Clear Plastic Eyeglass Frames

I'm sure you can go to an optical shop (i.e - Wal Mart, Sears, Hakim Optical, Pearl Visions, etc) and ask them to make plastic lens for your frames.

If not, here are some alternative suggestions:

Option 1) Buy eyeglass models they display at any Optical Store. They are regular frames but with plastic lens.

Option 2) Put clear tape on the eyeglasses where the lens are supposed to be.

Option 3) Go to any party store and look for fake glasses. They must have many of those.

Option 4) Go to a photographer shop and ask if they sell glasses with fake lense. It's an old photographer's trick to use regular glasses with plastic lens in a photo, so there wouldn't be a glare on the real glasse lens, I'm sure they have them.

Good luck,

Hope this helps!

Men's eyeglasses that have plastic frames are a hot item, and many designer name brands are creating a variety of styles in plastic frames ...

I have bought a pair of eyeglasses with a plastic frame that is solid black on top of clear. I'd like to dye the frames so the clear areas take on a transparent pinkish tint. Anyone know much about what plastic eyeglass frames are made of and what would be a good meathod for dying them without damaging them? Will Rit dye work? Is there a way to stain them? I'd rather avoid any meathod involvong heat that might distort the shape or cause crazing. Anyone ever tried this?

You could try one of the new spray paints that are made just for plastic. Spray it into a little cup and then paint it on with a cotton swab.

My eyeglasses are clear plastic frames that fully surround the lenses. In between the frames and lenses, dirt/hairs/other small particles are getting trapped and starting to build up (sorry if it sounds gross!). Because I bought my frames off of E-Bay, the optical that did my lenses cannot replace my frames if they get damaged while popping the lenses out. They say that my frames would have to be heated up slightly to pop out the lenses. If the frames crack during the heating, they are not responsible. Is there anything I can do, or do I have to wait until I need new lenses (I'm keeping the frames as long as possible cuz they're designer and I really like them!)?

Use an ultra-sonic jewelery cleaner, sometimes they sell it as a denture cleaner. You put in some cleaning solution and the glasses and it just vibrates all the gunk out. They sell them in all the drug stores and K-Mart, Wal-mart, etc for around $10. It won't get it all out, but it will help.

So in the past six months I've seen a lot of people in New York, Chicago and Toronto wearing eyeglasses with completely clear frames. They don't look like what you might be thinking... meaning they are not your traditional style glasses with the arms and such. The closest I can find like it is something like these:

But these aren't even too close. They aren't smoked or anything, they are completely clear plastic and the arms are fat almost like one piece... but again it's not. Sorry I'm having a hard time describing them. I've been into two eyeglass shops and have tried to explain it and they look at me like I just fell off the turnip truck.

Anyway... I would love it if someone could point me to designers with frames that meet this description.
