Stainless Steel Eyeglasses

If you are in the market for a new pair of metal glasses, stainless steel is a competitive option due to its sleek appearance, strength, and affordability. Additionally, these glasses are also very lightweight while not compromising on durability. At Rx Safety Glasses Canada, we carry many stainless steel eyeglasses in a variety of colours and styles. You can find semi-rimless frames, round frames, browline frames, oval frames and more. Stainless steel frames offer a professional, minimalist look that is desired by many for everyday wear. Take a look at our collection to find a pair of metal frames you love and customize the glasses-lenses with your prescription today!

The Composition of Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is an iron alloy that contains at least 10 percent chromium. The chromium helps prevent corrosion of this metal by creating an oxide film on the surface of the metal. Other metals used to make stainless steel eyeglasses include carbon, silicon, and manganese. Some frames may contain nickel and molybdenum to enhance their resistance properties and stretch-forming abilities. Stainless steel can cause a reaction in people allergic to nickel or chromates, but it is possible to find a nickel-free stainless steel eyeglasses frame.

The Cost of Stainless Steel Frames

While many people rave about titanium frames due to their incredible flexibility and strength, this material is one of the most expensive. While stainless steel eyeglasses have many of the same benefits of titanium glasses, such as being lightweight and corrosion-resistant, they are much more reasonably priced. Our collection has many durable, attractive stainless steel frames in the $9.95 to $59.95 price range, so you have several styles to choose from all at a low price. If you want a metal frame with a strict budget, stainless steel is a great choice.

Stainless Steel Prescription Glasses FAQs

Are Stainless Steel Eyeglass Frames Good?

Stainless steel glasses frames are valued for their incredible durability, corrosion resistance, and lightness. While stainless steel frames are difficult to scratch and maintain their shine for long periods, they lack flexibility. Another advantage of this material is that it often comes at a much cheaper price tag than titanium frames.

Which Is Better - Plastic or Metal Eyeglass Frames?

While metal eyeglasses look fashionably understated and professional, plastic frames are often thicker and have a bolder appearance. Plastic frames can be designed with a wider variety of colours and designs, and they won't irritate people with a metal allergy. Metal frames are often much more durable and lighter.

How Long Should a Pair of Glasses Last?

The average pair of glasses should last approximately three years, but frames made from high-quality materials, such as titanium or stainless steel, have been known to last for much longer. Of course, the durability of the material used for the frames and how well the glasses are maintained both have a major effect on whether your glasses last a few months or many years.

How Do I Choose Eyeglass Frames?

When you choose a new eyeglass frame, you should consider the material, shape, colour, and design of the frame. Also, search for a frame that meets your lifestyle and personal tastes. For instance, a working professional who works in an office setting would likely prefer different frames than a young child or athlete.

What Is the Lightest Eyeglass Frame Material?

Titanium acetate, and stainless steel eyeglasses, are all remarkably lightweight options. Generally, lighter frames are more comfortable than heavier frames. If you wear your glasses for most of the day, lightweight materials are less likely to make the nose of your bridge and temples ache after wearing them for a long period.

This is my first purchase from Rx Safety Glasses Canada. The safety glasses came quickly. Since I didn’t have a chance to try one on before buying, I was nervous about buying online.

I absolutely love these prescription sunglasses! The fit is perfect and the lens are actually darker than I anticipated but then I realized what I'd been missing by buying the 'pharmacy store' cheap glasses.

Love my new safety glasses! The fit is amazing, and I get compliments all the time. I did pay more for oil resistant lenses and think it was worth the extra.
