Flexon Eyeglass Frames

If you always worry about breaking your eyewear, you may benefit from the peace of mind Flexon eyeglass frames by Marchon can offer. You may also see them referred to as memory metal frames. They're dubbed such because of their ability to bend and then return to their normal shape.

What Flexon Eyeglass Frames Are

You probably can guess just by looking at the name that Flexon frames are flexible. Some people call frames with spring-hinge temples "flexible" frames, but they have nothing on Flexon's product. You can wrap the legs of the frames around your fingers almost as if they're made of yarn. They then pop back into their original shape when released.

Expect to pay roughly $100 to $150 for the frames and have limited color choices as most Flexon frames err on the neutral side of things. If you normally prefer bold, colorful looks for your glasses, you might want to look elsewhere.

Who can benefit from Flexon eyewear?

• Men
• Women
• Teens
• Children
• People who tend to break the bridge or the legs of their glasses
• Those who want the reassurance that if they drop or sit on their eyeglasses, the frames are less likely to snap
• Individuals who find themselves in the optical shop time and time again asking for a little tweak to their frames because they've been bent

Anybody who wants peace of mind when it comes to protecting their eyewear can benefit from Flexon's frames. As mentioned above, though, if your style's a little more contemporary, Flexon's traditional style may have you looking elsewhere.

Flexon's technology will, of course, only protect the frames of your eyeglasses. Lenses still shatter sometimes. Polycarbonate lenses are more impact resistant and less likely to break. If they do break, they won't spray shards of plastic at your face and eyes. Consider matching polycarbonate lenses with your flexible frames.

Why They Work

Though some people don't care about how they work as long as they don't break when sat on, for the others, here is an explanation of a little bit of the technology behind Flexon frames:

They're strong and flexible because they're made from a titanium-based alloy. Titanium is the strongest material a frame can be made from; add the agents used to make it flexible and you get Flexon frames. Titanium frames also tend to be lighter than others. That holds true with Flexon frames, as well.

Flexon material is not exclusive to the Flexon collection. Flexon is also used in some models within brands like Nike and Maui Jim, according to Frames Direct.

Find Yours

You can check with your local optical shop for Flexon eyeglass frames or go ahead and order some online with or without your prescription lenses intact when they arrive. Some retailers will fill your prescription for you via an online form; others will send you the frames and you will need to have the prescription filled locally. For example, Frames Direct has Flexon items for men and women in shapes and sizes ideal for readers, single vision prescriptions, and bifocals.

Also Available from Flexon

Flexon isn't limited to eyeglasses. You can also find Flexon sunglasses and clip-on designs. Check with optical shops near you as well as online at sites like Frames Direct and Sunglasses Giant.

Please note that sunglasses will be pricier than eyeglass frames alone.

In Summary

Flexon eyeglasses are great for anyone who needs durability, flexibility, and a classic look. Don’t be afraid to shop online or ask your local optical shops about their Flexon selection if you don't see it on the shelf. If they carry Marchon products, chances are, they might just have a Flexon frame or two on the shelves.
