both sizes feature a 17mm bridge, with temple lengths of 140mm or 145mm depending on the lens size selected.
Can the Flexon E1111 nose pads be adjusted?
Yes, the Flexon E1111 features adjustable nose pads that can be fine-tuned for a customized fit. This allows you to adjust the frames for optimal comfort and proper positioning on your face. Flexon frames require minimal adjustment overall due to their flexible memory metal construction.

Flexon E1111 vs. E1110: Choosing Between Sibling Models
The Flexon E1111 and E1110 are closely related models that share the brand's signature memory metal technology and rectangle frame shape. The key difference lies in the temple design: the E1110 features a rubber sleeve overlay with laser-cut detailing that creates a more textured, contemporary look, while the E1111 opts for textured metal temples that maintain a cleaner, more traditional professional aesthetic.
If you prefer a frame that works equally well in conservative business settings and casual environments, the E1111's metal temple construction offers versatility without visual distraction. The E1110's rubber sleeve adds grip and visual interest but may show wear over time and reads slightly more casual. Both frames offer the same core benefits—lightweight titanium-nickel alloy construction, adjustable nose pads, and the ability to flex and return to shape—so your choice comes down to aesthetic preference and intended use.
E1111 vs. E1042: Same Price Range, Different Styles
The Flexon E1042 sits in the same $140-$149 price range as the E1111 and delivers similar memory metal durability. While both are professional men's frames with full-rim construction, they differ in overall design language and available sizing. The E1111 offers two size options (54mm and 56mm lens widths) and four color choices, making it easier to find the right fit and finish for your face and style preferences.
For customers prioritizing fit flexibility and a proven rectangle design, the E1111 is the stronger choice. The E1042 may appeal if you're looking for a different aesthetic within the same quality and price tier, but verify sizing and color availability match your needs before deciding.
