The MODERN MARIA Eyeglasses deliver practical style at an exceptional value. These full-rim metal frames feature a softly rounded oval shape that flatters most face shapes, paired with distinctive two-tone temples in plum and pink that add a feminine touch without being overpowering.
Spring Hinge Comfort for All-Day Wear
What sets the MARIA apart is the integrated spring hinge mechanism. Unlike rigid hinges that can pinch your temples after a few hours, spring hinges flex outward to accommodate your head shape, applying just enough pressure to keep the frames secure without causing discomfort. This means no more headaches from tight frames, and the added flexibility makes these glasses more resistant to damage if you accidentally sit on them or stretch them while taking them off. The 135mm temples provide a comfortable fit for most adults.
Prescription-Ready Metal Frames
The metal construction offers durability and a lighter feel than plastic frames, while the full-rim design provides excellent lens support for a wide range of prescription strengths, including bifocals and progressives. The 53mm lens width and 17mm bridge create a medium fit that works well for everyday wear. Available in three color combinations—Plum/Pink, Mocha/Brown, and Gold/Pearl—so you can choose the palette that best complements your skin tone and wardrobe.
Modern Optical has been creating affordable eyewear for families since 1974, and the MARIA exemplifies their commitment to delivering quality frames that don't require a premium price tag. These frames are ready for your prescription lenses and ship with a protective case.
