Hi. This is Glenn and Michael with All American Eyeglass Repair.
We just wanted to take a moment to help explain the type of frame material you may have.
First of all, zyl or plastic material. You’ll see that on this Cazal frame.
Michael has what’s called a semi-rimless frame. You’ll see metal on the top and a wire underneath, similar to fishing line.
This will be a full metal frame. You’ll see this Ray Ban has metal all the way around, and temples that also flex.
And finally, Michael has what’s called a three-piece drill mount. You’ll see he points out those features. The uniqueness about this frame…it’s mounted by drilling holes through the lenses.
I hope this information helps and if you need repairs on any of these frames, please contact All American Eyeglass Repair.
