FAQs

What are acetate glasses?

Acetate glasses are made wholly or partly from cellulose acetate, a frame material known for rich color, polished surfaces, and versatile styling. This collection includes both full-acetate frames and acetate-titanium designs in a wide range of shapes and finishes.

What is the difference between acetate and regular plastic glasses?

Acetate frames are commonly cut and polished from material sheets, which allows for deeper colors, layered patterns, and a refined finish. Many basic plastic frames are injection-molded instead. The weight, durability, and comfort of either material still depend on the individual frame design and construction.

Can acetate glasses be made with prescription lenses?

Yes. Acetate glasses in this collection can be customized with single-vision, progressive, reading, computer, photochromic, or prescription sunglasses lenses. Choose your preferred frame and click “Select Lenses” to view the available options.
