Yes, acetate frames can be durable. Acetate is a strong and durable material, which means it can withstand a certain amount of wear and tear. Compared to traditional plastic frames, they offer superior durability and flexibility. This makes them less likely to be damaged, and capable of providing a more comfortable fit. However, acetate is not unbreakable and it is important that people care for their glasses to ensure their longevity. Care instructions can be found alongside your acetate glasses purchase. Ensure you follow these to maintain their high quality.

Yes, acetate is a lightweight option for eyeglasses frames. This makes it a comfortable eye glass frame perfect for prolonged wear. Unlike slightly heavier metals, acetate doesn’t put excess pressure on the bridge of the nose or temples. Acetate eyeglass frames are perfect for those who prefer a lighter frame on their faces.
Acetate frames are eco-friendly in many aspects. Acetate is made from natural materials such as cotton and wood pulp which are biodegradable, unlike traditional plastic eyeglass frames. However their ability to biodegrade is highly dependent on the conditions in which the material is discarded, the added chemical structure in the material, and the finishes that have been applied to it. Therefore, it cannot be considered a completely eco-friendly material.
In the market for a pair of eyeglasses? Before you get overwhelmed by the endless options, take into consideration a few important elements: prescription strength, overall fit, and your face shape.
Choosing the right frame is about more than just style. The wrong frame can impact the effectiveness of your prescription. The rest points of glasses need to seat properly or they can create slippage and discomfort.
The lenses of glasses have “sweet spots” called optical centers that need to line up exactly over the center of the pupil. If glasses are slipping, not only is this a nuisance, but it can affect vision by decentering the lenses over the eyes. This becomes even more important with stronger prescriptions.
These are the key fit areas of any eyeglass frame front, including the pupil location “sweet spot”. Focusing on these key areas will give you a tailored look that will work perfectly with your prescription.

Remember this when thinking about ordering glasses online. If you do not get the optical center of the lens lined up properly with your pupils, this can create distortion in your vision. Here at Eye to Eye, we measure the distance between your pupils monocularly. Eyes are not always the same distance from the nose on each side. We also look at the distance your pupil is from the side of the frame. This all helps you see the best out of the prescription your optometrist gives you.
The best fit will “frame” your face. Pay attention to how the overall frame width works with the width of your face. The end piece should match with the widest part of your face at your temples (just in front of your ears). This fit feature is more important than the size of the lens.
Eye position is very important not only for how your frame looks on you, but how your Rx works in that frame. Horizontally, each eye should be centered in the lens up to 5mm inside of lens center–never outside of center. Vertically, if you imagine the lens in four equal sections, your eyes should be in the 25% segment just above center-never below center and never in the top 25%.
Comfort is key and trying on the frame is essential. Whether acetate pads that are integrated into the frame, or pads attached by metal pad arms, the nose pads should rest comfortably on the sides of your nose. The frame shouldn’t rest on your cheeks nor should the top of the frame bridge only rest on the top of your nose. This balanced fit ensures the frame fits comfortably and helps it to stay in place.
While the popular generalities around how round frames are better for square faces and vice versa, this may be an oversimplification. Don’t be afraid to experiment a little. Sometimes the size of a frame is much more important than the shape. For example, if you have a round face a small round frame may look great, but a large round frame doesn’t work.
There are two things to consider–your Rx power and Rx type. For low power single vision wearers, you don’t need to be concerned. For higher Rx powers (over a +/- 3.00) and/or progressive or bifocal wearers, lens size matters. High power Rx’s will want to keep the lens size as small as possible and eyes as centered as possible to help reduce lens thickness and weight. Progressive/bifocal wearers will want to ensure your eyes are in that 25% above lens center–the deeper the frame the more room you’ll have for the distance to intermediate to reading portions.
