Acetate glasses FAQs

Acetate glasses are made of a durable, plant-based, plastic material that’s a bit different from typical petroleum-based plastics. Acetate, also known as cellulose acetate, is hypoallergenic, making it generally suitable for those with sensitive skin. They offer a stylish, sustainable, and comfortable option for prescription eyeglasses or fashionable sunglasses.
Acetate glasses frames are easier to adjust compared to traditional plastic and are typically more durable. Plus, acetate glasses tend to be a bit more versatile when it comes to shape, color, and finishes, making it simple to find a pair that complements your favorite fit.
Acetate is both durable and flexible. Acetate frames can easily be adjusted to accommodate your face shape when heated. An optician can help you make adjustments for a custom fit, but you can also tighten and adjust your glasses at home. 

Looking to improve the fit of your glasses? Try these simplified steps: 
  1.  1. Soak the temple ends of your glasses in hot water for 30 seconds. 
  2.  2. Utilize gentle pressure to bend both sides of the temple ends. 
  3.  3. Let your glasses cool, and then try them on. 
  4.  4. Adjust and repeat steps as needed.
The recommended cleaning process for acetate glasses is similar to cleaning any pair of eyeglasses. Begin by washing your hands, and then rinse your glasses with lukewarm water. Apply a mild dishwashing liquid or a glasses cleaning solution, followed by a second rinse. Finally, dry your glasses with a clean microfiber cloth or lint-free towel.
