Today, titanium prescription glasses account for 30% of all glasses produced throughout the world. The continued popularity of this material for frames has opened the door for all sorts of great, new modern titanium frame designs to find their way to retail shelves.

Benefits of Titanium Eyeglass Frames
In addition to being lightweight, titanium frames boast a huge number of benefits over other frame materials.
Have sensitive skin? Choosing titanium eyeglass frames will go a long way in ensuring that your eyewear doesn't irritate your complexion. This is largely in part because titanium is hypoallergenic. However, It's important to note that if you're looking to make the most out of this particular benefit, you'll need to ensure the frames you pick clearly state they're made from 100% titanium. Some “titanium” frames on the market are only made partially from titanium as a way to cut production cost, and may not be as kind to your skin.
Taking your glasses off and on for reading, or just prone to losing them?A new pair of flexible titanium frames will quickly become your new best friend - the material is incredibly strong while still allowing enough wiggle room to reduce snapping potential in the event that your frames were to get stepped on, or banged around from being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Titanium glasses frames are also far less prone to discoloration than frames made from other types of metal. This is due to the way that they hold up against and interact with the natural oils on your face when they rest against your skin.
The Perfect Frame Color for Your Titanium Glasses

Many of the styles and colors can be found all across the board, but there are some key differences with how the frames fit on the face, so it's important to keep that in mind if you find a frame that you like.
When it comes to color selection, there are some basic tips to consider that might help you to narrow down your choices. All you need to do to take advantage of them is determine whether your underlying skin tone is warm or cool.

Why not try out a classic gold or bronze?
The same "rule" goes for those with cool underlying skin tones. By letting titaniums natural cool silver color take center stage, you're helping your skin to shine, too!
