Why Choose Plastic Eyewear Frames?

The appeal of plastic eyewear frames lies in their ability to meet the everyday needs of modern glasses wearers. Beyond practicality, your glasses also express your individual sense of style.

Lightweight Feel: If you wear glasses from morning until night, comfort is essential. Heavier frames often create pressure points on your nose and around your ears, leading to discomfort over time. In contrast, plastic frame prescription glasses are feather-light, making them ideal for work, study, or a busy day out in town. Many customers in Ireland appreciate how effortless they feel, especially during long hours at the office or while driving.

Modern Designs: Plastic offers exceptional flexibility in design. Whether you prefer a bold statement look or a clean, minimal style, there’s a plastic frame that suits your taste. From professional blacks and greys to vibrant colours and translucent finishes, the options are endless, ensuring every wearer can express their individuality.

Excellent Value: High-quality eyewear doesn’t always come with a high price tag. Plastic frames are affordable without compromising on durability. Thanks to advanced manufacturing, Buy New Specs can offer high-quality plastic eyewear frames at prices accessible to everyone in Ireland. This makes it easy to own more than one pair, perfect for switching between a weekday and weekend style.

 

Benefits of Plastic Frame Prescription Glasses

Beyond their looks, plastic frame prescription glasses offer practical advantages that make them ideal for daily life.

Unmatched Comfort: Plastic frames typically feature smooth, built-in nose bridges rather than adjustable pads, providing a seamless fit. They feel gentle against the skin and don’t get cold in Ireland’s cooler months, a subtle comfort difference you’ll notice the moment you put them on.

Impressive Durability: Despite being lightweight, plastic frames are remarkably tough. Built to handle daily use, these frames are a dependable option for anyone seeking eyewear that stands the test of time. Their resilient structure ensures you can rely on them year after year, whether for commuting, studying, or family life.

Subtle Flexibility: Plastic frames are slightly flexible, allowing them to handle everyday knocks better than rigid metal designs. This flexibility offers added protection against accidental bending or impact, a reassuring feature for active lifestyles.

 

Style Versatility and Personality

Your glasses should be an extension of who you are. The design flexibility of plastic eyewear frames means you can find the perfect match for your personality.

Colour Options: Plastic allows for a wide spectrum of colours from timeless shades like black and brown to eye-catching tones such as blue, red, and translucent finishes. Whether you’re going for a clean, professional vibe or something more fun and expressive, your frame colour is the perfect way to show off your personality.

Shape and Finish Options: You’ll find round, rectangular, cat-eye, and geometric shapes in both matte and glossy finishes. This variety makes plastic frames an excellent choice for anyone seeking something timeless or on-trend without compromising comfort.

 

How to Choose the Right Plastic Frame Prescription Glasses

Choosing the right pair goes beyond appearance; it’s about achieving the perfect mix of comfort, fit, and confidence in your everyday wear. Here’s how to select your ideal match.

Frame Shape and Face Shape

  • Oval face: Almost any frame works well, feel free to explore!

  • Round face: Choose frames with clean lines or angular shapes to create more definition and contrast.

  • Square face: Choose softer shapes like oval or round.

  • Heart-shaped face: Cat-eye or semi-rim frames create visual balance.

Colour and Skin Tone

  • Warm undertones: Shades inspired by nature, such as tortoiseshell, honey brown, or soft gold, complement these skin tones beautifully.

  • Cool undertones: Grey, blue, or silver for a refined contrast.

  • For standout style: Try two-tone or transparent frames for a modern edge.

Size and Fit

Comfort is key. Your glasses should sit evenly, with your eyes centred in the lenses. The arms should rest securely behind your ears without pinching. At Buy New Specs, our sizing guides and expert customer service make it easy to find a pair that fits just right.
