The PLASTICS I SURREAL Eyeglasses deliver contemporary style and all-day comfort at an exceptional value. Manufactured by Modern Optical, these prescription-ready frames feature a square shape that works well for round or oval faces, adding definition and balance to softer features.
Acetate Construction & Gradient Fade Design
Built from durable acetate, these full-rim frames offer the lightweight feel and rich color depth that acetate is known for. The SURREAL is available in three eye-catching gradient fade finishes—Brown Fade, Grey Fade, and Black—that transition smoothly from darker tones at the top to lighter hues below. This layered color effect adds visual interest without overwhelming your look, making these frames versatile enough for both professional and casual settings.
Spring Hinge Comfort
The integrated spring hinges are a standout feature at this price point. Unlike rigid hinges, the spring mechanism allows the temples to flex outward, adapting to different head sizes and reducing pressure on your temples and behind your ears. This means the frames stay comfortable during extended wear and are less likely to become misaligned or damaged from everyday handling. Spring hinges also make the glasses easier to put on and take off with one hand.
Prescription-Ready & Practical
The SURREAL accepts single vision, progressive, and bifocal prescription lenses, making them a practical choice for everyday eyewear. The 53mm lens width and 17mm bridge provide a medium fit suitable for most adults, while the 145mm temples offer secure, comfortable positioning. The full-rim construction provides maximum stability for your lenses and ensures durability over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the PLASTICS I SURREAL eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, these frames are fully prescription-ready and can accommodate single vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim acetate construction provides stable support for prescription lenses of various strengths, and the 53mm lens width offers adequate space for most prescriptions.
What are the benefits of spring hinges on these eyeglasses?
Spring hinges allow the temples to flex outward beyond the standard range, providing a more comfortable and adaptable fit. They reduce pressure on your temples and ears, prevent the frames from becoming misaligned, and make the glasses more durable by absorbing stress that would otherwise damage rigid hinges.
What face shapes work best with square eyeglass frames?
Square frames like the SURREAL work best for round and oval face shapes, as they add definition and angular contrast to softer features. The straight lines and defined corners help balance rounded facial features and create a more structured look.
What is the frame size of the PLASTICS I SURREAL?
The SURREAL measures 53mm lens width, 17mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length (53-17-145). This is considered a medium fit suitable for most adults, with a total frame width of approximately 128mm.
What is acetate and why is it used for eyeglass frames?
Acetate is a plant-based plastic material derived from cotton or wood pulp that's hypoallergenic, lightweight, and durable. It offers superior color depth and patterns compared to standard plastic, can be adjusted by opticians for a custom fit, and provides a smooth, comfortable feel against the skin.
Does the PLASTICS I SURREAL come with a warranty?
Yes, Modern Plastics I eyewear is backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty from Modern Optical that covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The frames also come with a matching case and cleaning cloth.
