Metal Glasses Frames

Metal glasses frames are constructed from alloys such as stainless steel, monel, or aluminium. Shaped into temples, bridges, and rims through precision engineering. Metal frames are characterised by their slimmer profiles, refined finishes, and inherent structural strength. Properties that make them a long-standing choice for minimalist and professional eyewear.

Yes. Metal frames are well-suited to daily wear, thanks to their strength and ability to maintain shape over time. Their slim construction keeps them lightweight and comfortable for extended use. Most of Direct Sight metal frames feature adjustable nose pads. These allowing for a more precise, tailored fit across different nose shapes.

Metal frames are highly versatile and work across a broad range of face shapes. Thinner metal frames are particularly suited to oval and oblong faces, where the reduced visual weight keeps proportions balanced. Wider metal frames with more defined geometry work well on rounder face shapes, where the structured outline adds helpful contrast. For full details please visit our frames and face shapes guide.

Yes. Metal frames are compatible with varifocal lenses, provided the lens depth is sufficient to accommodate the reading and distance zones comfortably. Our optical team can advise on which metal frame styles offer the best lens depth for varifocal wearers.

All frames suitable for varifocal lenses will have the option available at checkout. Frames that do not meet the required depth will not include a varifocal lens option, so you only select from compatible styles.
