Searching for good memory metal frames, please help

[rob.optician]

Can anyone recommend good memory metal frames ? I am hoping to find a line for young men, although I may be interested in men and womens.


Thanks for your tips!:)

Almost everyone is getting a memory metal now. Add to Nike, Flexon from Marchon, Turaflex, Magic Twist from Viva, Eschenbach from Ronar.

Some of the lines we carry have memory metal frames - but only a couple different models.

Thanks for the advice - I will look into the above mentioned brands.

I like the Safilo Carerra Flexolite
Very reasonable pricing on these.

I suggest the best one : Lindberg frame, they have rimless, full frame,

semi full frame, for most the frame they have size different on nose

bridge, temple length and the most important color of own choice. The are

all made in titanium wire, very comfortable and durable. Also their after

sales service are terrific !

For kids I like the twistable series from Marcolin. For young men I'd go with the Charmant cfx line. It's similar to Nike, but less money. We also use some flexible products from Rich eyewear. This Rich items are bought straight from the manufacturer, although they do have a rep. His name is Chris Choi and he is the VP of the company. They have nice prices. PM me for details if you want.

I almost forgot the Haggar Flexible stuff from Ideal. These are mostly middle age men styles, with a few younger looking pieces.

I was browsing in another optical today and ran across some turaflex.

I'm not sure how to correctly describe this, my eyeglass frame anatomy escapes me at the moment. I didn't see the extra thickness of metal at either edge of the bridge like most other frames (flexon, etc). Does this make them less durable? I liked the look of them much better than a lot of the others.

I always assumed the extra thickness on most of them was to somehow increase the solder strength (and the normal memory metal was somehow less solder-able)?

We carry Turaflex also and they do well. There are two types of flexon soldering. One is like the Tura models where the bridge is directly soldered to the eyewire. The other is like the Marchon stuff where the bridge is inserted in to a small barrel and soldered. They both break.

You may want to contact DocInChina. I believe him and his partner can make whatever flex you want. Another Optiboarder, Jerry Huang may be a good contact as well.
